What did you do to your TJ today?

I HATE rusted crap. Nicely done...

Yea on a side note fuck Moog track bar bushings too lol I fought and fought trying to get it back in the rear mounts. Finally got it into position and couldn’t get the bolts through the holes in the new bushings. I pried and beat on it and cussed at it several times. Finally pulled it back out to find the sleeves in the bushings are smaller than the diameter of the bolts 🤦🏼‍♂️ Just got to work and measured them with a digital micrometer and find it’s 2/1000th of an inch too small. Drilled the sleeves out and will re install track bar tomorrow.

Looks like you installed two Moog K3176 bushings and those fit one end of the front track bar . Moog K80034 comes with two bushings with 3/4 " holes with the proper sleeve .
K80034 (What you needed)

K3176 (what you installed) see the difference?

Yea I see that now. The hazards of buying from Amazon I suppose. Hopefully after boring the sleeves out last night I’m able to get it back in there today.
