05 Sport build (Mid Life Crisis)

Ordered the rear JKS track bar and angled bracket to get the bar out of the gas tank.

I got the rear track bar and bracket in last night and the axle is still a little driver side. Need to adjust it again. The bar is out of the corner of the tank but hitting the skid a little on the passenger side now.

I had to cut the spring perches for shock clearance. A droop driver side hit and dented the shock body.
Also took the doors off and the po had the mirror brackets installed already so my wife ordered mirrors for them.

my lovely wife bought me a radio for Father’s Day coming up and some mirrors for when door less. Also wired up the kicker sub with my Sony amp and sounds pretty good.

Coming together nicely. After having black front fenders as well, color matched look so much better. I’d like to do my rear corners as well.

I thought I had a bad battery after a couple clicks clicks. I let charge all day. Went and tried to start it the next day and it cranked. So we took it out for a Sunday drive.

I got the rear control arms in today and the old one out. The old upper joint were tore and in need of replacing.
I’m still waiting on jj washers to get here and I already have moog front upper bushings I’m putting in also. I’ve still got to install the Zj tie rod and do another alignment.

Went to prentice Cooper this weekend and played in the mud. My girls had fun but I got to do all the cleaning. I also found out I’m in need of transfer case cable upgrade. I had to manually shift from 2hi to 4 lo and back to 2 hi before leaving.
