camjeep3 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Id say you are due for bjs or unit bearings? did you ever align your front end? either way its no fun wearing out a good set of tires prematuremly... believe me :oops: I have the 8ks in my truck. ill probably put those in my jeep. what headlight housings do you have?

RockMJ Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Any chance you tweaked the axle housing in the accident? Definitely looks off, but nice to see shes back! RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 After I put the longarms in i did a home alignment and I know it's not the best you can get but it was fine for a while then the pass side started to get some camber, I'm thinking I'm due for ball joints too, might as well change the unit bearings while I'm in there! The front axle never hit anything when I crashed it and it's been wearing weird since before the accident, as I've only put 60-70 miles on my truck since! Oh yeah I Hit 120k miles today she's officially broken in haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hahah I have a girlfriend who loves my truck already :brows: which is hard to find around these parts! Most girls my age around here like the tuner/expensive car scene. I think the cars are nice and all but I would never own one! Back on topic! I've been reading some build threads and looking at some of my friends trucks.. pertaining to some nicer axles ;) I feel like a full width 8 lug 44 / full width 60 on 37s would be ideal for me, I haven't broken anything axle wise yet but I don't want to break stuff with 35s and plus 37s are cooler This of course would be down the road after I save up for it :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Got my truck inspected today, also got the alignment checked.... I have -1.5° of camber on the pass side and -.5° on the driver and way too much toe in on the pass side :roll: I'm trying to get my truck in tip top shape before march 30th because I'll be off to Rausch Creek offroad park! I have quite the list to take care of :help: I already greased everything and checked all the fluids Fix my alignment issues bolt down the tranny to the crossmember Make a mount and bolt down the front of my seat because it rusted away into nothing Things I'd like to do Make my high lift mount in the bed Install HIDs Paint the underside I have 19 days :peek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 you got plenty of time to do all that! HIDs are not that time consuming, and a hi lift mount shouldnt be too bad. if anything finish painting when you get back! :wrench: glad you got your alignment fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's hard to find time but I'll get it done! I still need to sort out my alignment issues and getthe bigger stuff done asap because what jeep doesn't have issues that take up most of the free time when you have to change a part or add parts :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 yeah, uh lets see, i have a squeaky track bar, need to redo my rear brake lines do a full tune up, weld my door hinge back on, put in a new brake booster... yeah i know what you mean :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Pics of highlift jack mounts, they're rear bumper brackets off a XJ and I'm Gunna mount it in the bed over a fenderwell, also got a pic of the mirrors :wrench: I did have to cut the plastic a little more on the driver side because when I side swiped the tree it bent the inside of the door where the mirror mounts too, but they're fine now 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I agree they do make the truck look good! I decapitated my old one and figured I might as well get the newer ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
