Don't think you're going to get too far trying to pound out a u-joint with one of your KM2's.

Yeah, cute. I meant to type "BFH" and did not catch that until just now. Ugh.

i just replaced my u joints the other night, kept hearing a tinny clinking noise, come to find out one of the 4 caps at the front joint was pure dust. threw in some cheap $8.99 joints from kragen. they look pretty decent though.

I'm up for wheeling when I get my motor mounts on. Anybody up for an Eagle Lakes trip soon?

 

[connor0770]

Where is Eagle Lakes??? Sounds fun to me! what type of wheeling is up there? are there minimum requirements?

 

[100K XJ]

I want to go to eagle lakes so bad, I'm up! (or down?)
Kehoe, not sure if i've seen you around, how do you know brandon?

This blog is getting too quiet, just thought i'd update it.
Last weekend I waxed the Jeep and finally put the passengers fender back on, heres some pics:

I love the shine:

Gotta fix the door ding next, but it still looks great in the sun:

 

[SeansXJ]

fix the door ding? are you not going to wheel it anymore?


maybe address your shackle angle?

 

[100K XJ]

Oh Im going to wheel it, I just figured why not fix it, it was the only thing that bugged me about the last pic.

I could, do I fix the angle with new shackles or what?

 

[SeansXJ]

you could grab some of these relocation brakets, they will give you 1.5" of lift.. you could swap your shackle with and MJ shackle and have the same stance out back. just an idea....

 

[tribal_4x4]

He has boomerang (probably spelt that wrong) shackles and there on backwards. There not kicking back out. I told him to flip them :dunno: but I agree on the shackle box.

 

[100K XJ]

So flipping them is the easiest way, but if I wanted to upgrade and go taller get the relocation brackets? Or just totally replace them with the MJ ones..which will just give me the desired angle or also give me lift?

 

[SeansXJ]

if you were to get the relocation brackets and use your boomerangs you would sit high in the rear, they give you about 1.25" of lift. so you will need to get a smaller shackle, mj? tnt? but smaller none the less.

What's going on with the GMB? Any updates to speak of? Did you wax my Jeep yet?

 

[SeansXJ]

It's funny how brave you get when you are out for the night. You know when you return I'm gonna have to beat you down, right?

Thanks for waxing the Frog. Looks good.
