Finally starting to work on the rig. Winter has kept us inside.

 

Installed some LED lights inside the OE rear bumper. Drilling and cutting the holes wasn't much fun but it keeps the lights up and tucked inside the bumper where they are fairly well protected. Put them on there own switch with relay and added a little buzzer so I don't accidental turn them on and leave them on.

 

Rides great. So much better than before. I had about an inch travel in the rear before it hit the bump stops. New tires soon then I get in the dirt. Can’t wait!

 

I've had the same shocks on my Jeep for 4 years now and they still feel great, no complaints. I bought new ones with more travel, was bottoming out the current ones on my Jeep.

 

That's a TJ cluster, isnt it?

 

Gotcha. I've never heard of them. I don't get out much...

j/k

 

Not even mine but probably.

 

Got the shocks mounted. New vs old. Still plenty of life in the old ones that's for sure.

 

Those built in bump stops?

 

Yup. They work well too.

 

Just checked over my front end. Johnny joint on the axle side of the upper control arm is toast, all of the heims in the steering have play, but the drag link heims are trashed completely, and I can't tell if there is more play from the frame side upper Johnny too so I'll just buy a rebuild kit for it too. Yay

 

And sometimes, creeks.

 

I dunno what it is, but it almost seems like there's something missing in that picture.

Just can't put my finger on it....

 

Probably can't since it's missing

 

Rolled the Jeep....












Over quarter of a million miles . That is.



Happened while I was driving over to a friend's to have my axles regeared
