so saturday a few friends came over and we pulled the rear axle again to replace the center pin on the springs with new one that had my 2.5 deg angle shim. then we changed out the shackle for some 2 inch longer ones and that help lvl out the jeep. still a bit nose up though. while the axle was out i adjusted the locker cable and sealed the cover to the housing.

today keaton came over to pick up my stock parts and drop off his nice durango bumper.

Glad to see its goin to good use. :patriot:
 
thanks man thats going on next. got the skid atached. for the most part.
 
Installed my tank skid. Pretty much fit besides I had to weld a stud on for my exhaust hanger and hog out one mounting hole. Pisses me off because I cant use my receiver which has my disconnect mud flap brackets welded on so I guess its time to either cut off the old or fab up another set.....lame On the plus side I convinced the wife I need a new bumper because I cant use my old receiver :clap:

Very nice man. Did you remove the factory plastic skid? Got any picts of your mudflap disco?
 
Tacked-in control arm drop bracket braces, replaced uca bushings, installed adjustable lcas.

Joey, The JCR is not compatable with the OEM hitch?

Yeah, on the 96 and older XJ's they dont fit. From what I hear factory receivers fit. The problem isnt too wide but the skid sticks too far back so you cant mount the receiver. :callme:Hello, yeah I need to order a rear bumper for my XJ with a 2" receiver built into it, oh ok.
 
Contacted Rusty's Off Road regarding jam nuts for their adjustable lower control arms; $26.00 + $27.03 shipping. After a near-death experience laughing, I bought a 1.25"x5 acme thread nut 1.75" long for $10.97, and cut it laterally into 2 pieces. Shuhzahm! Saved $42.06 and got a pair of nuts (snicker).
