Well I picked up the liberty. Found out that the radiator has a slight leak so I talked him down to $800. Can't beat that for a cheap dd

Put a thrush rattler on my 06 and love the sound. I've had a thrush welded, flow super 44 and glass pack and the rattler sounds Much better than any of those and was cheap ($38).its deep and has a nice growl but no noticeable drone

Doesn't sound to bad. Pretty much would be a simple disassembly and removal of parts. While its apart I may as well replace the front strut assemblies and be good to go. I would just have a 2wd with 2 wheel low option lol

I know this is about as backward of a thought as you get around here but hear me out. Found an 06 kj here locally just like the one that I have now for cheap. Its a little battered and bruised but still runs great. It needs CV shafts in the front and the front diff is cracked. The guy is only...

I have the BDS kit on my 06 with clevis and top plates on the front plus an extra set of iso's on the rear. I've had the kit for a little over a year now and have had no complaints. In a years time I've only settled 1/8"-1/4" depending on which corner I measure and the ride is still better than...

Finally got rid of the 245 master crafts and bumped up a bit more on tire size. Picked up some 265 mickey Thompson Baja stz's and 16x8 black rock Lobo rims. Jeep is sitting on a BDS suspension lift with an extra set of iso's in the rear and BDS coils, bilstein shocks, jba top plates and a clevis...

No big bumps at all. I still can't get over how well the new tires do though.

This is with that BDS lift I picked up cheap. I've been driving about the last 2 weeks on stock suspension with my new tires and it has been interesting. Had maybe a credit card thickness of clearance on my front bumper.

Ended up not using the top plates. Currently sitting at 22.625" up front. Gonna tackle the rear suspension in the morning. Passenger side was a cake walk compared to the driver side.

Single spacer on each side from jba. Plus 3/8" on clevis. I got the drivers side done now starting on passenger side. All tore down now time for a quick bite to eat then install the new strut on the passenger side. Drivers side for some reason was rust city and nothing wanted to come apart...

OK got that done. Physically could not get it to go even with 2 ratchet straps when I had my top plate spacers in, took the spacers off and finally got it. Now for my next issue. What is the best way of going about reconnecting the upper ball joint? My instructions show use the floor jack and...

Still not even close

OK. Taking a break for a minute while installing my lift. So far besides from snapping off the strut fork bolt everything has come apart easy. Issue I'm having now is getting the new strut bolted up. Got my top bolts started and the clevis on but cannot get the clevis high enough to get the fork...

Still haven't got around to putting the lift on. Had a wonderful issue with a septic tank so my whole weekend was pretty crappy to say the least lol. Did end up getting my new tires put on and luckily under normal driving and having pounded pinch welds the 245/75's do not rub any whatsoever. Now...

Anybody know off hand what size sockets and wrenches I will need for installing a lift? My keys for my toolbox are at work and I really don't want to drive and hour and a half one way just for a key so I'm gonna run to auto zone and pick up a few sockets and wrenches to get everything apart...
