I spent 2 weeks fighting a broken steering gear bolt at one point holy crap was that miserable
OP
Whats the last thing you do after swapping an axle? connect your DS of course, I broke one of the bolts for the DS straps after 3+ weeks of working on swapping an axle, that postponed the axle swap by 4 days
Ugh wow I bet that was sooo frustrating. Least the yoke is replaceable I guess but man what a shitty part for that to happen. Although I guess it never won't be
OP
Welp, after putting the DS in I checked my pinion angle and it already is pretty dang close to where it needs to be, so I took it for a drive... zero vibes, I'm happy sad, happy because I now have eliminated my TC drop and sad because if I DID have vibes it would give me an excuse to work on my Jeep...
Well now that thats done I'm gonna slow down on the mods for a while, you know... Save Money, other than some new shocks to replace my crappy bilstiens (Black max or Rancho??) and eventually a new soft top because my current one is trash.
Oh and one other thing, for my Birthday my Dad is getting me a Savvy Front Bumper w/o grille guard, I'm very excited for that, its on backorder rn so it will be a while

I finally got around to replacing the clock spring, unfortunately I couldn't get a Mopar unit so I had to go with Dorman

Been itching do to something, so I gave her a bath...
I have to say, I didn't like it so much at first but Desert sand pearl has definitely grown on me, its very unique color...
I also ordered a Speedohealer to heal my speedo...

Oof okay. I'm not sure I'm gonna bother lol mine just sits in the garage all day almost every day anyways lol

yea I was thinking of just leaving it, but I DD mine so its annoying, I think it actually gets further off the faster I go, because I'll be going around 45 and it says 55 but if I go around 60 it says 70... (I should test this)
It’s a great looking Jeep. Do yourself a favor and hold onto it. I really wish I had kept my first car, especially because I only got about 2 grand…
Oh yeah that'd be annoying. I guess I'll see how much it bothers me to look at my GPS to check speed...
