Slapped some stickers on now that winter is technically over

I have a full gage cluster in my basement from @Phil green junk. Was in a 94XJ. if you swapped wiring to HO, should work. Let me know if you need it, and I can get it in the mail.

I tried another 94 cluster I had and temp gauge still wouldn’t read. Still haven’t found the problem.

I did finally get my tires mounted on my jk Willy’s wheels and put them on. I definitely like the look more and I’m sure my wheel bearings appreciate less offset too lol.

After the new wheels I adjusted my alignment only to get terrible deathwobble. It was down for a couple weeks until I could replace parts.
I ended up replacing all the balljoints, axle shafts with cv style, and v8 zj tierod upgrade.
found out most of my hub bolts were junk, had to weld nuts to two of them, so I replaced those as well.

Current list of things I need to do:
Figure out my temp gauge problem
Repair the passenger side rocker and cab corner
Replace my trac bar tierod end or change the whole trac bar entirely
While I’m doing that I will add a small coil spacer to level out the truck some.
Im still running a xj rear driveshaft, it’s about 2” shorter than I’d like, so I need to get a proper length driveshaft built or modified.
