Looks like the weather won't be too bad with the exception of being a little chilly!

Well got the propane tank filled for the grill today and fired it to make sure it works. Gathered up all my recovery equipment and put it back in the jeep.

I've put together a build thread on my jeep since i've started on the lift and other stuff, here's the link.

Finally got off my butt and installed my 1" drop x-member yesterday afternoon and my vibes went away. Everything I've read on here told me a TC drop was'nt necesary for a 3" lift, I beg to differ. The boy and I are pumped for Sunday, can't wait to go play!

It appears to be pretty tough, my only concern is with the TC dropped an inch it looks like it's begging to catch on something. I'm interested in getting your opinion on it.

I went with an aftermarket 1" drop crossmember that gave me the drop without losing any clearance over factory at the crossmember as well as the edges being rolled to avoid it getting hung up. Took care of my vibes and seems top notch. Thanks for your advice, I'll definately look at that when I lift more.

what did you go with then? i need to do a sye or a drop and i don't want to do the drop because i loose clearance. but it sound like the one you got does not loose anything.
