Installed my tow hooks etc. Got ready to put the bumper back on and found that I had lost a bolt somewhere. So I guess that's today's stopping point.

New front pads and rotors, as well as new caliper bolts and bushings. It stops much less worse now.

Default Finished The Swap

Finished swapping in my front axle into my '94. Drives real nice now (new shocks, u-joints, ball-joints, greased all the bushings. Repairs from before it was my parts jeep). Needs an alignment now. Drives kinda straight but wheel is off by 90 degrees. Its a shame I am trading it, but I think the '00 is worth it. Also cleaned out my '00.

got my new shocks in the front, flexed it out, pics in my build thread, need to trim my tank skid tomorrow cause exhaust hits ill do that after work then get some quotes on welding the holes in on my fenders and seeing how much a local offroad shop would charge to cut my rear quarters and weld them together.

Anyone with stock brakes and big tires knows exactly what I mean.
