They are getting popular. Ive started seeing XJs in tv shows and commercials. Same thing happened to the waggy market like 10 15 years ago. When I bought my 1st waggy you could find rust free or relatively rust free running waggys for 4500. Now people want 3 to 4 times that much. Clean...

He came and got it on Monday. Its not back yet. He ordered all new bushings and joints and anything else that got worn funny due to the install. They should be in next week sometime.

Thanks so far so good. She got sent to John's Hopkins in Baltimore to one of the top pancreatic Cancer docs in the country. So we have a plan and are working through it.

Thats one things that odd to me. Like this shop has been around for a few years. All the local forums have great things to say about them so its definitely not a representation of their normal work or they wouldn't be around anymore 3 other really good shops are within a 20 min drive. So I...

Ok spoke to the owner today. He is coming to pick up the jeep at my house. They are going to go back over everything replace and fix it all. Throw on a new set of tires of my choice have it all aligned and ready to go. Throwing in a new winch and then bring it back to me. If im not...

Yeah, the track bar was egged out. I ended up drilling it out to a larger diameter and put a bigger bolt in to tighten it up.

Thanks all. My wife is a fighter and taking things like a champ. She has her next round of chemo on Weds. Then she goes back for a new MRI and we hope it didn't spread. I did call the shop and spoke to the owner he was very apologetic and took full responsibility for not checking the work...

For anyone not wanting to read all that I want to know if there is a way to purposely cause death wobble. So i can see if I fixed the issue or not. Short of driving down the highway waiting for it to happen. Id like to take the kids in the jeep but not until I know i fixed the issue.

A few months ago I purchased a Rustys long arm kit. Once I received the kit my family received news my wife has pancreatic cancer. So instead of installing the lift myself (which honestly I wasnt that comfortable with anyway but I was going to give it a try) and now with this news I decided...

Never really thought about until now but no. Im it.

Friend of mine has one he was talking about selling just yesterday. I'll ask him about it if you are still looking

Congrats I walked away last year at 19 years in. Best move I ever made. I got a cushy civilian job, nights, Holidays, weekends off, better pay, better benefits, nobody trying to fight me, spit in my food, shoot me.....I miss my co-workers but thats it. I thought Id miss the job but I dont.

Its got an engine again. Should be driving under its own power again by this weekend.

Sold my wife's old minivan and ordered a new engine for the XJ.

Wow I just spend 3 hours reading this entire thing. All because of a search on frame stiffeners and down the rabbit hole I went. Great work.
