Passenger side is all together in the rear except for the shock. Still have to drill out the bolt. Driver's side is completely apart, will be putting it together tomorrow. Have half of the TC drop on, but once again have one bolt that will not come out. I don't know who thought that it would be a good idea to have bolts that the heads are nuts, cause all that happend when I took it off was the head came off and left the bolt there. Will be drilling that one out tomorrow as well. Done for the night, exhausted... Sorry no pics yet. I promise I will after I get the driver's side done. There was not enough room in the garage to get a good pic on the passenger side.


Its coming, slowly. But it is coming.

Aren't those studs that stick out and you just put nuts on to hold the crossmember? or am I thinking of a different vehicle?

No, one came out and one did not.  They would still have to be drilled out because need to be extended for the drop bracket.

Well finally the pics that I promised. Here we go.  The first few are some of the parts that were put on.   Got the H4 head lights, no pics on the jeep yet because it is still in the garage:



New 4.5" Motion Offroad Leafs, Hood Vents, MO Trac Bar:



Motion Offroad 1-Ton Cross over Steering:



Here is a pic of the 4.5" leafs installed:





I think that Nick got a lot more then 4.5".  I pulled the XJ into the garage without any problems, lots of space.  I know that I am going to have to take the Rack off the top now for sure.  It is not even going to be close.  They should settle some, but overall I am very pleased with how high they sit.biggrin

Here is a pic of the little monster who has been very patient with me being just out of reach to play.  As you can see she is crouched down about ready to kill something lol.



And as soon as I unchain her what does she do, get some revenge on the chain by giving it a few good bites.

The shop dog is a 12 week old white english bulldog.  Awsome dog, would suggest it to anyone.  She is great around anyone and any other type of animal.  Just wants to play, no barking or growling unless you really try to get her to.  You can see more pics of her in the family and pets thread.

Well had to take the tire off the top to get it out of the garage today, but got it.  Still having fun with those bolts, while drilling the TC one out, I pushed it and the bolt up into the frame.  Now I have to fix that.  Still have to drill the shock bolt out with an easy out broke off in it.evileye 

Other then that the rear is done.  It rides much better with the new leafs and that is with only one shock...   Here is some pics.  The first is showing the new headlights, second is just so you can get a better side view of the lift.  And you can see the new window visors.smile  I think that it is looking good.

I am going to change the rear dif. fluid since most of it leaked out while putting rear on.

I got coil spring compressors yesterday, so will probably start in on the spacers up front this weekend.  Still have to drill out easy out though, so probably work on that for a while till I get pissed at it....

I cant believe all you have done, on this jeep it is amazing how far it has come , I have been cleaning out my shop and have a spot that, metal, underbody, electrical and drive line work can be done, It is heated, very well lit, and I have been collecting tools all summer, so if you get to a spot where you need a new work area let me know
