I had a good expierence with them when I had them mount/balance and align the WK after the OME lift. Very nice folks over at the one on south parkway by Joe Davis Stadium.
New to the forum. I live in NW Limestone county but work in Huntsville. I just bought my first jeep. A 93 YJ. Mostly stock now with 30" BFGs. 5th gear is gone. I'm looking for a used ax5 to rebuild and swap out. I'll start doing some upgrades as I can. Suggestions on essential upgrades to a dd weekend crawler? Maybe I can meetup with some of y'all the next time you do some wheelin'.
Welcome! Essential is a little bit subjective because it really depends on how you plan to use it. Judging by the pic, your front springs look pretty flat so a mild lift and 31s would be my first move. YJ lifts are really easy to do as long as you can get the bolts and everything out. My old YJ took about 10 hours but that was with a lot of cutting and torching.
my only complaints about my mtz's is that they are c-load. Hasn't been a problem yet though. I've had several different MT's and they don't compare to the mtz's. Not to mention they are super quiet on road for MT's.
Oh, and NTB doesn't have squat for inventory and nobody has DuraTracs for a decent price around here so I may take a road trip up to TN and visit Discount Tire.
I went up to Monte Sano today. Scoped it out some. The best spot for us to park is at the picnic area. There is a fairly large lot, and at 1600 hrs the shade will be right over us! The picnic area is the first right just past the guard shack at the main entrance.
I'm used to way more active threads than this. The Alabama/Huntsville thread on the Tacoma forum that SuthrnTJ and I are on is about 3 pages a day. You get a little spoiled when you get used to posting something and it is responded to within 20 minutes.
My exact set up. If he got the x-flex tell him to watch out for the control arm bushings. Mine are shot after three months and maybe 4 days of wheeling. I netted 5.5 and still am sitting at 5.5 after adding bumpers.
Here is a good deal on a front locker for someone. I know several people including myself that run them and abuse them with no problems. Not to bad to instal either. Best upgrade I have done to my Jeep to date.
Just signed up on the jeep fill the streets FB page.... will be with my wife and son in our JKU (stock ). Are folks planning on meeting before hand still?

Nice. Im sure there will be a lot of people coming, much more than the page reflects. My JKU is bringing 4 or 5 plus my dog!
We talked about it, but it passed over as far as I know. If anyone wants to meet me, I'll be coming up the parkway from hobbs rd. We could meet at the Walmart near Chick-fil-a???

My Jeep won't be making it unless I get my stuff finished up this week (not likely). My friend helping me is swamped with stuff, and we have some progress to make...
FYI: If we have uncooperative weather, we will be moving the event to Sunday. In any case, the details to a go/no-go will be posted both here and on FB.
2001. Already told him about the head cracking issues. He seems to have a lifter tick that the mechanic told him it was a cracked intake manifold. I call bs on that. I told him he needs to Seafoam it and see what happens.
The biggest problem with lifting the newer xjs without a sye is the tailshaft housing design on the later model 231s are alot more prone to vibrations and ujoint failure.
