So did you have a bracket that allowed the heim to mount virtically?

Ya, i cut of the OEM mount and used a replacement bracket but lots of guys just make 2 tabs. Done for other reasons not specifically for TB heim life. My Metalcloak heim did not last long at all even in the vertical config.
OP
Got my EMF heim in, it's really beefy. Also got my OME 10mm trim spacers in. Natually I had to install everyting as the sun was shining and I was pumped. I'm happy to say that I'm DONE with the front end suspension, the spacers were just the little nudge I wanted, so happy!
I think that last pic is a potential "Ride of the Month" winner, lemme tell ya. A TJ in its natural habitat...Everett, WA!!!
OP
Another silly update:
- I got my Rubicon flares at last
- I made new 3/4" bump stops for when I add different shocks...
Now I need to figure out how to put a little additional bend in my MC front track bar.
And I NEED to quit dragging my feet and just pull the rear end. It's just daunting.

You must be running out of projects to do on the TJ. That box by the flares labeled "Jeep Parts" is embarrassingly small...Another silly update:

Silly man. That's not a shed. It's an apartment!
OP
Haha! Those are parts that came off of the Jeep that I'm holding on to (rear seatbelts, etc.)You must be running out of projects to do on the TJ. That box by the flares labeled "Jeep Parts" is embarrassingly small...
I have parts on order I swear!!
It's not a shed! It's my Jeeps house
Pretty sure he was referring to the patchwork quilt of a building in the background pic of your Jeep. You know, the one that's the stuff of Martha Stewart's nightmares...It's not a shed! It's my Jeeps house

Yep. That's one of those Everett mansions that you'll find registered with the Historical Society. We have a few of them here in our lovely city. I'll be the first to admit that it's an acquired taste, but it's obviously growing in popularity, as you can now find similarly designed structures all along our sidewalks and empty lots.

Yes Everett has become such a Happening place to live now. My memory of it is a LOT different than it is now.
But I also use to cruise Colby in the mid 70's. Of course by the time I returned from Germany almost all places had OUTLAWED Cruising on it's city streets.
OP
I know it looks rough, but it keeps the rain off my head.

only if you stand near that side during the storm

Well my "phase 2" has commenced! The GTS is out, and so is the axle. Now the plan is to put my custom skid up there and bolt it in place and finish welding it. Then I'll start figuring out how to cut the rear spring pearches off and re-welding them so my bump stops line up. Then paint everything and put it all back together.
