Today I took it back to the shop to get an alignment and balance the tires. He found one had a broken belt. He put that one in the rear and it feels so much better but I still get the death wobble.

Still working on getting this deathwobble problem resolved. Yesterday I replaced the tie rod ends on the drag link and was going to replace the one on the passenger side tie rod as it had a little play in it but I can't get it out to save my life. I screwed it in to where it was and am getting...

Okay so even after replacing the bushings I still get deathwobble. It isn't as frequent but I have still gotten it. Going back under to check everything. All components are tight though

his doesn't look too good lol. I ordered both axle mount front upper control arm bushing and they'll be here Tuesday. Install on Wednesday. Then get back to the bumper to install the lights. My plan for the bumper lights is to make up a template for the lights then make sure the they are both...

Good news and bad news, bad news first. I've developed death wobble. It happened after hitting an unavoidable pot hole and a bunch of times after that. Scariest thing ever. Anyway after the first time I crawled under, tightened every component I could of the steering including the control arms...

Painted the bottom bumper piece matte black. Looks much better than the gray color it was before. I chose to keep the plastic there just in case I need a little protection. I know it's not much but still better than nothing.

Checked out an abandoned tobacco warehouse downtown today and took some pictures.

Installed flush leds in the front bumper using the stock fog wiring. Now I need new headlights.

I also trimmed my front bumper. It was hard to find info on this so I'm going to do a quick write up below. I started using the snips as I was advised but really hated this. A utility knife made a much better cut. Tools needed: Utility knife Zip ties Pliers Lighter/torch Some way to make a...

Today was fun, received the rest of my parts. Cv axles and the spacers all came in. Spacers were simple to install, I just put them on the tightened them down with my impact. The tires now stick out a little bit and it doesn't look so skinny.

Today we got a little snow

Fixed the threads using a small file the Lowes let me use. They aren't perfect but the nut can get through it and it is able to screw into the trackbar so it'll work.

Received the IRO adjustable trackbar today and I have to say this thing is pure beef. However, the male has 3 threads that are messed up on the adjustable end. This pisses me if because I had to wait 2 weeks to get it and it's damaged and I can't use it. I contacted them so hopefully something...

Today I cut the old rotted spring towers and had new ones welded in. This added another 1/4" of lift in the front. Tomorrow I'll measure to get exact numbers. I'm debating on taking the 3/4" spacer out to see if that lessens the vibrations.

Did the rear part of the lift today. Pretty straight forward except for the upper control arm removal. Thankfully I had bought a 21mm ratcheting wrench. Ended up just removing the 3 diff bolts and the frame bolts and managed to pull it out after raising the axle. Tomorrow I'm going to grab some...

I picked up a roof rack but will only be using it when necessary. Mpg drops by 2 with it on. Second, I had the replace the alternator summer 2016 because it died on a trip to Raleigh. Third, blend doors died and cracked. Replaced with jgc full metal design. Never have to worry about that...

Installed a uniden 505xl CB radio with tunable 3' firestick antenna mounted to a HD spring and the tailgate mount.

Picked a set of 5 JK Moab Rubicon wheels for $120!

Replaced all my grab handle screws out for some #10-32x1 in Philllips head screws. Much easier to access with a drill bit than a 5.5 mm socket.

Going home for spring break so I'm about to order a few parts. All new spring isolators and a .75" spacer for the front to level it out. I measured the other day and from center of the hub to bottom of fender was 17.75". It should be 19 with the factory up country suspension so in all I expect a...
