Is the bolt hitting the fuel line, I think if you flip the track bar bolt around it has a small head for more clearance. Put the nut on the front side.

Hmm that is a good point, can't tell if it's just the angle or if they're actually touching. I'll have to check it out. Thanks good eye
Those clearance issues look typical. I ended up trimming the GTS flange and cutting the TB bolt off flush with the nut.
I know the factory bolt is a button head torx with the rounded head toward the tank. I think this is a safety thing in case of rear end collision the bolt won’t puncture the tank.
Had to get a new drill to enlarge the TB bracket for the JKS track bar.
Got a set with an impact while I was at it. Really excited to see how that speeds things up in the garage

Getting an impact wrench has been one of the better purchases I have made. Though I definitely suggest getting the correct impact sockets for it, I've ruined a handful
I have impact sockets I bought from harbor freight since I figured they'd actually be strong enough for my hands lol. We'll see if they're actually good impact sockets though...Getting an impact wrench has been one of the better purchases I have made.

Did you get an impact wrench too? In that picture is an impact driver - also a very useful tool, but a bit different
Are they different idk that's what I got it says it does like 1800ft lbs of torque. Can I not use it for nuts and bolts??Did you get an impact wrench too? In that picture is an impact driver - also a very useful tool, but a bit different
Yeah, the impact driver is closer to a drill (but also useful for screws and other fasteners), though you can use those little socket adapters to do some light hex heads. Impact wrenches have a lot more power and torque usually.
It's a great tool to have so I wouldn't be disappointed, it's probably the one I use the most regularly (but mostly on house things).
Cool yeah it will probably come in handy eventually but not what I was hoping for. I guess I can hopefully use it to zip lugnuts on and off at least even if I have to get them started/finish them by hand. The drill is really what I needed anyways so not a total loss

Ugh yeah. Looks like the dewalt one is 200$ to match the ones I got, boo. Another day I guess. I was hesitant to go HF because the Jigsaw I just bought there is pretty crappy, I was trying to get something that will be more "buy it for life" quality
1800 ft lbs would be a lot for the little hex bit.
An impact gun has the square connection like a ratchet, either 3/8” or 1/2” in sizes you’d want.
Maybe next year lol. I've spent wayyy too much on the Jeep trying to finish the tummy tuck haha
There's nothing wrong with using hand tools, you may find you'll break less stuff that way.
Since I already had air tools I haven't been too excited about buying battery powered tools. I have a set of Craftsman battery tools that I can't get batteries or a charger for anymore. The Dewalt was a Xmas gift so I didn't buy them.
But I need to get some battery tools as they would be easier to transport.
Hahaha yeah I've gotten this far that way so I can last a little longer. I'm not too sure about that last bit though I've had good success breaking things by hand...
I need to spend some money and time on my house lol. I'm tired of it feeling like a college bachelor pad still
