Got the 2wd Comanche tags renewed. I was in and out of the DMV within 5 minutes... I think that's a record.

What kind of mount are you going to use for that antenna? Also are you using a spring with that firestik?

Got the nut off but can't get the bolt out for the upper control arm. Really frustrating since I can't get a hammer up in there

Frame-side? I ran into the same thing with my LCAs. Cut the nut and bolt head off then pried the whole mount wide enough to get the thing to fall out. What a PITA

How did you cut the bolt head off when it's inside the unibody...

Got my oil and filter changed. Replaced the switch on the drivers seat so I can adjust it and installed the parking brake strut that was missing on the RSR brake. Did a little shopping, DMIII for transmission and transfer case. 80W90 and friction modifier for differential. Another day and I should have fresh fluids in everything. I'm headed out to the back 40 now to see if I can get the leaf spring packs off of my ranger to put on the back of the XJ to get me through til spring.

Hmmm. Paid $25 for a friend at my Church to machine the Tubng. The rest was just flat bar and some Autozone control arm bushings. in total I probably ended up paying about $65 in parts alone not including labor. Lol. So if I sold em, I'd have to find a way to buy the parts cheaper. Because at the price I would sell em for, you might as well buy brown dogs. I couldn't find anyone in town who sold 2 1/4" ID tubing so I finally had to settle with machining a big piece of round stock. This is the third time people on the forum have wanted me to make and sell them something I made. Haha

But anyways, they are installed and now and I'm on the search for a solution to some vibrations since the new mounts are stiffer.

I got it out on my old Sport using an air hammer. Beat the bolt to hell, but it worked pretty quickly.
