So my block I got is junk. The grooves are too deep

 

Sucks.  There's lots of them out there though...

 

Ya, I'm just trying to get one for less then 150$

Went to walker valley last night, stayed the night, and wheeled this morning. I only hit to trails. Easy crossing and ridge Rams. Had a lot of fun. Didn't get any pics lol. All of the gates were closed so I had to go around one of them. I almost blew out a taillight, but luckily I just hit clay!

Just swapped in a new rear brake line. This ones a lot better. I still just zip tied it on though

Lol nope. I thought about making a new link for it, but whatever. It's fine

So for months my sway bar has been hitting my cool springs and frame and it makes a horrible knocking sound. Then a few weeks ago I took a corner and one of my links sheared off (aftermarket rich country's). Then yesterday at walker I disconnected my sway bar. I forgot to connect it back up on the way home, but didn't notice a difference. It felt fine. Yes, with a load in the bed, it'll be different but I just took the damn thing out. Make I'll get a new one or the anti rock kit.

Came out to the jeep after I got down with a spike ball tournament at a local park and someone hit me. Door won't open and fenders bent

Lol ya. I'm gonna pull it off and try to bend the mounting brackets back so that it'll push it back out

Almost got the gap closed. I've been using a 2x4 and twisting it in between the "frame" and the inside of the fender to push it out

as long as you don't drive like an asshat, you don't need a sway bar.

yes some people like it, for obvious on road handling reason's, just don't pretend your driving some ricer

 

 

i bet you flex alot better now.

 

none of my jeeps have one, even fully loaded.

for your fender,

i would suggest pulling that flare off of it, and taking it to a paintless dent repair shop (yes that is a thing) it has probably been creased or stretched at the fender and will require hammer and dolly work.

 

it would be a shame for a nice truck such as this to get dinged up trying to fix it, also, why didnt you claim a hit and run and let insurance deal with it?

Some of us only know how to drive it like we stole it though

I fixed the fender and it turned out pretty good. Didn't take long either

Just dropped like all my money on a hurst short throw shifter and over the knuckle steering! I can never save my money very well, but i can't wait for this shifter. Its going to be awesome. 

[Megadan]

The shifter is worth it, believe me.  I love mine.

[Jackrabbit41]

Man o man am I glad I got that shifter. Best modification ever! Hands down! I love this thing. Shifts so good, throw is so short and looks amazing! I made a YouTube video of the install (it wasn't easy with my set up).

My OTK steering came today so I'll put that in soon too.

Got the T-handle, nice.  I went with the old round ball, more comfortable in my hands.   So are you like me now and think it was worth every penny?   :yes:
