Hey Don, are these what you have the Teraflex 1.5" shackles https://teraflex.com/shop_items/xj-1-5-rear-shackle-kit?
I see Warrior makes a 1" http://www.warriorproducts.com/catalog-new/catalog/jeep/84-01-jeep-cherokee-xj-2/suspension/leaf-spring-shackles/
Man, do I feel like a loser, you consider that just "chipping away"!
It's amazing!!! Have you had the winch switch panels made already, how do they look?
bluenotenick, love your avatar! I'm a big "Classic" Motorhead fan, I saw them back in 1981 (Ace of Spades tour) and 1982 (Iron Fist tour)!!!
Apologies for the hijack.
Fun read and a few good MJ pics!!! The last lap and finish are pretty cool!!

Routed mine along the firewall then through the bung just above the speedometer cable, the orange wire in the first picture. Then modified a switch panel dummy plug to fit a cat5 keystone connector. I need to move it between three MJs so I have the same set up in each.
