Best picture I could take of it so far. Everything's going good. I went to get an alignment yesterday but they wouldn't do it until I fixed the tie rod ends and control arm bushings. I want to get the OTK from Iron rock but I don't have the money so i just got 2-25$ replacement ends from them, but I did get fixed lower arms and adjustable uppers coming in the mail in a week or so. I took a loan from my parents. Ive been doing a lot of welding for friends so Ive been making some nice cash so hopefully I can pay them back after I sell this weight rack I've made for a local gym.

The 4.10s are nice, much more torque and going 25 is a lot easier now because 2nd used to not like it and neither did 3rd. I haven't been on the free way yet but hopefully I don't get any drive shaft vibes and hopefully it'll make it to 70 mph.

So on saturday I put in my 2.5 degree shims and they helped but looks like I'm going to have to go about a degree or so more. I thought I only needed 2-3 degrees more but I guess i didn't measure right. Around 62mph I get some vibes. Before the 2.5 shims i put in it was around 48ish.

Well I was very surprised to get tires for Christmas. I'm going to Les Schwab tomorrow to get some 33x15x10.5 toyo open country M/Ts. I don't want to go any wider then I have now because I want my same turning radius. I'm on the road 99% of the time anyway so I've heard the Toyos are pretty good

Well today we are heading down to the dunes, but I'm pissed because i left my drivers side door unlocked and most of my tools got stolen. The people left a lot of them though but it was still about 500$ worth.

Seem to be a lot of people prowling for unlocked vehicles around xmas... Someone jacked a couple things from my truck too the other day.

 

 

When you get back, Hit me up. We need to go wheeling!

oh i also bought a 1999 cherokee sport 4dr 4X4 for $150 it runs and drives, but title is missing. plan to get a title and fix it up nice and pretty and sell it so i have some money to work on my comanche. if i can't get a title, i will part it out and do a 4X4 swap on my MJ and sell the rest. but i might also sell both my MJ and my XJ and get a chevy k-5 blazer 4X4 with a 6.5 liter turbo diesel from my aunt. Decisions, desicions...  :dunno:  :???:

So I'm at the dunes. My truck is doing really well but I blew a hole in my master cylinder line and a bearing cap on my front driveshaft fell off so I'm getting a weird knocking Sound but it'll be fine. Tomorrow I'm making a trip up to napa in Tilamook OR to get some parts. Overall though the jeeps killing it out here
