Well after watching several videos and reading countless articles on how to remove a o2 sensor that is stuck and stripped, the last video was the winner. Pipe Wrench to the RESCUE! Powerful grip and popped loose in a second. Keep that in your arsenal of "How To" files.

Since I have a 8.8 rear and it being slightly narrow than stock, maybe a 3.75 backspacing?

OK here is the question. I'm getting some BFG KM3 315 70 R17 tires and need rims. Looking for 17 X 9 and thinking backspacing of 4.50. Like a needle in a haystack to find something not so exspensive. Currently run a 4.5" lift with 1.25 Body lift. On a 98 TJ wrangler Sport with 5 x 45 Bolt...

When all that was done, I finally upgraded the front upper control arms. Those stocks lasted for a LOOOOONG time. But since the level of wheeling has increased over the years they finally just wore out.

Well it was a busy weekend. Got the Rear Upper Barnes4WD Control arm Brackets welded up. She drives like she is brand new! One less thing to have to worry about next time I go out.

Next on the list.....Parts have been ordered and ship today. ;)

So it was a Busy July 5th. Had my welder stop by the house and HOOK ME UP! Still need to do the back brackets but the front are Beefy Solid! Hooked it all up for a test drive and she it tight. 70mph with no shimmy or shake. Amazing job for a afternoon of welding. He even did a quick weld on...

Previous post on what broke So my previous post on what broke on my last outing.....Upgrades are now coming in. Will be posting on the latest changes as they happen. Time to call my welder and get him scheduled.

Heated seats, heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors. Never thought much of it until that one cold day. It makes it very nice.

I WISH! LOL No it's the Cherokee Lattitude. On the Plus side this thing came with the FULL package fully loaded and the color is just what we were looking for. The only thing it didn't have was a moon roof but who cares. The Turbo gives it some serious push when taking off. It was at the end of...

Tires were just added as part of upgrades. ;-) I didn't think I needed it till I did. So I kept my stock stuff until then. Worked for a while, may do the same for you. Jeeps are expensive investment as is. If you have the cash, it's worth it. If not, Don't fix it till it's broke. LOL

Bought Brand New in 2019 and drives like a Dream!

Well not know what you are running you could get a bigger lift or bigger tires and in that case there may be adjustments to your rear pinion angle if you have any vibrations. This combined with a CV shaft would make it much easier. Also Adjustable control arms is a must. This list just...

Get a SYE. It's a great upgrade for now and the future when it comes to adjustments with your axle. Plus it's a pretty easy install.

So this is our Second annual run up there and have to say, always a blast. Granted this trip caused more damage than any other but....still worth it. Wheeled with friends and my Jeep Club. MPJAI.
