Just went to 7-11 for a quick beer run to watch ice road truckers that I recorded. Little tip for you younger jeepers. If you ever drive in the rain with a failing alternator pulley, don't let her sit for 24hrs before you start her up again.

She barely started and cried like a banshee and didn't quiet down for a few minutes. Guess I should just change my alt already and maybe throw in an optima yellow top while I'm at it and redo clamps too

Oil change and lube at Jiffy Lube (they missed half the fittings). Five tire rotation at home. And an air box modification for cooler air intake when working the rocks. Pics.

It's the track bar... At the end closest to the passenger tire it has some play... Can I just replace that bushings or do I have to replace the whole thing

It's stock like everything else on the jeep besides my 2 inch lift and 30/9.50/15 tires... And on a very tight budget right now... So trying to do what's feasible

Haha I was thinking the same thing. My tires and windshield will be on hold now so I'll probably put windshield last and tires in the middle. But at least if I save right I can get the battery which is on my future list and the clamps

Is the hole wallowed out? Or the actual track bar is messed up?

Looks angry as all hell. Your stance is wide... what kind of spacers (if any) are you running? I want to do the same with my 3" lift on 33s to help elevate rubbing at the front.
