Lol. More like if someone gets too close behind, it's a "Whoa, back off"
Ok, so I got some ospho and sprayed down the new to me dana 30 that I am sticking into my LJ, I also got some pics of the rear springs I am looking at installing, they either are from an JL or a JK, I dont remember but they have a definate bee hive shape to them.

Made a log book (all my vehicles get one)
Hey I do the same thing, except I use google gsheets. I have way too many vehicles and toys to keep track of it in my head.

Yep! I have a google sheet for tracking expenses and graphing the mileage but I guess I have an affectation for a paper log books in the glove box. Leftovers from the military, I suppose.
Replaced the stock track bar bolt (axle side) with a larger grade 8 bolt- 7/16"-20, 3" long yellow passivated bolt from ACE. I ground the old nut off its retaining tab, then ground the tab opening to capture the new grade 8 nut. Inserted the tab onto the nut using an socket larger than the nut (light interference fit). Drilled out the curry track bar bushing to 7/16". Installed bolt and nut and Torqued to 60 ft-lbs. Worked like a charm and certainly seems a lot beefier than the stock bolt- it should hold preload much better, thereby preventing the bolt hole enlargement issues which can cause wobble.
The stock bolt seems a bit undersized for the job, considering how much lateral load it has to resist...
Thanks @mrblaine !!

FYI, if you put an @ symbol before mrblaine, he'll see your post! Otherwise, probably not likely....
Great work on your rig. I love the Currie setup, wish I had one, but I'm happy with my ZJ conversion...
I was thinking about getting a set of those. They would match my tire cover. LOL
I bought my Jeep from a used car lot on Jan 5th. I am still waiting for the registration tags and pink slip. I'm going to wait till Friday, then give the DMV or the car lot or both, a call.

I got mine on eBay for $15.50, shipped on a slow boat from China (use the Make Offer feature).
The screws it came with were too small and too short but I found some #8x1-1/2 exterior screws that worked well.

I bought my Jeep from a private seller on Feb 5th. Yesterday was my last day to transfer the title before incurring a penalty. Lol.

Robyn's getting a ZJ conversion on her Jeep this weekend.
I added a PowerTrax no slip locker to my Dana 30 front differential.
I got my turn signal and marker light guards. Painted them and then it started raining. LOL Depending on weather, I will try to install them tomorrow. I'll get the turn signal ones on for sure. The side markers I need to drill holes so I may wait for a warmer day for that. Don't want to do to much in the cold.
need to smooth it out, but its looking good
