"Pacing myself" build

Well, the springs in there now are the exact same ones, but with 100K more miles on them, so there shouldn't be much of a difference. My old springs sagged maybe 1/4" at the most, which is impressive to me.

Can't wait to see the difference if any

Relocated my ammo can storage from the tailgate to under the hood.

In preparation for a future purchase,

You can use that ammo can storage to heat up burritos!

Puppies wanted to go for a jeep ride, but fitting 175lbs. of dog plus our gear was a bit tough, so I fabbed up some additional storage solutions.

I wanna go!

I welded up a basket, and fabbed some cross bars to bolt to the roll bar with muffler clamps. Worked just fine.

It's impressive how well the jeep did out on the trail. A can of black paint and it will look brand new.

Other than the episode on the Granite Bowl, I was pleased with its performance on the trail. I want to get the gas tank skid an inch higher, so more mods, lol!

Cut and weld or new skid?

New skid. Mine is pretty beat up. Since I have the Rokmen 1/2" BL, I can use their tank skid and gain some clearance. I kind of want steal back there since my jeep is vertically challenged.

Since I had the jeep on the lift yesterday to do trail triage, I decided to put the new to me rear springs in that @ac_ sent me. Took before/after measurements. Gained 1/2" of lift and now have a 1/2" rake. Granted I have no back seat and 1/4 tank of fuel and empty of gear. I'll get some real ride height measurements tomorrow to see actual lift results. Guess my old OME's were getting tired.

Well, the tie rod is definitely bent. Tie rod sleeve on the driver side is about 1/8" from hitting the sway bar bracket when I have it turned left. Suggestions on how I could tug that end and bend it back a bit? I need to keep the pull down low so it's not pulling back in an upward motion.
