Once I have all of the new parts on the jeep that I ordered, I will post pics of the rig with all the new goodies! Hopefully that will be next week sometime.

I’m pretty much replacing everything that has to deal with steering. I should be getting my currectlync steering kit, tracbar, new steering gear box, new sway bar endlinks, new shocks, coils, and adjustable control arms early next week. Should drive like a new jeep after all of that work.

I will when I have time later today or tomorrow.

I paid $4k for it. The frame is completely rust free. I think I got a deal.

I believe the guy who owned before the guy I bought it from, lifted the jeep and didn’t put a pitman arm for a 4 inch lift on it. They didn’t replace anything to accommodate the lift at all.

I’m replacing the shocks, inner and outer tie rods and drag link as well. I’m doing a rock jock full steering kit.

I like that! Just turn the radio up! Hahaha!

Just got back from my local Offroad shop. Got an estimate for a rock jock steering kit, track bar, and new pitman arm. Upgrades will commence in about a week or two. Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. I have a lot to learn about jeeps!

So I just purchased a 97 TJ over the weekend. The steering feels really loose. I’m new to the jeep world too. Below are some pics of some bushings on the front end. Can anyone tell me what needs to be replaced to tighten up my steering? All bushings in pictures are trashed but don’t know...

Well after a month of looking for the right TJ to start with, I found it. Already has a lift and the drivetrain has been beefed up. Now to lock to in the deal this week and pick it up. More to come once it’s in my possession.

Welcome! I’m in Ohio but heading south in couple months then heading out west. Maybe we will cross paths!

I’m one to keep things as simple as possible. I’m not going to put things on my truck that I don’t need. I mostly plan on doing forest service roads and unmaintained roads but I still want to protect certain things like my oil pan and gas tank. When I build vehicles I build for function. I...

Good looking rig! Best of luck to you in the sale. If I was still in Washington and had the extra scratch, I would throw you an offer!

I’m in! Either day works for me.

Thank you for your input. I was also thinking that using a flat rack, the RTT may not go all the way to the windshield so I could use that space for other storage.

Wow, that’s awesome that it’s that simple. Yea, I’ve already done a lot of research on the pros and cons of a RTT. I don’t plan on getting one for awhile. I don’t mind the tent on the ground.

Honestly I’m not sure. I’m still new to this community. My trailblazer has the roof rack stuff from the factory. I’m not exactly sure what I would need to put a RTT up there.

I’m pretty new as well. I’m still learning more about it as well. I’m out in Ohio, but I have plans to travel out west in the next year. Especially Montana.

Welcome to the community! Good looking rig. Love the setup!

Hey guys! I would love to get in on this trip. Currently I dont have any armor or a wench. I do have good AT tires and should have a lift before September. Do you guys think I would have any issues on this trip? Oh, Im just getting started into Overlanding. My trailblazer has is 4wd, no...
