So I’ve spent the last month making some final decisions for my Jeep (Recovering from knee surgery makes for a lot of time for thinking). I have had everything in since last week and finally got around to starting on it today. I am still in recovery from knee surgery, so this ain’t gonna go fast. I didn’t think to take any before pictures, or any other pictures from today’s work unfortunately. If anyone has a request for pics of today’s work, I will be happy to do so when I get back to it. I would also like to say that I have never had/used air tools before now. Since I also have some sort of tear in my shoulder (discovered during MRI, explains the other pains I’m having), as part of my project I decided to upgrade my air compressor and purchase an air ratchet and an impact wrench. I must say I wish I had done this years ago.
If this isn’t enough information, feel free to ask for more details. I have a 2000 TJ Sport with 6cyl and 5 speed manual, soft top. My intentions are to use the factory Canyon rims with 33x10 tires. Regear will be in the future. I was going to do a full piece together, but decided to mix and match a little with a “kit”. This is what I got in.
DPG OME Ultimate Kit with Light Coils (Front 2932/Rear 2941) minus the BL and MML
Savvy control arms
Savvy 1.25” BL
MORE Bombproof MML
OME Spring spacers front and rear
Replacement Factory style spring isolators front and rear
Crown body mounts
New transmission mount
New jounce bumpers
Currie Johnny joints for front upper control arm bushings
I just got finished with the Body mounts, BL, and MML. Took her out for a ride and noticed my shifter is having problems. I found that the problem is the shift boot bunches up. I’m going to try a zip tie to pull the rubber boot up higher on the stick to prevent the bind. I also will be loosening the clamps and pulling the gas fill neck up so I can screw it back in from removing for the BL. That’s all I can think of right now and will read this in the morning to make sure I didn’t leave anything out.
