Leaning towards the blue. The bronze one you can barely tell I painted it.
This color I did not try but thinking about it.

So Yesterday I adjusted the caster, beefed up the sway bar links, and added a steering stabilizer. No more death wobble. I took it down the highway at 70 mph and it does just fine. Still pretty soft ride in the rear but not too bad. Took the family cruisin put about 160 miles on the Merc around town.

Is it better to take a steering stabilizer to the drag link, or tie rod? I need to add one to my jeep and Im trying to figure out what I should do

I like it on the drag link cause it keeps up out of the way. Other then that not sure it matters.

So Mike and I were at the shop putting the finishing touches on 8.8 4.56 Detroit locker axle swap into a XJ and front regear when couple guys walked up to the back door. I went over to see what they needed, and they sheepishly asked if I could give them a hand they were stuck in the field next to the shop. I said sure I can winch you out. So took the Merc over and there it was a full size Chevy sitting in the goo to my delight (being a Ford guy). Merc pulled him right out. And then he took my number said he wanted to get some bumpers made. LOL
First test for the 10k lbs Superwinch did good. You could barely see the top of the guys 35 inch tires.

Got a question for you. Thats a aftermarket diff cover right? Did you put bends in your tie rod on the ends to clear the diff or did you just go straight across all the way? You dont have any problems hitting the diff? What size DOM are you using?

No bends it does hit the clover slightly. No biggie though. The tube is .250 wall 1.5 DOM. Then the Heims are 45k load capacity. I have used the tie rod to jack the whole front up it will bow but comes right back to normal after I let it come back down. Pretty awesome stuff.
