Ok so I know how you know you are a true Jeeper! Im broke! Ive got a mod wishlist on Amazon piling up! Im selling my body, (blood people come on,) financially making better decisions, (dawn dishwashing soap does dishes, laundry, and Johnie!) And volunteering for every honeydo that can, or be made to involve driving my Jeep. So my crippled up Super Hot Girlfriend said she was almost outa shampoo, so I couldnt have that and immediately rose to the challenge. Well Harbor Freight was on the way to Walmart, (kinda,) and low and behold there where 13 dollar halogen off-road Sasquatch spotting lights, cause thats the button on the rocker panel that wasnt filled! Blau blau, I love Harbor Freight and its only to fill the empty holes on my light bar bracket until they let me sell plasma again so I can get the LED ones.
To run the wires I gotta pull the wipers, pull the cowling, and hook em to the pod. Yea baby, clicky clicky! So I almost get caught pouring her lotion down the sink so I can get sent on another mission when weve been advised its gonna rain.... No problem Ive got a super cool android deck running my radar, Im gone!
Well I get an idea to check out Lowes as well for a cargo box I can strap in the back seat and lock when Im making multiple stops for stuff. See the blue dot, thats me, no rain near me yet. Run inside Lowes, get lots of inspiration and a footlocker that fits the backseat and come out to spitting rain. No problem I can out run it. Throw the box in back reach in my pocket for the key and no go? Search everywhere and its starting to drizzle. Run back toward lowes and as Im running I feel something bouncing on my chest? Its my key in my shirt pocket, I never wear a shirt with a picket.... Its raining, the Alien shade mesh top makes a beautiful constant mist, pour, mist inside my Baby. The touchscreen android deck is wet and will not respond to my finger trying to turn it off which can only be done by the screen. I tear outa the parking lot, no gas station in site, its 5:15, and the first red light outa Lowes is backed up through the intersection. I grab a pair of gym shorts I had under the seat, its pouring, and wipe the screen and get the deck to close, I unscrew the CB knobs and pull and I didnt put in male female disconnects so its hardwired in.. we sit through another light... oh and guess who forgot to put the windshield wipers back on the Jeep? Johnie Awesome thats who. The light finally turns green I cant see squat, its pouring with no shelter in sight but Yang Sings Chinese reaturants awning for the front door! Yep Im on it, soaked, looking at the new deck and CB, which I had been wiping with the gym shorts consistently, pretty much wet! I 20 something bus boy comes out and Im thinking hes going to tell me to move but says hey do you need aome trash bags and duct tape? This is an Asian restaurant and we have the best. I said sure and they had gorilla tape? Who knew? He told me a story of his convertable getting flooded and ruining eveything, he brought towels, we wiped down everything, including the dash with the low fuel light burning bright, you gotta be kidding me. Well 30 minutes later it slows down enough for me to risk it to a gas station. You know when you look through a screen and if you move your head back and forth you can see better? Same way with a Jeep window wet on both sides. It never quit raining, I got gas, held my chest out high with all the stares as I bobbed my head back and forth, up and down, running down hwy 190 in the rain! So now I feel the initiation into Jeep Nation has come full term. We have broke bones rock crawling, redefined our priorities such as skipping lunch all week to put 50 bucks toward mods, and drove naked in the pouring rain! I have arrived and it feels soooo good!

Ok tell me what you think...found 36 Super Swampers with steel rims for 400 bucks in Jeep trader! Ive had a complex running around on 31's and no lift, its just not my personification of my Jeep self. So I pick em up in Dallas and I cant just let them sit there and I cant flip the bill for a six inch lift but the need is strong, I gotta get them on there....and Autozone to the rescue!
So
Thats right, 80' style! Somebody stop me!!!
Yea Baby! We're pushing this build! And remember how much fun you had as a kid putting a playing card on the spokes of your bike? Well Im reliving the sound!

Ok guys does anyone have any magic measurements in getting the axle where it should be or just eyeball it in the center?
You mean front to back? Measure the wheel well and divide by two. Or eye ball it.
36” tires on te stock axles? I hope you don’t plan on doing any off-roading!

Russ Pottenger, (Bishop Buell Racing) is working the head now, but the holidays might put delay in the assembly.

Im leaning toward 1 ton axles and running 44's, I like the look but Im on the lookout for an explorer axle to start with.

The kit came with a transfer drop but Ive been reading up on setting the proper camber so I will be experimenting with that. Im sure the future holds a SYE. I dont like the transfer drop but financially its whats happening now! Lol. Time to go sell more plazma!
OP
I have front and rear uper and lower adjustable control arms and track bars, looks like alot of trail and error before I understand it all. The how to section here gave me a start on understanding camber. Also I think Chris gave me the service manual which comes in pretty handy!
I think we're gonna need an intervention for this guy jeeples.
