Re: Project: The Silver Bullet
Rew said the same thing to me not to long ago after looking through the thread.
FYI, It is very hard to take pics of yourself working on your jeep.
But if proof is what you are looking for, this was this past Saturday night, getting a sway bar and sway bar disconnects on.
Had a few friends over Saturday drinking while I was doing this project, and since we were all in the garage, my wife took a few pics of the job.
SAM'nothing wrong with friends lending a hand'SET

Re: Project: The Silver Bullet
I have not been that concerned with pics of me. But if you are wanting to see more pics of me all dirty and gressy, working hard and sweating on my jeep, I will make sure you get those. I just didn't know you played on that side of the fence
Side note: Here is a couple more pics of me not working on my jeep.
Guys at work welding the rear sway bar brackets to the floor, for my shocks.

Re: Project: The Silver Bullet
Got a bracket for the steering stabilizer welded up on the left side, to get it out of the way of all that steering it was hitting.
Mounted it up and drove it home. Very happy with the smooth ride after this and the sway bar.
The bracket is half of a explorer door hinge, crazy the perfect shit you find laying on the floor of a body shop

Re: Project: The Silver Bullet
it is very nice, i will admit. the only downfall would be that every thing you do has to be a finishable project. shop closes at 5pm and your shit better be off that rack by then.
i wrench in my garage when its a little warmer out, mostly because i enjoy wrenching with some buddies and beers. cant really do that at work.

Re: Project: The Silver Bullet
i was waiting until i got some more work done, but since rew bumped the thread, here is the latest jobs
picked up a set of rough country control arm drop brackets to improve the ride a little bit. aside from those damn bolts that are a bitch to get in and out of their holes, everything went on smooth
thought all was good but now my sway bar links are hitting my coils.
i think that may be an easy fix, there is a little spacer on them that i am hoping if i pull off they will line up ok.
added some euro horsepower by spraying my lights black
was cleaning up the frame rails and snapped this shot for the no believers
i got it all cleaned up, but i have no welding skill and want this done before WF and guys at work are super busy, so i think i am going to have to find someone to help me out here.
started the cut and fold rear bumper. as you can see in this pic, i am using the tail gate strut that is not installed yet to prop up the gate...:jester:
of coarse that didnt get finished. something went wrong with the cutter and i just stopped before i hurt myself.
so i finally put on the tail gate struts
yay! vice grips can go back in the tool box

Re: Project: The Silver Bullet
did you have to cut some off the little box under the tail lights to get the hatch to shut? Since it came off a 93, the tail lights were wider...never thought about that.
