Well, 5 pages and we have yet to see any significant mod

Ive been looking at some other build threads and comparing their first 5 pages to mine... lol, not good

But, i do have a very small update...

Santa brought me some goodies!!


and i actually did something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got some Baja's and i luv em!!

i mounted the switch with an oem screw that holds the whole dash thingy up...

They were super easy to put in, and i didnt use a relay, i think it'l be fine that way but, i dont really know the pros and cons... anyway, im pretty pumped

if it makes you feel any better. all my mods up to this point besides my lights(and maybe a few other things) were forced by either me breaking stuff or it needing(direly) to be fixed

matt82

they look great and shouldn't hurt to run em without a relay

ZachsXJ

Bad idea. end of story.

Please do yourself a favor and run a relay. Its not hard and doesn't take long, and in the long run could save you from having an electrical fire.

Lights will not be affected by other components draw with a relay also. Use it. Nice using existing holes and hardware to mount switch. An old street racing bud used to tell me to: "never drill or cut holes to mount things. Use what the factory gives you for a clean install."

Leo for the bushings most 4X4 shops should have them in stock,most bushings like that are universal.

good find to

Buy new u bolts. You should NEVER reuse u bolts.

ZachsXJ

I've heard that said but never with an explanation. care to enlighten me? I myself have used, and know multiple people who have re-used u-bolts without issue(not saying its safe, just my experience)

t-man

Cause every time you torque them you strech them a little. And they will fatigue with multiple torques.

And besides, they are cheep...like $5 bucks each, and those 4 little bolts hold your jeep to the driveline.

Looks like a nice kit, with it being 3", i would avoid installing the t-case drop for now, and if you find you have vibes, put it in after, and if not keep it in.

As far as the sway bar drop, I have no experience with those,

I dont see a trac bar? Get that trac bar bracket installed and purchase yourself an adjustable trac bar. You will want one
