Nice work on the KJ. But you have some really nasty looking lenses on the foglights!
Thought I better reinstall the factory hitch. Left it off when I installed the bumper . Was wondering how to hold up the bumper while installing the hitch.
Ratchet straps to the rescue, up to the garage door rails, in the speed holes in the bumper . Never moved at all , held up one end of the hitch with my knees and it was on in no time

Been thinking about other ways to tweak the rear end. Anyone know our rear driveshaft length versus a Cherokee or Grand Cherokee with the NP231? Would be pretty cool to be able to install an SYE kit and extend the driveshaft a bit.
Please don't ask why. I already know I have crazy thoughts. Facts only please.

No need for me to ask why an SYE kit then

:happy175::happy175::happy175::happy175:
Guess you have never had the pleasure of being around a real old crotchety man or men!
The old guys I hung out with when I was in my 20 would have most guys crying in the first 15 minutes.
Sounded meaner than snakes, yelled, screamed, called ya out on any little things, but would do anything for you on the same hand.
I admired them

hey life made them tough when they had to walk to and from scool 10 miles up hill both ways in snow storms :gr_grin: my grandpa was one of those crotchety old men and always yelled about all the stuff he survived in WW2 but that he lost his leg from stepping on a rusty nail. More knowledge than i could ever dream of though.....because he asked 'why' a lot :happy175:
i think one of my old xjs rear DS was 31.75 ".....i could be wrong. I know some years and 2wd vs 4wd had different yoke lenghts

AEY-MEN! I know some very scary guys that would walk out of their own daughter's wedding if I really needed their help. It took a lot to earn their trust but for good reason. They don't put up with any bull. These guys used to harass me for every single little thing. One guy used to make fun of me really bad for my tools. He used to make fun of the quality. He called all my tools Harry homeowner tools! He even used a black sharpie and wrote Harry homeowner all over them! One of them was a Snap on hack saw!!! Today I can say I am one of the most fortunate people to call them my true friends.

He didn't let me down. Called me this morning to pick them up. Charged me $20.00. Then I made an appointment with my regular mechanic to do the lift at the end of this week.

THIS week. Then a front end alignment next week. And I hope to be able to mount new meat, with studs on my existing wheels in a month or so.

Oh I thought you meant you were dropping it off at the end of the week..therefore be lifted and driving next week, but even better! You're gunna feel like your jeep skipped leg day for a month then! 
Got a Renegade rack from a great friend a while back, but was needing a place to haul some things over Christmas. Since they have places on the side to tie tow but no floor needed to remedy that problem
So started by beefing up the mounting points on the Rack
Added a couple of crossbars, then 7 Hard White Maple runners 1.5 inches wide and an inch thick front to back and shes good to go !
I know its not a RL rack or anything that strong but it'll work for what I need

That's a steal....almost worth shipping mine there next time. :gr_grin:

It wasn't to my Jeep but I attached one of those wooden train whistle toys to a friend's Rubicon. He's gonna have a weird look on his face on his drive home today.:happy175::happy175::happy175:

Didnt do anything TO it, but what i did WITH it haha. Wifes out of town visiting friends and with the days so short i go into work when its dark and get off when its dark, so i decided the pup was inside all day lets go frolic in the snow. Gave me a chance to try out my new led bar i got on black friday
Still needs adjusting, but that will wait till i get a chance to readjust my headlights, theyre pointed down a bit for how the jeeps sitting currently.
