    OME 1.5" install this weekend

    Probably just started spinning the piston shaft when it got somewhat tight, Im pretty sure that was my issue as well. Don't wait too long to check that.

    OME 1.5" install this weekend

    Make sure you got the front shock top nuts tightened to torque spec. Mine was making a clanging noise when I would hit a bump. I pulled the shock/spring back out and sure enough I had both sides too loose. Also make sure you torqued everything to spec with the full weight of the Jeep on the ground.

    A-arm Coil Contact

    Looks like the spacer between the arm and the knuckle is missing as well.

    Transfer case shot?

    I'm pretty sure I've blown up my TC, (NP 242 SelcTrac) but wanted some second opinions. Took it out this weekend and was running great, went through some mud holes and she went through like a champ. Last muddy patch I was climbing up out of and then 3 loud pops/bangs and no more front drive...

    Noise after lift

    Blew it back apart today. Sure enough, nut wasn't torqued to spec. It was allowing the dust cover to slap up and down against the lower washer when I hit a bump. Luckily had only driven it 20 miles or so before I caught it. Tightened It up using a crows foot and hex key this time. No more...

    Noise after lift

    Weird thing is, I tightened them to torque (30 ft lbs) or at least I thought I did. the dust cover is supposed to be snug at full droop, right? At any rate, gonna park it and pull it apart this weekend and check.

    Noise after lift

    Tightened everything to torque specs with the weight on it on the ground. Jacked the front up in the air so the suspension was at full sag and verified it was that. I took a screwdriver and was able to move the dust cover up and let it drop down, there was the jingle sound. I'm guessing I didn't...

    Noise after lift

    No the front. I'm talking about the 2 washers that come with the strut/shock. The instruction show to place one directly over the dust cover and the other goes on top of the stock mounting plate

    Noise after lift

    Just installed OME 3" lift. 927/948s, Bilstien shocks, JBA UCAs, JBA 1/4" top plate. Aligned perfectly, torque on all is in spec. When I hit a bump in the road, I can hear a slight jingle almost like tapping a tambourine. Parked it and started thumping with a rubber mallet and found when I tap...

    Looking for 17" wheel

    Need a Limited 17x7 (Oasis style?) wheel for my spare. The 6 spoke chrome clad that came on '05s and a couple other years I think. Doesn't have to be in perfect shape as I want to Plasti-Dip it anyway. Would like to stay under $100 if possible. Willing to drive 50-75 miles from Evansville, IN...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Most definitely will do them at them same time. No sense in tearing it apart twice. I've hit my allocated budget for now, so those and the rock rails are on my wish list. The Hula girl I think I can swing in a month or two.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    :gr_grin: Lockers, 4:10s, rock rails, maybe a little hula girl for the dashboard. The possibilities are ENDLESS! LOL

    Bumpstop mod?

    While installing my JBA UCAs and the Teraflex bumpstops, I wondered if a flush style zerk that you use a needle tip with would work instead of notching the Bumpstop. Anyone try this? Tried searching the forums for this but no luck.

    Got half (front) my OME lift on. Thank God for air tools

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Pounded down my pinch welds and some other prep work. Hoping to install my lift next weekend when I have more time.
