What did you do to your TJ today?

Edit: Referring to @macleanflood's post above.

You are worried about the toe, and your steering issues are being caused by that dropped pitman arm. Without a corresponding dropped frame side track bar bracket, you have bump steer. No question.

Find a used stock pitman arm and get that corrected first. That will make a bigger difference than anything else you do.

I began killing two birds with one stone. I broke my second OEM fog light mount and I was also looking for some better (better than the POS 3/4" lights that come with the Genright kit) turn signal visability. I have some Trucklite 3/4" lights that I haven't installed yet but after breaking the OEM fog mount I bought some combo fog/turn signal lights. They're only mocked up so no report on effectiveness yet.

You seem to have enough space for the JK ones in the grill, no? I think they'll look good on your setup.

That was an option but I thought I'd try something different. After breaking another plastic mount on the OEM fog light, I replaced them with the smaller fog/turn combo lights.

The mercury hit 84!!! degrees today so at lunch I dropped the commuter at the house, pulled the doors off and flipped the top back, drove the TJ and pretended it was summer.

This is a Jeep guy. Good move.

@Hog and I went halvers on 4 Vision x lights, I paid for half , then I paid for the other 2 .....they really aren’t close to being fog lights, but neither were my stock ones you could not tell were on.

He beats all I’ve ever seen at finding good buys. I’ve been spending money like a drunk sailor since we met.

Lights off

Lights on

I'm not exactly the Goddess's gift to the artform to be honest. I'm somewhere between the top end of "mediocre" and the bottom end of "mere competence". I started way too late in life, blah, blah, blah...

But I have fun! Even teaching a bit:

And verify that both axles are centered.

Tell @Hog to find me an 02' auto Jeep. I've been looking for 5 years, since I made a 3.5 hour drive (one way) and the @$$hole sold it 5 minutes before I got there with the cash. I'm still mad about that.

1" square tubing at Lowe's and not removing the wheel works just as good for an alignment. Cost me $18 and my alignment has been perfect for 4 years.
p.s. Just make sure the tubing is on equal side lugs when measuring.

You have nice Jeeps already. My wife wants one and refuses to learn to drive a manual. She lied to me. Go figure.

Man im suffering more than Elizabeth Taylor. My wife is so unreasonable that I can only have 2 and my Genright TJ to Lj kit isn’t here yet. Now I’m all sad.. It makes a tear run down my leg.

If this wife pisses me off any more, I might be married as many times as Liz.
Jeeps=19 / Wives= unlimited.

My X-wife called me asshole so many times I thought it was a term of endearment.
