Hey guys i been gone a while. Baby kept me busy got married. Life has been crazy. You all may or may not remember i was having ****** problems. The type of ****** problems you have with your jeep not people. It hasnt gotten worse and almost seens better. I was debating selling her off and getting a newer to me jeep. Things happen and in my budget it wasnt happening. So i busted the recline lever on my driver seat any suggestions. I want to get my suspension overhauled she is kinda bouncy and every bump or pot hole kills. So i have a tight budget. From what i remember ome is the way to go but ironman was a bit cheaper but i cant find them anywhere. So is ironman still available? Whats a cheaper way to do ome mix in some bilstein shocks with ome springs?

You were gone? I didn't notice! :happy175:
Just kidding, good to see you back here. Congrats on the baby, condolences on getting married, lol
About a month ago, I snapped off my recline lever too. Metal shaft sheared clean off, guess my ars was putting too much weight on the lever while sliding outta the seat. Seat back is now in a fixed position, luckily there's no need for me to move it.

there's a member in Pennsylvania selling his jeep. maybe you can get it for the ******.
I am not worrying about the trans my lil brother met a guy that will drop in a used one with a three year warranty for next to nothin. I am focused on everything else squeaks and bounces. My list for the weekend is clean the throttle body brakes and oil change. Past that focus on suspension ball joints spring and shocks. What do bad ball joints look like gone cracked mangled. Mine are there but probably old.
Same thing the lever with some metal shaft came off. No idea why i do adjust my seat a bit. I have a long commute. I am also pretty thin so i dont think shear weight had anything to do with your cactus.
Nice to see your still kickin around. How have you been? Ever put those hooks to good use?

Thanks.
my e-fan issue came back not long ago. still keeping my eye on it.
A/C seems fine. Still doesn't cool well when jeep is idle.
I'm going to put LED flood lights on some brackets who mason from ironforge sells. It is installed with the roof rack mounts. I'll also be getting a hitch brake light.
All of it will be wired to the trailer wiring. Trying to figure out a way to have this hitch light as a brake light normally and also a fog light when needed.
got to figure out some spots on the body of the jeep on the other side of the D pillar. the jeep was vandalized a while ago when my wife first had the jeep. she never bothered to get the body work done. fortunately it's AZ so it's just surface rust on the body.

Nice you will be all lit up. I want to get more interior lights going for the back seat. Shouldnt be too hard figure i can daisy off the rear dome. Havnt put much thought into that yet wife will be upset if i start spending my budget on stuff that isnt neccesary. I want to make the ride better and safer first. Then i can do little things i want.
I actually did the same thing on my passenger seat. Luckily I went to a junk yard that allows you to pull any part and the whole lever shaft is an assembly. Very hard to get a socket and wrench behind the seat cover but it's doable. Two 10mm bolts on the side and I think 2 on the bottom of the seat. Glad you're back!

Nice to have you back. Congrats on the growing family. 
Nice right in my wheel house doesn't look hard at all. Its for the wife more than anything she likes to sit in the back with the baby. Then she drops something and is freaking out cause there is no light back there.
Nice to have you back. Congrats on the growing family.

So i am building my cart for my suspension overhaul i have the 2927 front springs 2 948 rear springs and the bilstein 24-139168 front sings. Is this all correct? What shocks do i use for the rear? What else should i be looking for isos hockey pucks anything else i don't plan i doing a clevis or top plate unless i will need it to level the front. Suggestions? Rev? Is he still around?
