I like it
Spent the weekend overhauling the front end in my DD red jeep. Pulled the whole 30 out, fabbed up new LCA and TB mounts on it since the stock sheetmetal ones were trashed and ripping off. Boxed in the UCA mount and coil buckets too. Found out my upper ball joints were loose too, replaced all 4 BJ's. Popped new UCA bushings in too. Installed some RE superflex UCA's, had to torch out one of the stock arms that was frozen in place. Changed over to a JKS trackbar, changed thier setup a little bit on the frameside Johnny Joint. I swapped out the modded center ball with a 9/16 bolt and the taper cone to an uncut center ball with a 5/b bolt. Drilled the stock frame TB mount out to 5/8 to match. Installed as new Crown HD steering setup too, new draglink and a ZJ V8 tierod. The front end feels much more solid now, I still wanna get some nice Bilsteins in there too someday.
I forgot what it was like taking on a big project and not having a backup jeep. Busted my ass more then I wanted to both days so I could have everything done and the jeep ready to drive to work tomorrow morning.
