    Lift help asap. Shipped wrong rear shocks maybe

    Here are some pics of the during and final (sort of) product. I got the proper shocks in for the rear, waiting on the springs. For now, there are OME 947s on the rear and stock shocks. Front is all ironman. I LOVE IT. Ride is amazing compared to stock. Anyone considering whether the ~900 is...

    Lift help asap. Shipped wrong rear shocks maybe

    Got everything squared away.. Thank you all for all the help. The passenger side took about 2 hours since it was just me, and I have never done this sorta thing before. The driver's side took maybe a half hour. I didn't even take the caliper off the driver's side. I don't think it is necessary...

    Lift help asap. Shipped wrong rear shocks maybe

    Thanks for the tip, got the fork on. I cheated and took off the nut for the lower ball joint. But on reassembly, the bolt spins with the nut on it. I am thinkin new ball joints ? Correction.. Both upper and lower ball joint bolts are spinning and I tighten nuts.

    Lift help asap. Shipped wrong rear shocks maybe

    I dont have skids, but I chose to attach the ratchet to holes in the frame. Works pretty well. How low can the cv droop before it gets disconnected from the diff? And can i remove the lca ball joint attached to the cv in order to get the fork in? Or will that mess anything up?

    Lift help asap. Shipped wrong rear shocks maybe

    I am sitting here in the garage on base thinking I was going to install my lift today. Turns out I think jba sent me two sets of front shocks no rear. And, I received 947s instead of 948s since the ironman rear springs were out of stock. I am fuming pretty bad right about now. Wondering if...

    Cold temps snapped something shifting into 4

    Last week we had temps drop to around negative 50 and stay there all week. Because of the snow, I went to shift from 2wd to 4wd and when I did, I heard a snap, and the shift lever is now like a limp d***.. I can move it freely from 2 to 4lo without anything happening. I looked under the body and...

    I rolled my kj!

    My first jeep was a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited. I saved most of the summer and drooled over every jeep I saw until I found this beauty. I was in love to say the least. I will always remember it... I had the thing for 10 solid days. Then I rolled it off an embankment into a marsh. Totaled it. I...

    Was wondering why my feet were wet this morning..

    When I got stationed out here in Montana, I noticed how much different it is without salt on the roads. It isn't that bad to drive in actually! This thread reminds me.. I have yet to clean out the interior. I feel like I am in for a real treat :dancingpoop: :shakehead:

    Swap Turn signals for dog lights?

    I mounted LEDs from harrison lights online, in the place of my fogs. I have an 06 limited. I cut the clear part of the fog housing plastic out, and mounted the LEDs in there, and covered the lights with the the cover that you can get with them when you order. This is temporary until I do some...

    Hey all! I have been completely absorbed in my new yj project, the kj has been getting tossed on the backburner.. However, I just found a deal that seems pretty damn good and hard to pass up.

    Swap Turn signals for dog lights?

    Okay I had some difficulty today trying to rig up the lights. The new lights have a black and white wire. White is ground, black is power. Easy. But the wires that go to the lights on the kj are white, black, and red. I assume black is power, white is ground, red is signal? Because red only goes...
