If either side is to be off, shoot for the drivers side to be a little higher to compensate for when your bucket is in the drivers seat. Driving closer to level down the street makes more sense than when it's sitting in the driveway.

Would love for the driver's side to be higher. But "driver-side-low" is the typical KJ stance. Unless I install a 3/8" top plate on the driver's side that's the way she's gonna sit.

Just went out and remeasured since the figures above were before I got the alignment - it's actually sitting at 22.75 driver side and 23.00 on the passenger side. Rear is 22.5 both sides. Right where I want it! :driver:

Mighty sharp looking, especially for that many years on it! :cheers:

I think so. They must have went thru the car wash a lot since it is black. Looks like it has had all the services done. None of the fluids were dirty and even the transfer case fluid was still red.

Finally got the jeep back from the garage after a motor swap amongst other things. Couldn't be more excited. Soon I'm doing new u joints and today I'm doing brakes. But couldn't be more excited to be able to drive it again.

Mounted the extra Gunvault safe I had taking up space in the big safe. Not necessarily for firearms, but anything I wanted locked up extra-tight.

Fabbed 2 vertical pieces of 1.5" flat-bar, using the 2 bolts on either side of the window latch and screwed in at the bottom of the door with sheet metal screws. Then I welded a 16 gauge steel plate to the flat-bar, drilled the holes, and mounted it up. You would have to jump on it or hit it with a sledge hammer to get it off.

Then I wired it over to the 12v socket, so now, no more batteries.

New belt new tensioner new tri-link, then took it out beat a creak up and broke the right rear taillight and took out the back up camera. 3 steps forward 2 steps back. The list never goes away just keeps changing. Why do I so much enjoy this I really do. It's a Jeep thing how bad do you got it and It's not what did you do to your Jeep today but what did you do with you Jeep today.

built a rear cargo shelf for it to keep things safe and out of sight, (no more having to tuck everything in with a cargo blanket). next will be a platform/shelf to sit on the floor so that a 46" case can sit in the back of the jeep
