Still haven't had that one done. I had the jumper harness but not that one. Now with it sitting in the garage half apart, who knows if I ever will. Engine is now a fall project. :Insane:
I thought that stuff only happened to me. :help:
What did you do to your jeep today?

nope. it's a pretty much a constant in my life.
now I just wish i could get a longer cable for this lock:
Master Lock 1470DAT
could use it at 9' instead of 8'. then it would be perfect.

2006 jeep liberty "Camo Critter"
I waxed her after she got a brand new set of General Grabber AT2s on. And I finally had time to finish the grill so it matches the rest of her. Camo Critter is slowly getting there.

Was a similar day for me, TC. Didn't go the same level of 'detail' you did (
) but I washed both Jeeps and also waxed the KJ. Beautiful day too!

Drove up an unmarked series of old logging roads to see where they went. I thought I would end up either at the top of Spanish Peak or maybe in the vicinity of Silver Lake, where in the summer of 1970, I was on a US Forest Service crew that built a 4-hole crapper tank out of concrete (someone built the structure on top of it later). I did get within 3 or 4 miles of the lake, but nowhere near the mountain top.
During the drive, I crossed a small creek. I didn't know how deep it was, but there was a lot of tire treads on both sides. My front tires no sooner got wet when I bottomed out on a boulder that sounded like it rolled along under my Jeep until I got to the other side. It was a horrendous sound and I really thought I was either gonna see my temp gauge go into the red or my gas gauge quickly move to the E. Neither happened.
I kept going. On a particularly rutty stretch of almost road, I saw a large rock I thought I had plenty of clearance to straddle. Uh-uh. That rock hit the underside of KJ hard in a couple of places. Again, my eyes darted from gauge to gauge and I'm dreading no cell service - or even if there was, how could I tell them where I was.
That was an exciting 3 hours. I really did enjoy it. But I can't wait until I can do the lift. I can't see myself traveling over much worse terrain, so a 2½" lift should be just about perfect for me. Isn't that what you ended up with Perfesser? Oh, and more skid plates. I got the transfer case covered, but nothing else. Maybe I should take it to the shop Monday and ask them to hoist it to have a look-see.

Yes that would be good to check it out for sure .
The Prof ended up close to 4 inches of lift ( 3.75-4 )
My 03 is at 2.5 inches of lift if you need pics

I worry about being able to get in and out of my Jeep if I go too high. I'm old, fat and infirm - and I have to get in like a contortionist because I have a fat tank of oxygen strapped to my back (it's in a CamelBak backpack).
The skidplates I'm using are Skid Row, so kinda heavy. Would that reduce my overall height on a 2½" lift? I'm guessing adding clevis spacers can get me back to 2½". I'd like to go as high as possible without having to change out my differentials.
You've shared your 03 pics a lot already, thanks. I been thinking about starting my own lift topic, but I think the perfessor's has us all kinda burnt out.
I'll give it a little more time. I'm ordering parts as I can afford them, so I'm a ways off yet.

Who's burnt out??... Na...this is burn out~~!!!:gr_grin:

I don't think the skids sag you down much at all.
You should be ok getting in and out, especially if you got a set of rock rails to use as steps.

Mine had a sliver removed from his foot (nail in tire), tires rotated, gassed, vacuumed, washed, a couple spots on the upholstery cleaned up, and interior wiped down. All before noon.
I should really take the time and claybar/wax the exterior... but being that I'll be spending 3+ weeks on the road with it here in a few weeks, I think I'll do that when I get back.

OK on my 03 with 2.5 inches of lift and 265-70-16 tires on MOABs my drivers seat is about 34 inches ( from ground to seat bottom ) I also have leather seats out of an 03 which may make a bit of a difference as well.
So maybe you can find something about that height to see how it would be.
ANOTHER trick I do for people wanting to lift is stick a floor jack under the transmission cross member and jack it up. Measure where you would when checking height , then try and get in and out . Works great.
