What does everybody want to get done to there rig before the summer wheeling season?
I need to:
Figure out a swaybar.
Replace steering box.
Fix a couple of leaks.
Relocate rear shocks.
I think that's all the major stuff I want to get done in the next couple of months.
I'm still playing with my brakes. It stops really well once the brakes are warmed up, but when they're cold it's not very confidence inspiring.
I need to bolt on my factory rear swaybar instead of the stiffer aftermarket swaybar.
Reinstall my rear diff skid plate.
When I put my front axle in I installed 2 degree offset balljoints hoping the increased caster would help with my handling issues. Now that I've got the ARB installed I think I want to reinstall factory balljoints.
Fix an annoying squeak from one of the outer front axle seals.
I can't show my face with you guys til I get a lot done.
Install Cromo shafts
New skid plate
New rockers
New steering
and install CB
...thinking about a roll cage also.
See you guys in 2011 for wheeling. ๐
Brake lines
Rear shocks
Flux Capacitor
17" rims and 37" tires.

Wait till the Ford dies. Then I'll give you a deal on some used 37s on 15" rims. ๐ I have to smog it tomorrow so who knows...
I just need to put mine back together. I built new upper control arms today and got them installed. Next I need to reinstall the plate that covers my Atlas shift linkage on the inside of my tub, then put the center console back in. Once all that is done, I will install my new master cylinder and get my brakes up and running. Other than that, it is all ready to go. I am hoping to do a snow run in a few weeks. I need to test out how the 40 inch Kevlar MTR's will compare to the old MTR tread design in the snow.
When mine is done, John can bring his over so I can outboard his rear shocks. I have all your parts sitting in my garage, I mean John's garage :rasta:
Nice avatar...two hunting dogs.
HP 60 in the rear...
I can run my 4 runner just like it is. But I have a small pile of parts that need to get put on.
I need to install new rear springs and move the rear shackle mount. Install high steer kit and new steering box. Gusset and armor for the front axle, re adjust my rear bumper and put a fuse in my CB. I'm also looking for a better CB antenna.
I'm hoping a long weekend will get the axle done.....maybe 2.
i need to wash mine
If I did any more upgrades to my Jeep, I would be in "The Dog House"......
I would be hard pressed to justify any thing else after the tube fenders and paint.
Also with baby due on the 22nd of this month I doubt I will have much time to do anything before summer.
But just in case, need to make an oil pan skid plate, rework my rear bumper/ tire carrier, new cb, rock lights, and outboard the rear shocks. ๐
