I got one for y'all - bought the JB Offroad coil over set with the Silver lift package (that they stopped selling in '19), now I *need* to change the shocks out of the front after bouncing a curb on an icy turn. The shock snapped off right at the collar that the lower part of the travel arm...

4 cylinder KJ Diff set, right? Do the Wranglers/Cherokee's/et al have the same boomerang/tri-link setup? Seriously - can't find that stuff anywhere I've looked around here. They get yanked and sold cuz folks appear to know their value to the large Jeep crowd here. Now, I'll grant you...

Thx. I can't find a 4.10 anywhere for less than $1400. They seem to be off the U-Pulls as soon as they settle off the wrecker in the lot. Got a guy at work who loves to do massive 4x4 mods and he's like "it's simple". I was thinking "maybe for you". Not sure my 4 link would bolt up and that...

How big of a PITA is it to change out diff gears? Probably not a job for the newbie, I'm guessing.

:happy175::happy175::happy175: :winner_third_h4h:

ah.... busy summer. One of these days I'll update my journal here. I did get to replace my radiator yesterday. Only changed out the bottom hose though. Figured the top one would be easy enough to get to and see signs of failure. Screw those crimp clamps - I went with regular hose clamps...

Ouch. Broken humerus is NOT funny. Hope it sets right, quick with a fast recovery.

U-Pull on 66th or the one in Aurora? I need some rear seat head cushions- didn't have 'em when I bought it.

Yeah - the price was too good to pass up. Then the next day my son went to the orthodontist... if it'd been 2 days sooner, I would have passed it up. Now I get to buy braces too :insane: I need to mod up a set of crossbars on the luggage rack. I'll have to modify the DIY hack listed on the...

Yesterday I went out and bought a roof top tent - got it for more than 50% off on crackslist. Ended up buying it from a guy from my home town back in MN who was in my youngest brother's class and related to my step father. He's now out here in CO. Small World. Got the pictures ready to post...

For 3", would you stay with the 12" travel or drop to 10"? I'm going to eventually have to change shocks...

I have the 4 Link. I think I have over-corrected the down angle. Have been doing research now and think I know enough to get it worked out. I don't know how folks did this before the internet. Not having this info at your fingertips would be a big bag of suck.

Got my magnetic protractor. Looks like I'm going to take pictures on setting the pinion angle... more Journal fodder :happy175: :insane::grd:

Brought it in to have the transmission checked - thought I read on the Carfax that the transmission had been flushed/filter changed before, but the shop told me that it's the original (150k mile) fluid. Glad I had it checked before I just dropped the pan and changed the filter. Got a Vib 45-50...

Oh - and save those packing cushions! Great head rest or to put down before you drop your body onto the potential pain points in the engine bay.

OK. The Triangulated 4 Link. Basically - Follow Tommudd's instructions . The one thing I'd add to that is that the Tri-Link nut that attaches the UCA balljoint is an 18mm. I should have taken more pictures. For some reason though, when I'm wrenching, taking pictures is the last thing on...

Yep. That's been my experience - fixing one thing uncovers something else. Rinse. Repeat.

So... I have to try to list all of this while I can still remember it. What I've done to it so far: Front: JBA Upper UCA's LBJ's JBA Coilovers CV Joints - both sides Drive Shaft Rear: Drive Shaft JBA Springs JBA Total Control Shocks JBA 4Link MOOG Problem Solver LCA's 3 Isolators (added 2 to...

Thx for the compliments fellas - they're words of encouragement!

I hear ya. They're more "Metal" than "Mudder" and that was kind of the point for those. The rims are light and the tires are more focused to the 95% smooth highway/city I drive. I have a set of OEM rims that I plan to outfit for 'wheelin. Probably going to mimic the Prof and PlastiDip - the...
