The Silver Fox LJ Build

The upper perches were moved so the springs are not bowed. Follow @hosejockey video on BFH Garage. It’s a great video. Everything you need to know is there.

The outboard is a lot of work. Follow @hosejockey61 video on BFH. If you don’t have a rear trackbar it’s much better when you’re doing the upper perch relocation because you can actually get them right without fudging and that helps get your outboard towers closer to 90* to the lower control arm. Having the midarm already in play is nice, but make sure your axle is centered, pinion angle set, square to frame, the whole nine yards. It’s a lot of measuring and remeasuring. Have plenty of jack stands and jacks. Keep at it till you’re sure. Cycle, cycle, cycle. Don’t burn anything in till you know you are good. Just painting is a lot once it’s all in. Boy am I happy most of it is done. Should have the rear all back together by next Thursday.

I agree. I’ve been around this forum just long enough to be very impressed. I’ve seen some cool builds on here.

There are a lot of big builds going on in build threads and some with good clean work. The forum has definitely grown. Hopefully there will be some better built TJ's out there as a result. A lot from the past look like crap, ride like crap, and are crap!

Nice catch! LOL

Hey! How are you guys holding up in TN with all the ice and fallen trees?

Doing well. Not too much damage here, and we've not lost power. We lost a lot of big branches, and there are quite a few big trees down in the neighborhood.

But, a bunch of places in TN did not fare so well:

That looks terrible Jeff. Prayers for folks out there and the rescue and support personnel managing the disaster.
