Running out of things to do. Driving myself crazy waiting for my lift. I have all the bushings, control arms and isolators all ready to go!
Also waiting on my FlowMaster exhaust to arrive.
What did you do to your WJ today?
Tell us what you did!
Show pics!
I washed mine and Im still waiting for my lift to show up!
I put my new WHEELS and tires on with the jack
And replaced driver side axle shaft and changed all diff fluids.

Brought my Jeep to the shop for an alignment. Installed IRO's 3 inch lift kit. Feels pretty good, I'll definitely be upgrading to the heavy duty Addco rear sway bar.
I was experiencing death wobble as soon as I hit 55 mph on my first attempt to drive to the alignment shop. It was an hour away so I decided to just turn around. Found I hadn't installed the new adjustable trackbar tight enough, so after doing that it was better. I could take it up to 55 to 65mph with no wobble, but if I got a decent bump at that speed it would set it off.
Really hoping my caster angle just needs to be corrected and a better overall alignment will help.
My mechanic looked over the vehicle and didn't see anything wrong with the usual suspects (tie rod ends, wheel bearings, loose components, bad bushings, etc). I even have a new heavy duty steering stabilizer.
From what I was reading DW isn't usually caused by a bad alignment, but a bad alignment may trigger it and cause it to happen more often. So I'm wondering if my alignment will "fix it" or just make it less likely for me to experience the DW since the root cause is still there?
I'm not sure. Hopefully if I still get the DW I can track down the cause. It'd be a bit of a waste to get everything aligned only to find out later that I have to replace a component that would require a new alignment.
Drove my WJ into the six digits today
On the negative side, I did this while driving back from a referred alignment shop an hour away, only to find I wasted my money.
They must not know how to make corrections with my new lower adjustable control arms, because they didn't even adjust my caster! They said they couldn't fix it from pulling to the right, but I can almost guarantee that's because my driver side control arm is currently longer than my passenger one. A quick review of my control arms would've revealed this, but they didn't even touch them.
Plus I'm sitting at nearly 2.5 degrees more than is recommended. Oh well...
Drove 270 miles to the Green Mountains in Vermont. Attempting to drive up a neglected mountain trail with a friend who's family owns a bunch of acreage on this mountain side.
It poured yesterday though on top of a bunch of rain previously.
The "trail" is super muddy in some sections, and we're leaving 16" deep ruts. We've been cutting down small pines to use a traction to get out of a few bad spots.
A told my wife it looks like I need to invest in a winch!

This is where she's safely sitting for the night as we set up camp. We'll have to try to get some more branches for traction for the next 10 yards. Once we get past this section I think the worst of us is behind us til the top of the trail.

Made it up to the top of the trail. Minus the really muddy section where the water drains down the mountain, she went right up no problem.
On the way down, I made a mistake of hitting a slick spot and sliding down into a really deep rut.

Tried making these traction boards, but didn't have any luck with them.

Finally we came up with the idea of trying to use the wheels and rope as a homemade winch. Worked perfectly and pulled us right out!

I didn't even know anyone made bolt on versions.
I bought the DIY weld ones from IRO, and my cousin welded them all up for me.

Honestly, considering that a bunch of WJs are running with rotted out perches, and the bushing itself provides a decent amount of support, I think those bolt on will be just fine.
And easier to replace if need be.
Also, dropping your axle to remove the coils is the way to go I'm my opinion.ive removed my coils and even added 3" lift coils with that method no problem. I'd rather not mess with coil compressors personally.

Thanks! They're Mammoth brand. My wheels are their Boulder Simulated Beadlock model in charcoal.
Was looking for something that wouldn't break the bank and got two out of my 5 wheels "blemished". The blemished ones (cosmetic only) were only like $99 each I believe. And the offset was exactly what I was looking for 👍
