OME 1.5" install this weekend
On the highway the handling and ride is pretty similar (coil-over IFS in the front, solid live axle in the rear). The WK is a bit heavier, but the V8 and bigger brakes more than make up for that. Most of the driving my wife does is around town, and with the full-time 4wd she gets about 13 mpg...- 80Flareside

OME 1.5" install this weekend
Took the coil-overs out this past Saturday, and brought them to a shop and had them tightened up, all noises are gone. On another note, today is my daughter's 4th b-day, and here is what my parents and in-laws helped us get for her.....- 80Flareside

OME 1.5" install this weekend
Id love to. I have land we go camping on in Southern VT every-other weekend or so and just ordered the VT Gazetteer to start exploring some of the Class IV roads in Windham County. Future plans include tow hooks, full skids and a TrueTrac in the rear, so nothing too crazy until then.- 80Flareside

OME 1.5" install this weekend
Duly noted. That also means I will need new inner and outer tie rods. The alignment shop pretty much promised they were a one shot deal due to corrosion.- 80Flareside

OME 1.5" install this weekend
The piston shafts on the ome shock took a 1/4" open end wrench, so I was able to turn the nut against that, but im not sure I could get enough torque against that little wrench. On another note, my front measure was 22" when I got home tonight, so I've settled and inch already.- 80Flareside

OME 1.5" install this weekend
The one thing I didnt put the torque wrench on was the nut on top of the strut only because I dont have an 11/16 crows foot. I got it as tight as I could with the box wrench, but if it keeps making noise I will pull them out and check.- 80Flareside

OME 1.5" install this weekend
I bought the OME 1.5" springs (927 / 948) and shocks and UCA's from JBA a few months ago, along with some Mickey Thompson Baja STZ's in 245/75-R16, and finally got around to installing them over the last couple of days. I live in CT, and with the new liquid calcium chloride they salt the...- 80Flareside

Rock Lizard Fabrication
Has anyone ever bought anything from them lately? I am pretty interested in their full length roof rack and interior rack, but that's a lot of money to put out with no confidence I will be getting something in return. Interestingly, they also sell front and rear tube doors for the KJ for $775.- 80Flareside
