LOL - yeah, I think those jounce stops have outlived their usefulness
hmmm, I don't know... it seems some duct tape or hot glue you could've patched those up and painted with some yellow plasti-dip would've saved you a few bucks for other mods.
Check both idler pulleys in the center right under the alternator! Those were the first to go in my JK and after getting it very muddy. Got real noisy too.
That was my thought too. Though I avoided the mud best I could Boone rd was always watered and created a fine spray of sand and mud that got into everything. Maybe I'll start with spraying things off first. The noise didn't start until after KOH
Sorry to hear about the windshield, it seems like a never ending process of replacing them. My JK needs a new one. 🫤
So clean. If I build another daily it will look something like this.
Where did you end up mounting it? I've been spending the last week trying to decide.
Nice lookin Jeep. I can’t tell from the pics but have you had a chance to get those rock sliders in some rocks yet? How are they working out?
I have yet to scratch them. Haven’t been wheeling since I installed them last year. It’s been a while. I had a set on my 2 door JLR and beat them up pretty good. They will never be as good as a frame mounted set but probably one of the strongest cab mounted set.
I like using CRC Industries Freeze-Off over WD-40 for crusty old bolts.
Yeah. Some bolts were mushroomed so I had to clean them up to get the impact socket on. But frankly, I thought getting the skid off would be worse that it was. The tough one was the OEM transfer case bolt on the passenger side. The one that bolts into the gas tank skid. The nut is welded into the skid top-side, and of course the impact busted the weld loose so the bolt just spun. Luckily there is just barely enough room to get a 21mm socket with breaker bar down onto that nut, then impact from the bottom. That’s when my breaker bar decided to give up the ghost.
if you have a can of compressed air, turn it upside down, insert the red straw alongside the bolt and spray until it's nice and cold, wear gloves to protect your fingers.
