Got all 4 shocks off, but broke the top of the drivers rear... and the fronts are on, still have to replace the bottom rear mounts. Maybe later today maybe I'll do that tomorrow, what's the best way to go about fixing the top bolts?

Well mostly installed, I still need to torque the bolt that goes through the link and adjust the length. I don't have a 6mm 1/2" drive socket for my torque wrench and the back end is still up on jack stands waiting for me to get the shackles on.

Next XJ day will be Saturday, right after I pick up my leaf spring/shackle bushing in the morning. With any luck I can take it out and test it out.

I doubt more than 4000 and probably closer to 3000 on the T5. I didn't drive it that much this last summer.

Got my "new" tires balanced. Really makes a difference in the ride when they are balanced correctly!

Made some swing out foot rests for both passenger and driver side out of some scrap steel... debating on capping the ends or leaving them open for easy wash out after wheeling

What are the foot rests for? So you can break your foot while wheeling?
