My new control arm angles sure improved the performance….especially at speed.

Overall, I was happy with how the front suspension performed yesterday 🙂

Well, good news. My XJ is ready to go out on NYD (as close as it’s gonna get anyways)! It’s ugly and might fall apart, but it should be a good time

….at least the front axle is pretty

…after these pics were taken, I added tow hooks to the front bumper and painted it black.

All I have left to do before NYD is put the cable back on my winch and get my gear back inside the XJ

I might actually make NYD….still going to be a close call.

started my jeep for the first time in almost 6 months today…..fired up with no problems

steering is pretty much done

PS cooler relocated

I also got the axle shafts, unit-bearings, and brakes all installed again.

It’s getting down to crunch time…less than a week before NYD. I’m not sure if I’m going to make it yet…..tomorrow will be an important day.

bye bye old trackbar

hello shorter one. small RE joints on both ends

the good news……no clearance problems with the trackbar. worked out perfectly.

the bad news, my trackbar brace interferes with the drivers side UCA mount, so I have to take it off for now, until I figure out what to do about it

sitting on all 4 tires for the first time in months

made some good progress tonight.
