That jeep is badass! I'm betting it's euro spec. It has the fenders and tail lights.

I always take an old ubolt to the local spring shop and they bend me up new ones...

They did ubolts for the F350 when I added the traction bars...

i wouldn't do it with 3"....im at 4.5" and because of the LCA and UCA's i have my axle is tilted too far forward and my caster is all f-ed up. i could just use stock ca's but i had these already. i need new control arms anyway so i am either going to get shorter ones or just get a long arm upgrade. im probably looking at $400 for new arms and i can sell my brackets for $100...makes sense in my head to just upgrade. at 3" even the stock arms are going to be too long and it will push your axle out in front and possible screw your caster too. mine rides better than it did with no drop brackets, but the bump steer is pretty bad. my wife wont drive it currently because of the steering

That's the plan

But you had arms that were the correct length for a 4.5" lift, my Stock arms aren't correct for a 3". I think it will be close, worst case I have to add a 1" spacer.

I think you will need the spacer...from what I've seen the guys who have 4-4.5" of lift wind up sitting just right with stock control arms and drop brackets. What's wrong with another 1" of lift

not much at that point.

Here's another one, does anybody have or know were a guy can find the clips that go on the connectors for the ac Condensor? Didn't put them on with the new condensor and blew a line off after filling it.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

I think I have some of those clips K.


98 xj, runs great for about 5 minutes and then dies. Catalytic converter?

Let me know if you do, Kodin doesn't like this hot weather at all. If possible maybe you can throw them in an envelope and send them to me.

Do you need condenser end or body end?

Fuel filter?

Does it run for 5 minutes from cold to hot or 5 minutes anytime? Sounds like something when the computer switches when the engine is warm.

What did you wind up doing for o2 sensors? Did you use the 98 style manifold and wire the sensors differently? If so, that's where I would start
