Wow ok its been a while. Not a whole lot done to the jeep in particular. Put a new trans into it a while back, swapped from a CB to a 2M ham radio after I got my license. Installed a roof rack on her.
All of that is gonna be dwarfed by the major sus rebuild I am doing in a couple weeks...
Well hey, guess what? This was the problem. It turns out the shock I swapped on had the same problem. Which makes me an idiot.
But the shock was replaced and everything is back to buttery smooth Libby driving.

Honestly I would have cut it lower with some more forethought. But I sprayed up that bit of frame with some bedliner and it's invisible now. Eventually I may grab a bumper skin from a u pull and redo the cut.

That's the one. I haven't driven it yet since I welded it, but it has been broken for about a year, and the noise just started recently, so I don't think that that was the cause. But I will find out tomorrow morning.

Little Update:
Tried swapping shocks, to no avail. Checked every bolt and bushing in the rear, nothing out of place.
I had an exhaust hangar rusted through, I finally welded that back on. I don't think that was the noise though, I had it tied up out of place.
Some of the best tires I have had. They are quiet for a m/t, and they are excellent on and off road. Mud, sand, whatever. They handle it all

Possibly, but these shocks have less than 250 miles on them, I would be really surprised. I'll try swapping my old shocks back on this weekend for a drive.

Springs aren't very sagged, I replaced them a couple years ago. Probably 25k miles. It doesn't seem to be dancing at all, it feels solid.
I am going to take my GoPro and record the rear axle in a little bit, and see what's going on.

Yup that's exactly what happens. I'm really baffled because nothing seems to be out of place. I've looked at everything but I can't reproduce it when I'm not driving. I'm going to stick my GoPro down there and see if I can see anything.

Hi guys,
I have had this strange clunking noise from the rear of my Libby for the past week. It happens when driving low speed over rough roads. It sounds like something hitting against the body. I have replaced the shocks and upper control arm and checked all the bolts for tightness. My next...
All moved. I had to extend the wires for the pump and low fluid sensor, but no big deal. Really makes you wonder why it wasn't here in the first place, it fits very nicely.

Of course with cutting the bumper that washer fluid bottle is very exposed, so I am relocating it
I cut the massively long neck off of the bottle and shortened it to a more reasonable length.
Once the epoxy dries, I will add pics of the new mounting location.
