Hey Guys I just finished installing an RC 3" Series II lift. As soon as I finished, I new I wanted to go higher. Installed 3/4" front spacer, RC adjst. shackles in rear. I was fortunate not break off any bolts(lots of PB Blaster). Installed TC drop and JKS quick disc. at the same time. No vibrations, feeling lucky about that. Overall very satisfied with the way it turned out. XJ actually rides better now, than with the old stock suspension. The shakey butt feeling is gone...feels much more tied down. Let me know what you think.
The guy I bought it from said he rarely washed it and never waxed it
For the most part, the paint was in reasonable shape. I started with a clay bar to remove dirt/contaminates. Next was a scratch remover/shine enhancer. Then sealant. Followed by a good quality Carnuba wax. It really brings it back to life:thumbsup:
Thanks tock-
90k on the clock, it's been well cared for(bought it from a neighbor who drove it around the Village). Looking forward to getting it dirty
Did you notice the clay bar actually working? My paint is not too bad, but I have been considering doing something to help bring it back, I keep it clean and well waxed, but I was wanting try something new. What brand of scratch remover did you use just out of curiosity?
You will be amazed how much dirt you pick up on a freshly washed vehicle. Paint has pores that actually hold dirt and contaminates.
I used a product called P21S paint cleanser. You can also use Poorboys SSR1(swirl remover).
Check out a site called detailedimage.com , they are very helpful and provide good product descriptions. Hope this helps
Looks great! But please do somthing about the break lines. The hard lines need help and you should run extensions or at the very least move the bracket. Looks super nice though.:thumbsup:
Looks nice.
Grab some black rust protecting spray paint and hit those bolts in the front wheel wells (heck the whole thing while you're down there) and it'll make the Jeep look better when people are checking it out:2thumbsup:
