Re: New rig

Overall how hard was the rear disc swap?

If I didn't strip the retaining bolt it would have took me 4 hours total with the most time grinding the center of the backing plate out. And sealing back up the diff cover.. as hard as a brake job I would rate it

Cool, sounds pretty simple then. Just don't strip the hardware.

Re: New rig

Went to pick n Pull looking for this jeep and i found it!

It had just about everything i needed on one vehicle..

Here is the difference in older style XJs and newer style xj E fans upgrade!

Also got the front skid which i wasnt planning on grabbing but for 15 bucks why not.. Newer style side mirrors, a roof cross bar, and a sun visor with a mirror..

Had to search for a 3rd brake light and center console


While searching i found these guys

The haul

Got everything installed

Re: New rig

Picked this up today from Rob707 3 inch zone offroad coils and leafs. JKS trackbar mounted to a stock Trackbar bracket, and a sway bar with fresh bushings.. The lift is only a year old i dont think it had very many miles ran on the lift all the bushing look brand new.

i also hooked up a Sub and 2 new speakers for the sound bar..

And added a kill switch.. Some Cheap insurance.

Re: New rig

Paid 450 for some JK rims and tires

Good thing I have a 3 inch lift

Re: New rig

Last drive stock to the parts store...

New coils

Quick little bend

I messed up.... my bumpstops are to big and when I dropped the rig off the jackstands it's ridding on the bumps. Gotta take the coils out and cut the bump stops.

It's taller then I expected
