Son of a bit......well that sucks.

Since you're on lpg shouldn't need it. If I'm visualizing it correctly there is just a manifold for the lpg on the intake correct?

Backspacing really will just depend on the style you are looking for and what size tire you are going to be running. 3-4" is most times a decent amount for a little more aggressive look. Stock should be 5.25 on 15x7 Lift is a loaded question. What's your budget? What are you building it for?

Yeah it kind of does. I know I could have just done the alignment myself as toe doesn't require a lot but I just didn't have the want to. Way to many side projects and the wife is about to beat me with a stick if I work on the jeeps this weekend. It's been driving a lot better since the alignment. So I'll take that as a win, wife happy + jeep happy= me not fearing for my life

No I was looking into it and toe is all that can be adjusted I don't have the cam bolts like the xj/mjs. If I didnt just replace all of the CA with new stock ones I would go adjustable. Eventually I may throw the hp44 and 9" I have in it and go longarms. But thats going to be after the MJ is done......so like never.

Ok kind of makes sense. I'm tracking roughly but still trying to wrap my head around it. All they can adjust is toe. WJs do not have anything they can adjust. It's not causing any crazy issue and I haven't noticed any abnormal tire wear. Thanks for the info!

Can you elaborate? Not challenging just wondering.

All new isolators 3" lift. I did have to reweld the coil perches but those where not off enough to create any camber issues.

Not for the MJ but figured it would be worth the ask. I took my WJ to get an alignment the other day and the camber is off. They did check the ball joints are there was no excessive play or slop in them. Wheel bearings are fine as well. Guy mentioned the axle housing might be bent but I find that odd as it has never been in an accident and prior to me doubtful it was ever wheeled hard enought for that to happen. Any other thoughts or ideas?

10-4 will do

So I took the WJ to get an alignment yesterday. They mentioned that there was excessive camber. I had noticed it a little before and just thought it might be my eyes deceiving me. The ball joints are fine, no play in the wheel bearings either. So next thought was a bent axle housing, but the jeep was never in an accident let alone wheeled. Any thoughts on this? Here's the alignment report, my caster kind of sucks

No, I think it was a 2010 or something in that range. First engine went at about 50k other went about 120k. I know subis are all over CO but I never been in one and been like yes....other than maybe a WRX but everyone japs them out and they sound like sh^t. Yeah last thing I need is to get the wife a hemi....slower the better for her. Our friends did have a newer grand and is was plagued with electrical issues. They bought it brand new and ended up trading it in after 2 years. Good to know. One of my buddies had a Kia back in the day. he was as mechanically inclined as a gerbil and never had an issue with it.

Sweet, last time I went to a jet car show at Bandimere it was amazing.

I was also looking at the Hyundai Sante fe and Tuscon. Those I can get 2016-18 for under 20k along with low mileage. Issue is I don't know a ton about them. Only experience I had was my mom and a tuscon that she beat the hell out of and it still kept going. I figure if a car can survive my mom then it probably isn't complete garbage.

I had thought about snagging one of these a while back. The issue was the doors can be a real pain with car seats. My brother in law has one, he loves it but hates dealing with the car seat. Once the kid gets to forward facing not an issue. My father in law did offer her their 13 rav4 for cheap but she's not too keen on it. Honestly for her it would be great but we all know how stubborn women can be....

Honestly, not a fan of subis at all. My grand parents have a forester and it's already been through two engines. Also wife want's something that sits up high.

So the wifes KJ is getting to the point of me being sick of working on it and us just needing a solid family vehicle. I've been looking around and just wanted to here some feedback. Originally we had thought about a JK but I have 0 faith in newer jeep these days. And for the cost it's just ridiculous. So here's what we are looking for -Sub 20k, (I also have a dealers license so can pick up vehicles at auction for cheaper) -Must be 4wd -2010 or newer -Prefer under 100k -4 doors -No Ford products I've been considering a -2010-2012 4runner -13-15Chevy traverse -13-15 -Chevy equionox -2013-15 GMC Terrian -2010-13 Highlander Any other suggestions?

I don't personally, but a few NAXJA guys have used it and don't have issues.

Yeah and that is what I'm thinking. I know even thought a WJ is still a little heavy it's not full psi on E load heavy.

You can check out monstaliner as well. Or if you don;t want the texture there's duraback https://www.durabakcompany.com/pages/colors I'll eventually duraback my WJ. I don't like the textured look but that's just me.

Honestly, I haven't checked. My guess is they are probably around 35psi.

Replaced all the steering this past weekend. The TRE's were in worse shape than I thought. They had 0 resistance when it came to moving them around. Also found one of the control arms was a little loose so tightened that up along with the track bar. I also corrected some issue with the steering stabilizer. I went with the MOOG trail boss and it didn't have all the correct hardware when I put it in. A lot less noise on the road but still not the smoothest. I will admit some of the roads around here are really bumpy and most of the time it's not a bad ride but fn a it's loud compared to my MJ, and that's stock for the most part with stuff that hasn't been replaced in I don't even know how many years. I'm going to air down the tires a little as I think that is another thing causing some issues. I'm running load E which is overkill (I know, but wanted 10 ply tires) and I think I need a little more cushion and not as much air. I also started to finish up some of the stereo. I bought all new speakers, nothing special just some basic Kickers. Only thin I really changed was I put 3.5" in the dash vs the stock size. Few little cuts but they fit just fine. I'm not happy with the way to deck looks though. I moved up to a double din and the fitment is garbage. I'll take a pic later but it just looks terrible. Old vs New My "helper" for the day

Diy, if you want something that is truly not going to kill the approach angle you'll need to hack out the cross memeber up front. Id just get some fab mounting brackets and build it from there. Or http://www.boostwerksengineering.com/BWE-Comp-Mount_p_14.html Paying $800+ for a Front bumper is asinine.

Nice build! Love poking through these and seeing where they start and finish!

I'm still working through morning coffee...... but IIRC the 760 is going to be the bigger ujoiunt that was on 96+. You can't move up to them unless you have swapped the shafts as well. Which now would be the time to ditch the CAD if you have it.
