What did you do to your XJ today

[BigDog]

Nice Nick

 

[nightfoam]

Broke spikeypuck's caulking gun trying to reattach my gutters (don't know if it worked yet)
Started on installing my ARB compressor but stopped after discovering the mounting bolts I have aren't long enough.
Also discovered a broken u-joint.
Wondered if my bike tires are still filled with air.

 

[dellstopjeep]

Mounted and wired jcr's

Bought all this for 10 bucks at garage sale. Cj7 grill is brand new!

 

[BigDog]

Nice garage sale scores man.

 

[90xjblue]

Replaced a blown shock(Rough country ROCKS sent me a brand new one free) and started it for 20 mins, poor neglected jeep=[

 

[spikeypuck]

She got a little taller. I'll just say that it averages 5" now:spin1:

 

[BigDog]

Right on man, I know your happy about that.

7" in the front 3" in the back?

 

[spikeypuck]

7" in the front 3" in the back?

Lol, not quite that bad. The drivers side is sitting even at 5 1/2" the passenger side front is 4 3/4 and the rear is 5 7/8.

I used 1 3/4 spacers in the front, and I found the brake is in the coil spring.

I used shackles in the rear and couldn't find the brake yet. I am hoping it sags a little and evens out. Since I didn't mess with the leafs I doubt that will happen.

I cant believe if got you home still. Did you have to pull front driveline?

 

[CASEY-R]

Made some sway bar disconnects.
The little heim joints I had from my aircraft maintenance days.
Still need to buy some bigger pins for the bottom mount and
figure out how to get the bushing end to slide off without undoint the top end.

 

[Hickboii]

Installed the lift RE3.5 and got my new bumpers put on.

If all goes well (and fast) I am ! Dropped it off this afternoon with a guy to install gears. He says he should be able to do it in time. Its side work for him, but he knows my deadline.... D30 ring n pinion shouldnt be to hard to track down. Just hoping the carrier is still good.

:wow:

[redrider2911]

Capped off the back bumper and turned it into a 4 gallon air tank. Modded the ac pump to OBA including an auto oiler, oil water seperator, and 150 PSI pressure switch

 

[crazymoose1990]
