sooooo recently i bought something things from the internet and friends. for 250 dollars i got 2 4in skyjacker shocks, 6 4in unnamed gas shocks, an agr steering gear box, f and r grand cherokee 4in coils (which the fronts should work on an xj), rear shackles, other odd and end stuff like a muffler tip, 2 2 way pioneer 6.5s brand new, coil spacers, 6 shock boots, wheel spacers.. it was a car load.
and on quadratec the skyjacker t case lowering kit and rough country i got the 4 in adj track bar, and the adj lower control arms for 350 and shipped in 3 days.

i get paid tomorrow (thurs) and i think ill get the quick disconnects on rc for 69 bucks. should be all done as far as i know and ready to put it on.

heres some pics.










now those tail lights. i dont personally like the look on an xj.. wondering if i could get the stock ones from a 97-01 and like 40 or 50 bucks for um. if anyones interested i maybe just sell them.

as for the hoses you see. it should be a new post but the dial in my car doesnt work for my vents. its constantly defrost. wondering if u can tell weres the ittybitty line is broke and if anyone knows if this is the vaccum for it.. its like the size of the end of a pen and comes out in the very top left hand corner of the engine bay. let me know you ideas please im tired of a foggy @@@ window.

also after im done with this lift im planning on selling these 2in old man emu shocks for maybe like 150-175. there pretty damn expensive so my price is better then 80x4.. tell me what u think. the carbon fiber is just a stick on but has been there for a long while.

Those rc quick discos suck big time. I had them for about a week and then upgraded to jks.

sandaddik2

why are the jks better? i have a set of rcs in my garage and thinkin about using them

shadowlm15

yes now looking at them they look really messy.. i dont want all that hanging around in there. i kinda like these better if the whole shaft comes out them it wont get caught up at all.. but it is kinda pricyer.. lol

Im going to have to take back what I said, I didnt know rc had come out with some new ones. I was going on there old ones. Appearently I need to freshen up on my rc products.
Old ones:

I would not go with those. They are like the old rc ones, (which is what I was refering too earlier) they are a pain to disconnect and are usually pretty noisey.

shadowlm15

yeah i dont even like the price on those rcs kinda screams "i suck" into my ear... so you recommend the jks then.. how do they disconnect?

jmm0122

They are very easy. You just pull the pin and it slides right off. The kit comes with a mounting stud to reconnect the link too once disconnected, but you have to have factory skid plates. Some of my friends just use bungee cords to keep them out of the way.

well sounds like a plan then. i had 2 buddys at work (pep boys) tell me that they never had links on there sway bar and the were fine on the highway and everything. but i drive highway for like an hour a day and was also told that ur jeep can feel floaty and when changing lanes u may feel like ur flipping over..

shadowlm15

would u throw a pic on here of them on and off just so i get the idea..

jmm0122

I dont have a camera right now. My girlfriend has it. Ill try and find a pic online.

bigjustice91

If.u wanna sell that lift, ill take it lol

Ok found an old camera and its dark outside so sorry about the poor quality pics.
Its kinda hard to see the pin in the first pic because its on the other side.

I would NEVER run without my front sway bar. When driving normally everything seems fine, but if you ever have to make an emergency move to avoid something or someone, you have an extremely high risk or rolling, especially on a lifted vehicle. If you dont believe me, take your Jeep to an empty parking lot, remove your sway bars, and practice some evasive moves. Pretend to swerve around sudden objects in the road... you will definitely feel the difference. Just be smart... don't roll your Jeep "practicing."


P.S. Remember, your choices on the road don't only effect you.
