TodayI am adding a set of new projectore headlights and led tails and my new led side lights. after repainting my roof basket, bumper and guards.

I have been waiting for two years to do this...its time!
I forgot WJs and JKs shared the same bolt pattern! Looks good! Way better than on a JK IMO

What's in the "anti-death wobble kit"? Lowering springs? lol

Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate them!

The KOR kit has two steering stabilizers, a JKS adjustable track bar, really hard bushings and hardware.

It's $400 for a JKS track bar, some bushings to eliminate tie rod roll, and dual steering stabilizers

Couldn't you just get a red double shear IRO trac bar. I have an old probably busted stabilizer and even when I had an issue with my trac bar, my fault, I never had DW. It's all in the quality of the product

Picked up and installed a new passenger side mirror, and grabbed cleanish front carpet. The lady power washed the carpet while I changed her oil. Plan is to get the carpet installed tomorrow.

Also helped a buddy pull 03 liberty rear disc setup. Gunna go back next weekend to pull a setup for mine.

Not an XJ, but for the past 3 days I've been helping a guy install a lift on his 91 YJ. He thought it would take a day, I was laughing until he called for help. All leaf bolts corroded, all brake line corroded, two lug nuts seized and had to be broken off with air chisel, caliper bolt seized and then the screw extractor broke off inside (came out with a punch and some tapping), even the bolts on the D35 yoke snapped. Lot of effing work, and its still down because the PO put the wrong caliper on the left side and we can't get the brakes to bleed, so we're waiting for new ones.

Finished removing the exhaust and finally started to remove the u-joints from the axles I bought from XJ Wonders several months ago. I added a couple of pics of the front pipe, I wonder if I will see an improvement in performance with a new one. I also did some final touchups on the coil springs.

I would clip the wires and just make my own plug from there. as long as they are color coded you can't go wrong!

Real nice. Little hint for after you repaint the flares, touch them up with liquid shoe polish when they get nicked. Gives them a real nice look.
The guy bought it new in 92 and just kept it as clean as possible. The only reason it has any rust at all is because it had to sit for 2 years when he was in Iraq.
I actually had to buy it from his parents cause he's off somewhere for the military, so I don't know as much as I want to about it.
I did give them my CF user name and told them to give it to them, so hopefully he'll contact me.
