New exhaust, lucky. Looks great. Even has attaching points for rock sliders.

You were able to measure the installed spring? You are one spry old dude!(post #8)

Where are you measuring? Are you sure what you are measuring is identical on both sides? Is it the frame that leans? Is it the body that leans? Are the body mounts new to eliminate any bushing sag? Did the factory make sure everything is exactly identical on both sides? Quit fretting...

Aren’t the Sahara flares the same as Rubicon? If so, no cut. If not, then experiment.

Absolutely try some new shocks. As mentioned, replace the bushings in what you have to freshen up the movement. Biggest thing might be to let some air out of those bricks your riding on, they don’t have much bulge in the sidewall.

I concur, Rough Country. @TheBoogieman should be able to confirm this just by looking at the paint quality. Also, those are Bilstein shocks.

Yep. Took them off to wash. Easy enough to do.

I sure hope you have that rig secured already. It will be gone by Saturday if it’s just a phone call agreement.

That guy is good at building go-fast machines for sure. He’s even a pro level driver. I was just making fun of the carnival atmosphere of the event. It would actually be a good time because… girls in bikini’s!

@Jerry Bransford is going to have so much fun in Florida attempting those telephone pole gardens. Gotta go forties on tons!! Careful not to spill your margarita, might lose the little umbrella.

What a score! Great find. Too bad we aren’t closer, I have a frame in my shed.

There is a different reaction between gas charged and standard hydraulic shocks/stabilizers. Yours don’t look like they are leaking or dented/damaged. If that is the case, they are probably good. Just maybe not what you are wanting in your ride performance. Others with more info/knowledge on...

Nice work, you just cleaned your top and got rid of some oxidation. Lesson for all, sometimes cleaning is all it takes. Looks good. Soft bristle brush and Murphy’s Oil Soap does wonders. I used to use that all the time when detailing cars that had vinyl tops, yeah that long ago. Never...

Just keep driving it around for another month or so and it will go away.

Soon people won’t even have to drag their fat asses out of the Jeep, except to get more snacks when fueling up for the trail. https://spicerparts.com/parts/axle/commercial-off-highway/central-tire-inflation-system-ctis

Fuck those Plovers. Don’t they know you need to drive?! Rig up some electrified curb feelers, that will teach them to nest on your beach!! And it would be cool.

Well, at least John & I were on the same page back in the day. I sold that CJ and bought a couple of new Mountain bikes to replace my outdated ones. John Currie kept at it and progressed the sport of wheeling.

I don’t deny what you’re saying. I had my CJ-7 w/Detroit in the back and a Powr lock in the front and man-o-man was it tough in the turns, especially without power steering. I would slip it out of 4 into 2WD to make the corners. Must have been that locker out back making things tough, I had...

It’s nice to be able to unlock the front when turning, especially on tight trails. The front will want to go straight. You will get good at slipping it into 2WD for turning action. My CJ-7 didn’t Have power steering, that would have helped a lot I suppose with similar set up. If I had to...

The cost of destruction vs U-Haul, your choice. It might make it. You’re young, it’s an adventure right? U-Haul $1200-1500. Spring break ain’t cheap!
