Lol, I try to snap a pic of the Jeep at every 1k mile mark to compare the little changes, accompanied by a pic of the odometer. I was thinking 'Wow, I got home perfectly at 144k and didn't have to pull over for a pic or anything OCD like that.' ...And then it rolled when I backed up 20 feet.
OCD=Obsessive Cherokee Disorder. Not sure who first posted that, but it's an official term now

Well because I broke stuff... My parents decided that because my Dad knows people because he's a doctor. That its going to a alignment (it does more too but thats not really important) shop because my dad knows the owner hes taking it there coz stuffs broken...
Had no say in it. So I still dont have my jeep after doing my Lift...

I do obsess, but I'm also tracking how fast I'm running it up. I just posted 143k on August 29, and I went 5,000 miles in 90 days before that lol

Things that follow you home.
Slipped in some 3 deg wedge blocks to correct the dif angle, offset the hole and bolt head on the blocks 5/8" to shift the axle ahead and keep the tires centered in the wells and the driveshaft insertion at the slip yoke. Picked up 13/16" at the wedge block mid point. Need to fab shock block mount extension as shock length is limiting down movement and realization of the total lift. Next weeks project. $2 children charity tennis ball, just what I needed to soften the whip smack ariel to back door. Nuff done, went to club BBQ and a trip thru the pit, many enter, few return, lololol, any day you don't break is a good day. Great BBQ, came home to find daughter has a new addition to the family, no name as yet. Gotta lover her, nice temperment, the cat "Jeeps" is not impressed.

The bumoper is also dented in pretty bad so when i do the repairs im gonna have to straighten that out. but do i even need this if i go with a new rock crawer bumper??? no right cause thatll be the new bumper.
