Jeep Driver Report post Posted June 19, 2017 Just posting some pics tonight. I replaced my rear soft line with braided ss today, couple of inches longer too. In the last couple of weekends, I pulled the front axle AGAIN, cleaned up, painted (again). This time I raised the front 1.25" and pushed it forward 7/8". New shocks, new yoke, and new JKS track bar. I also filled in the passenger side UCA mount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeeppapa Report post Posted June 19, 2017 I like it, looks like something very ferrous under the hood. Got any hood scoops laying around? Just a thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted July 15, 2017 Got the Synergy links installed, the only thing I thought was lacking was painted rod ends, otherwise, very high quality. Also, the new Teraflex dampener. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted July 15, 2017 I'm not a body man, but the doors and tailgate turned out excellent. The SE doors came with a few dents, beggars can't be choosers. [/url] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swampy Report post Posted August 19, 2017 How were you able to remove the doors? It would make working on the floor pans so much eaiser lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted August 20, 2017 Bodywork is the most difficult thing I've done car related. Most of my highs-n-lows are inherent in the stamping, although it did have a couple of dings to get out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted August 20, 2017 Ratcheting 1/4 wrench takes all the work out of getting the doors off. Doors are in perfect shape, no dents or rust, if anyone wants to buy them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A-man930 Report post Posted August 22, 2017 I spy CV shafts... what's the front axle from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted August 22, 2017 I spy CV shafts... what's the front axle from? The axle came from a '94 XJ and the shafts are from a (IIRC) '98 ZJ. I won't be climbing over boulders..........guys complain CVs are weak but these have held up well and it steers real smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted September 3, 2017 I decided to repair my worn hinges this way. I could not get the pins to move so I cut them out and used brass washers to make up the difference. They are so nice and tight now, I can't wait to have doors that actually swing like they are supposed to. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted September 5, 2017 It's a good thing my grinding skills are better than my welding skills...........LOL At least the hinge won't come off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep Driver Report post Posted September 5, 2017 I bought the HF stud welder today, the thing actually works. Learning curve.......I had to fill in a couple of pin holes with the mig. I put a straight edge to it and it's actually pretty good, good enough for Bondo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
