Dukie, can you explain the benefit to the double sheer over the standard? I've been trying to find a comparison, but I haven't seen one online. For example, is the IRO double sheer track bar worth the extra $50, and why or why not? (Not panicking here, just want to be informed lol)
Trackbar mount/TRE not happy:
Double Shear is happy:

stock is single shear, it can put alot of stress on the mount... ive cracked 3 stock trackbar mounts. as you put heavier tires, and lift, the double shear is tougher and more stable. less chance you get death wobble
i can sodder (typing phonectically lol) just fine and i have already done a lot of electrical with my jeep (C101 removal write up http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthrea...#post245423882) so im not afraid to jump in with that. its just the individual boxes are so screwed up... besides, i gotta get used to this harness cause like i said, im going to make a replacement engine harness with new plugs and everything. then im gonna make one for all of the exterior accessories, and then interior. its definitely going to be a while, but it needs to be done... i mean, i prolly have the only completely rust proof 87 waggy limited (PO had it ziebart'd) so im gonna slowly replace everything...

If you want a reliable winch on the cheap, go with the Superwinch XRC8. Well worth the $299 asking price. With my ZJ being heavier I went with the XRC10

The XJ is another story. I have it tagged Historic so I don't have to worry about emissions, ect. I want to simplify the harness for neatness and troubleshooting purposes, cause right now it looks like a bunch of spagetti going no where under the hood

oh yeah, same here. there is way too much slack in the harness, mine was melted everywhere. the big part will be the wiring for the fuse box under the dash, windows, all that jazz. thats why right now im just concentrating on the motor and ECU. Then it will be the TCU's turn, then everything else. i figure why not, if people can benefit from the tinkering on my jeep, might as well share.
