Not to much serious off roading down here in SWFL, trails but nothing to serious. I’ll start with some adjustable links. Thanks.

After a long hiatus from the TJ build. I am back at it again. This is a budget build. Paid $2500 for the Jeep last year and started to restore / refresh it but lost interest due to life events and some other builds I had going on. The Jeep was bed lined by the previous owner which was not my...

Thanks for the info everyone

Thanks for the info, I’ll most likely just keep the drums in the rear.

How difficult is it to replace the hubs on our TJ’a, also while at it is it worth it to switch to disc breaks or just stay with drums? Please also drop some good quality replacement parts. Thanks.

I fear it will be the same. But I’ve only had an issue with one bolt so far on the project so maybe I’ll get lucky

Haven’t tackled it yet, not a lot of time for the build lately. Parts are in. Just have to find time to install them. From what I have read and watched online it’s pretty straight forward for the lower arms but the uppers seem to be a little more tricky. We’ll see how it goes.

Traced the clunk to the rear control arms, going to be replacing all. Anyone have recommendations? Just need a solid product. Not going to be any serious off-roading. Not much of it to do down here in SWFL.

1997 TJ with a 4 inch lift, need new control arm bushings, can anyone recommend a good product that won’t kill the ole wallet, trying to keep the build as budget friendly as possibly whilst still using quality parts.

Will check this this weekend. Thanks.

I know the U-Joint on the front driver side is bad, could this...

It really pops more in person, can’t really see the flake on camera, also has a slight color shift through a few different oranges depending on lighting

Not sure what brand it really was, was told it was rhino liner, but it was annoying to get off either way.

Aircraft stripper and just go to town Scraping, that was the key. Took a long time. Then sanded down all the paint to bare metal, no primer. 13 coats of black under the color. About 10 coats of burnt copper alloy pearl on top. Ordered from dipyourcar.com great customer service, was told they...

Some pics out in the sun. More to follow.
