Beautiful Jeep. It just sits there, though.. I don't know if it's even touched dirt.


As Classic and I learned after the farm, the locals will give you plenty of following distance once you hit the highway with mud/stone packed tires.
Lmao!!! I remember that.

There are shims in the front control arm body side brackets, yes.

Adjustable control arms make them obsolete.

LOL just kidding but seriously my bone stock larado has DW. Front end is tight, tires are good, I've spent a lot of money till I finally gave up.
I'll prolly turn it into a trail rig.
I would definitely do this if my XK (thats not a typo, Commander) wasn't such a turd about towing. I don't think the wife would like it if i towed it with her Audi either.

It's perfect. Been aligned 3 times with same results. I've suspected the track bar mount to to frame to be bad. But I have not ground cracks or anything. I know some XJ's rolled off the assembly line with DW. I guess those where meant to be trail only someday LOL

My bet is the track bar mount. I had deathwobble... turns out i had cracked it in two pieces. What kind of aftermarket stuff you got?

I hear that. I had to get a towing vehicle to do it. I was gonna use the ZJ but its not up to hauling a XJ.

I just got an alignment again yesterday when I had the new drive shaft put on. Mike at Appalachian Offroad said the tow and caster were good.
