Just checked the gap on all my plugs. Was going to do more today but it is a little chilly still and the wind was blowing pretty good. See what I can get done tomorrow.
Took my XJ wheeling for the first time since i got, was super nervous the whole time. Trail wasn't super complicated, just tight trees and steep inclines.
Where did you get yours? I'm trying to use some on my lower control arm mounts and they keep shattering.
These ones are from Matco. Had them for years and they are still super sharp. A cheaper better route to go is from Blair, the holcutter (order from tool topia). I have them for my bigger kit up to 2.5" and they work the same, just cheaper.

Glad you agree. Made it way too easy.

Yep center punch first. Somehow both my spring loaded punches are missing. Had to use a punch and hammer which sucked.
Edit - just noticed that was towards Hen, not me. Center punch is 100% needed.

Congrats on getting her out. You'll get more relaxed and comfortable wheeling with time. Lol, or once you get a few good gnarly scratches on it.
It's so SHINY.
Wheeled mine a bit today too. She's not shiny, not at all, lol.
Shackle relocation brackets are in. Now it only sits 1/2" higher in the rear (was 2" before). Still waiting on the new shackles to come in. Then everything will be good. Shackle angle is good for now. About 30°. A lot better then 95°
