Mark, I don't think an MJ visor will work on yours. That's what I've heard, anyway. Lots of guys to Libby light bars on MJs, but I've read that it won't work on XJs due to roof curvature.

Not a problem. From what I understand, I don't have to remove the springs or shocks to get to the bushings mounted on the axle which will save me some time and effort. I've researched the upper control arm bushing removal and installation and I've heard some horror stories.
Some people have cut them out, air chiseled them out, built home made pullers that require welding a cap, hammered them and even used a ball joint press. I decided I didn't want to deal with the headaches and just bought the tool.
I wouldn't even ask for the 12 pack but I figure it'll help pay for the tool in the long run. Think of the 12 pack as payment for being "keeper" of the tool for the MD Jeepers.

dont ya think you should put that in your build thread? lol
speaking of which, the tire with the hole in the sidewall I'm going to use as a spare since it does still hold some air, and maybe a plug/patch will help it hold a little better, better than just throwing it out.

should work as a trail spare, sidewall patches are frowned upon for street use.

Could it be a control arm or bushing? My upper control arm bushing are shot so every time I hit the brake pedal there is a thunk and it feels like someone is tapping my floorboard with a hammer. The axle is actually shifting and causing a thumping sound.
