    Limiting turning radius

    Ok so I know on the TJ's that there was a bolt on the Spindle that I could add a washer too, which would limit the turn in of the wheel. To eliminate rubbing. Does this exist on the KJ spindle or somewhere else? Just got the suspension finalized and had it aligned with some new tires wound up...

    SO.... Tire question.. I'm thinking on going with set of Kumho Road Venture AT51 - in P245/75R16 or should I opt for the P265/70R16 I realize the main difference is a bit more width here with the 265. Thoughts? It's a shame I just can't stuff some SS TSL 34X9/16's up under her. lol So I...

    Yeah, I spent the weekend tearing down the front end and fitting the spacers. Didn't like the way they fit and how they over extend and stress the front end. So they didn't go on. I also had to order Upper and Lower Ball joints and decided to just order replacement control arms with all new...

    Question on OME springs

    Rear: Have installed a set of lift springs and new shocks. Bushings: The Lower control arm bushings (Control arm meets frame) look rough. Question, is there a bushing on the clevis mounting point on the lower control arm? Is this serviceable?

    Question on OME springs

    So I tore into my front suspension today to see it's condition. I need to replace the Upper & Lower Ball joints, and it wouldn't hurt to put in some new bushings in the control arms. I have new assembled replacement strut assemblies I will be putting in too. Everything else is in great shape...

    So I got a little time to mess with the KJ again so I did a little more upgrades and checking stuff out. Did the hood wrap with some flat black. I was going to do more of a copy of my Grand Cherokee Trail Hawk but decided to change it up a bit. Funny thing, when I took this picture I...

    Seat Cover Removal for Washing

    So has anybody pulled the seat skins off the seats to run thru the washing machine? Curious if this is doable or are they Hog ringed into the foam on the seat?

    Well I got the roof tackle with the wrap. That was rough, not sure I would do that again, the ridges make it a PITA to do. The pics don't do it justice. I also sanded and buffed up the rear 3rd brake light since it was hazed over too. Since the rain has let up, I was able to get back...

    Quit rushing me! LOL Yeah, I guess it looks like that. Generally I tackle that stuff first when I buy a just car. Luckily the oil was changed right when we bought the vehicle. I've already replaced the air filter, Have the plugs on hand and the fuel filter to replace as well. Just haven't...

    SO, I'm having some issues when it comes to interior lights. Ugh! Why couldn't they just use the old 194 bulbs and make it simple. Nope! Jeep decided we need to use like the most uncommon bulbs in the world. Or at least that's what it seems like. So the AC controls have a bulb out. I order...

    With the box coming along I need to figure out where to mount the power fuse up front and a place to add additional fuse mounts for some other planned goodies I'll be adding. So to my ABS plastic stash. Measure once, cut twice! Heat here and there and do the bendy thing! Little bit of...

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was excited about doing this and was hoping for some interaction. Ok back to the good stuff. So, now that I have all of my cables run to the back it's time to see if I can stuff 10lbs. of Audio into this tailgate. lol. I started by crating a surface to...

    I'm not eliminating them. I just took removed them from that massive plastic box. I wired them into the harness for less space.

    Just wonder if I can get all those wires through this factory grommet? I also don't like where the cigarette lighter plug is. I want to relocate that. How about right here. Yep that's better. Now what should I put in place of the old lighter plug? Yea, the USB & line level input...

    Now I could simply find a place to shove the crossovers in the dash but I don't want to do that. Pop the covers apart and remove the Capacitor in the for the tweeters. This keeps you from blowing out the tweeters by eliminating part of the frequencies the tweeters can play. The...

    So I repeated the same steps for the passenger side rear door to fix the window. I left the door panels off so I could replace the speakers. Next I decided to take care of the back glass since I was getting tired of it not opening all the way up. A couple of new struts. And whaa-la, no...
