Ran it through the DMV... failed for tire width. heehee, not much of a suprise, 35s and no flares up front. Was told no more than 3" sticking out. I'm close to 5 or 6ish on the drivers side. I'll try to attach the stock flares and maybe adjust the trackbar a hair. Oddly, they didn't question the lights on the bumper (same level as the headlights) or the bumper height (at the limit for truck height!).
What have you done to your Jeep today?

couple weeks ago installed the Rubicon JK wheels i got from a DEJA member, and went black walls out
-
-
replaced the bushings in my KOR trackbar with super-hard bushings. while the trackbar was out, i drilled and tapped it and installed grease fittings.
the old bushings were in REALLY bad shape. i didn't realize just how bad until i took them out. holy crap!
the new bushings appear to have cured my increasingly frequent death-wobble. YAY!

Started turning the 14 bolt into a 13 bolt...
Also finished cleaning up the axle tubes

It's like that Mohn fawcett commercial.
"I want you to design our house around this"
...only you're designing a Jeep around that.

Since I had wrestled the top on mine for the last rainy trailride and since it's sitting outside while I finish getting another project out of my garage I took a little time to paint my hard doors and throw them on there. Went old-school CJ style with the paint scheme and think it looks pretty nice:

Finally working on wider axles.

thinking I may need to sell her one da and buy a jk

Opened up the front diff, replaced the driver side front hub bearing, cleaned up diff, buttoned her back up and filled. That's 2 things off list of 10 (and growing) I have to do while taking some time off over the next couple months.
Oh, and I did something I'm really really ashamed of. I...I don't know how to say this...I Armor-All'd the dash. It shines. Weird. I actually vacuumed and washed it as well. Did a half ass automatic wash cleaning after Big Dogs in September and then took it out to RC a few weeks ago. Power washed it and got it looking nice (as nice as it can).
I had to vacuum it because there was half a bag of potato chips from Big Dogs in the back that were playing a game of Asteroids. Started out as a bunch of big chips and gradually starting working there was to a million tiny pieces all over the place. The little alien ship that always kicks your ass never came through but I don't know if I made it to that level yet.

leveled out the front end a bit... installed some 2" spacers (thanks Keith) and took out the factory isolators and OME isolators...
I think that the OME springs are only pushing 1.5" of lift, cause there is no way that I have 2.5" springs, 2" spacers and 1.25" body lift...
either way it works... I put in some bumpstops on the bottom of the spring pad in the front also... PITAoh and when I thought I was done... last step, bolt on track bar... the bolt stripped out!
replaced it with a bigger bolt that fits way better, possibly the cause of my shimmy... we'll see. -
