Hello Everyone, it was actually after my third motorcycle crash and a come to Jesus moment. The Tacoma was sold along with the bike within two weeks and I bought an LJ the third week. Mostly because it reminded me of the Humvee (HMMWV) I drove in the Army 22 years ago and with no doors or top made me feel like I was on a big slow safe motorcycle. It was stock on bald tires when i bought it in Fresno California, so I did what anyone would do when you buy your first jeep. Lifted and 33" Tires please!
Like life, I wish I knew then what I know now.
I do light wheeling (Desert) and the beach, this is a weekend toy. Over the next 12 months we will do some camping so I wanted to be more capable of some terrain besides desert.
I've had 4 wheel drives for years because the Army made me that way but never one that had so many aftermarket options.
Well, about two weeks ago I was literally driving to a local shop to ask about pricing on gears and the Death Wobble started. Terrifying!! Some research on youtube and the web has advised me to change my ball joints (spicer), probably Currie tie rod/drag link, currie or JKS trac bar? Hopefully that cures it.
Comments and suggestions would be appreciated to help guide me. Thanks
My plan is to add
-JKS or RE Disconnects
-Maybe Novak shifter cable cuz getting into 4hi is a little tough unless there is a cheaper way?
-MetalCloak Overline for the 35's in the garage
-Truetrac front locker
-build up my axles but I know that will cost $$$$
