It just happened!

After driving the Jeep for a few days, I'm going to claim victory with death wobble. However, after bending a second ZJ conversion on the TJ, I ordered a Currie CorrectLync.

I swear to God on my Grandparent's graves, I was no where near your tie rod.
 
I made a trip to AOAA last week, where I bent the replacement ZJ tie rod. I'm now convinced that the ZJ conversion is a good street upgrade, but that for wheeling, something heavier duty is needed!

Dang, I'm still on the OEM tie rod and as far as I can tell, it's not bent. I must not be wheeling hard enough. :ROFLMAO:

Where did they bend? Same spot?

Sometimes it's the simple things. Dashlights are now a patriotic red, white and blue. And yes, before anyone says anything, I listen to Glenn Campbell! ;)

I have an excessive amount of brake dust on the driver side. Any ideas what's causing that? The first picture is driver side. Second picture is passenger side.

I've been looking to come across one of these for a long time. Thanks to @mastergunnera8, my hunt is over and I can finally replace my Smithy built winch. Now I just need to get a few small parts and give this thing a slight refresh!

You are not placing your foot in the center of the brake pedal, you are pressing to much on the left hand side…

🙂

Glad to see the death wobble in your rear view.
