Take a good look at that jeep's shackles and tell me what's pulling them off to the side. Your springs are enough to locate the axle underneath. Otherwise they just inhibit proper suspension cycling.

Same happens here a lot. Friend of mine had his 37" super swamper stolen and
he had locking lugs. I took mine off also.

Ever considered a different type of locking lugs? This can be adapted, for sure.

My track bar will be coming off soon, along with the stock axles and springs. They will be replaced with some rocks and 44 tsl's and some leaf springs for now so I can play with it while I save for the rest of my four link parts

See "1991 YJ 2.5L belt tension issues
To include taking a cut-off wheel to the radiator mounting bolts, bolt cutters to one of the bolts I couldn't reach with the cut-off wheel. Spraypainted the new waterpump and radiator(Which are awaiting install) pending PS Pump/belt tension loosening up. FML. Thank God for wine.  However, I'm about out and the sun has gone for the day. PB Blaster, do your WORK!!!

cleaned
Just bought my first Jeep- 95YJ and it was delivered today. I spent time cleaning it out a little and getting used to the layout.
Here's the shopping list of things to do next:
Fix clutch pedal (if it gets pulled forward accidentally the pin falls out of the firewall)
Fix dash lights and dome light- I can't see in the dark!
Get Hardtop for it.
Adjust parking brake so it actually holds the Jeep in one place!
I am sure there will be more...

Is there a video or a thread that explains how to remove the track bar properly....if I don't need it, I want it off, especially if it's gonna help the flex.
