Stay up late. Have a buddy help you.
Wiring can be done before the guards even arrive.
You'll be good to go.:thumbup:

Just gotta know which wires to attach the wire taps to!

Wire taps?

Cut, crip-splice (solder if you like), and shrink wrap.
Do, one bulb at a time. Nothing to it.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

true that fool, cut/splice and install new flasher and your good to go...ask me how I know

 

[REWSTER]

i might be taking a trip out to JCR that fri night to get some sliders, but they will have to stay off for this run

 

[philagony94xj]

A friend of mine is going up there to pick up a set of sliders IF he decides to order them. Maybe somehow someone could pick up both sets if they're done to save driving and shipping costs. Just thinkin'.

is just as easy as attach the power of the tail light to the power wire of the LED, the flasher power light to the power wire from the LED, ground both?

i guess i'm asking how do i wire these up lol

Well nevermind. He decided that there are a few more things he should spend the money on than sliders at the moment. He will still order them, just not before next Friday.

 

[REWSTER]

ok, let me know if that changes

my wife thinks there is better things to spend my money on also, just not jeep stuff

I'm ready to go...the baby jeep is slowly coming together...

have a steering box to swap and need to reset my rear end due to a detroit that was swapped in without setting the gears up right last year...but that will be taken care of Wednesday morning...if i can get the damn tie rod off the pitman arm i'll have the steering box swapped in no time...but I'm fighting with that...

mac 'slowly but shirely its wearing me out' gyvr

I don't know, it seems like it has come together pretty quickly from cyberspace, lol. I know it's not advisable, but I like to use my 4 lb multi-tool on tie rods...I'm just real careful. Do you plan on getting an alignment after messing with the steering? I guess close enough is good enough if you're trailering. I want to put my zj tie rod on, but really don't want to spend the $60 on an alignment and 2 hours waiting for it at the shop.

Set the toe with a tape measure and call it good.

Alignment isn't that bad to do, there is plenty of info on these forums if you wanted to attempt it yourself.
I dont know how a zj tierod affects the process tho...

 

[hubs97xj]

Check out GoJeep's driveway alignment- shop alignment on an XJ is a complete rip.

I dinked the toe in installing the ZJ TREs, had it fixed in a few minutes with one wrench, a buddy, and a tape measure.

Looks like there's a consensus, thanks guys! That GoJeep write-up is good. I'm going to give it a go.
