So I about 3 month ago I went prowling to find my wife a new daily driver and ended up finding my new wheeler! Instead of building my old xj any further it became the wife dd!
I picked up my new 96 Laredo 4.0 with 152k on the clock! As it sat it had 4.5 re sort arm lift with 1.75 coil spacers sitting on 35-12.50-15 mtrs rode like poo. lucky me it had a 8.8 and hp dana 30 swap allready so that saved me time and money!
first thing I did was mount the mtrs black wall out made a big difference!
drove it this way for about 2 month and was still putting up with the crappy ride and all the clunking that was comeing form the worn out control arm bushing! so I thought I would try and flex it out but It was ripping of the rear bumper!
well when pulling out of the 711 I heard a loud pop and than the next corner I took I was in for a surprise! the sway bar bracket snaped off .
and some random flex pics with the sort arms!
So when I bought it the guy I bought it from told me it had a locker up front and I believed him because of all the noise it was makeing up front so I pulled the cover to see what kind. this is what I found
this sucked to see (broken spider gear and also a pinion gear) So I started saveing up for the fix! So I got tired of the ugly rear bumper so I removed it all together!
then the ugly grey cladding was getting to me so I went ahead and painted it black!:2thumbsup:
Then I had xgerstandtx make me up a badass bumper/tire carrier,higlift holder he did a great job!
