Currenlty i have just the double shear installed, and it made a world of difference. My adjustable arms, coils, and 1 ton steering are just waiting to go in. But the good news is we started my dads mason dump for the first time in a while last night. So soon enough that should be able to move out of the garage under its own power, and I can move my jeep in for a week or two

Man I can't even tell you what a difference this made! It's like a whole new Jeep! I'll take it for an alignment when I get it back from the shop. I'm going to order some kind of sway bar discos and 1 ton steering as well. Can't wait to see the finished set up. But winter is going by fast and Land Speed season approacheth! The Busa needs paint and tunning the new engine and setting up its suspension. Too many hobbies!

Not too bad, if you prep the plastic w/ alcohol pads before sticking the velcro on there. But I do like the idea of additional fasteners. I might have to grab some washers & pop rivet the corners of the velcro just for a little extra hold.

Overall I recommend the cubby bags. :thumbsup:

I bought the storage box last night and eBay says I'll have it by Monday the 8th. Once I get it installed I'll post pics & comments.

Will do my friend. Here's a bit of a tease. This is how she sat before break down. And this is the new paint color. PPG Viper GTS Pearl bule. She'll be pretty enough for show but designed for go.

I want one of those but idk how that hook and loop tape will hold up

Buy the industrial Velcro. I used it to anchor laptops in a doctors office. It broke all of the laptops when we tried to get them off the counters. Tuff stuff!

Whoah that locking box would be great for when I go doorless! Please post a review once you get it installed.

I have it, used it for the same thing but on a boat instead of a doctors office.

Woke up at 8:00am and worked till 11:30pm replacing my head gasket yesterday. Sounded like crap for a solid 5 minutes afterwards and didn't want to start. Thought I had screwed something up until it stayed running and slowly started improve. Now it runs like a champ! A lot smoother and more power! Real happy I did it now.

As promised, this is how PO wired up some 100w spots. Tied into some fog lights he had ran.

Just like this, no tape, no nothing. Bet they really worked well. The short red wire went to the spots.

This was the e-fan and lighting "circuits" in mine. The PO must have had a lot of 12" long pieces of wire laying around

While you real Off-Road Guys have been messing with your Jeeps, used to be one of you guys but am older now and my four wheeling days are over but it doesn't mean I still won't own a Jeep, I scored something I have been looking for. A Factory Rear Air Deflector for my '00 XJ. Know it does not seem like much but I am one happy camper.
