I'm a mother****in pro.

Hit a patch of ice at the top of the curve in the road and bailed into the shoulder to avoid oncoming cars. Controlled the slide by pumping my brakes til I stopped.

You honestly think the YJ won't be involved?

Finished ordering my tax return parts for the YJ while I was at work today.
- Metalcloak Arched front fenders with 4" flares
- TruckLite LED headlights
- M.O.R.E. boomerang shackles (front and rear)

Should flex well once I disco the swaybar and torque the shackles to proper specs. The boomerangs prevent the front shackles from inverting and give more clearance in the rear so it travels more before contacting the rear cross member. I splurged and got the 5/8" lift shackles with greasable 9/16" bolts.

Some of these with a 4" flare:

And some of these (for front and rear):

So the middle bolts in the shackles. Eggsplain? Does it just hold in a pin that limits travel?
