When were your tires last balanced? All steering linkage is good? Tie rod ends?

No idea about the 4WD system on a WJ - this forum is for XJs. You might try here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f5/

If you we're going to install air lockers front and back, but could only get one done before your next trip, which one, front or back, would you install?

I'd do front, but what type of wheeling do you do?

Rausch creek is the next trip. Rocks mostly, none of that mud if I can avoid it.

Rausch lol. Oh there's my my friend. Not thick mud of course. Go front. You'll get a bunch of answers here and there's a ton of threads on this question.

I took a friend of mine down that for his first time out. We followed a stock liberty, you should have seen his eyes when that liberty's rear wheel picked up about 2feet during the down turn at the end.

My MJ gives me some damn good rear droop, but dukie said my left rear got about 3ft of air going through the washout at the top of the hill.

Question:
There was a guy making bumpers and some sick exocages, I think in Colorado, and he stopped a few months ago. Said the side work was taking all his personal time. I can't remember his name or the shop name. Anyone know who I'm talking about?
