Got the 97 all packed up for a trip to nashville this weekend, pics to come after work. Who knows anything about a jeep hatch tent? Got one for free and it's gonna be my home till Monday night
yea, normally,mi definitely would. But the studs were surprisingly undamaged. I was literally able tighten the lug nuts by hand, and no they weren't stripped. Lol, and obviously I used lug wrench to torque them once hand tight.
I would still replace them. My dads mountaineer was loose from a crappy shop and I caught it before the wheel came off and went to tighten them and a couple studs snapped off just from tightening them down.
Put in a bored throttle body today thanks to chipmaker. Idles better and feels better driving. Some improvement from being clean and some from being bored
Added 2 inch lift and coil isolators. Used a compressor from AutoZone and ratchet wrench and socket. Took forever, but they are in and I didn't kill myself. Tried using an impact wrench to compress the coils, but it made them unbalanced. Was able to use the impact wrench to partially decompress one side.
But a real pain to install , seems pads are a little longer and so thick I couldn't use the shims . So far no noise , but might run them for a week and then try to put in shims . I really don't think the shims are needed as long as they stay noise free .
