Rob S Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Like the seat swap. Why did you choose the RC lift? Just curious, I'm debating on a LA or short arm lift myself, checking to see what others are running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackel18 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 i debated on what lift to get for a looong time, i wanted to go 4.5" and from talking to some people and the local jeep shop i decided to go rc. also had a RC lift on my '95 yj and liked it. i'll be changing a lot also, some JKS parts and rusty'e 4" leaf pack also. for what i wanted the RC lift just seemed to work.

jackel18 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 a lot has changed on my mj since my last post in the project section. First off; got a new exhaust (40 series) Then i tore out the carpet, got rid of the nasty mat, i plan on reusing the carpet. the floor wasn't that bad, had to have a few spots patched. also replaced the drivers side rocker, doesn't look perfect but it works. and same thing for the pass bed side. i did the first coat of herc. to the bed, but haven't got any more coats done yet(Stupid rain). no this is where the S@#$ hit the fan.......lost my brakes(front d side) got that fixed. then i brought it in to get inspected and the brake line that goes from front to back blew out. had to get all new brakes and a few new brake lines, the u-joints in my d 30 were fried, and my rear bumper had too many rust holes in it to pass inspection. so all of that stuff was fixed, not by me becase i haven't had the time. the bumper was removed and replaced by a lic plate holder w/lights, until i have a rear bumper fabbed up. while waiting for the lic plate holder to come in it was realized that my truck was leaking fuel :headpop: as of no my truck has been in the shop for just over a week and has no sticker.......and now i have to wait and find out what is leaking(praying its not the tank) and between work and the reserves i don't have time so i have to pay somone else to do it. right now i hate Jeeps....well not really....i mostly hate the lack of after market support for our trucks. i just wanna have my truck back and in one piece, and also still have some money left for my lift that i keep having to put off. anyway i'll have picks when i get her back, probably after Aug 13th.....this sucks :cry: Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 When you undercoat it, are you just going to spray over whatever is already down there, or clean it up majorly first? Sorta thinking about doing my dodge, and bedlining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
