So whenever I get over 45mph, everything in my jeep shakes and rattles like its a back massage on wheels... Is that death wobble? And It can be fixed by getin an alignment? If thats the case, then ill get em aligned. Cause i started thinking I was just gona have to live with it..

Death wobble affects your ability to steer. Most likely you have driveline vibrations due to improper pinion angle or shot driveshaft U-joints.

Double checked all the bolts from the tc swap and lift install yesterday just to be sure I left nothing loose. Test drove it some more and flexid it a bit. Just pulled the ps pump from my 88 (parts XJ) to replace the leaking one on my 93 and drilled and bolted the rail mounts for the rack to be installed... Now I've got about an hr down time till I pick the kids up from school and then I can start putting the pump and rack on. Could probably do it all in about an hr but don't want to get it tore down, run into trouble and not have a ride to pick the kids up

Just ran new speaker wire through the driver door in preparation for the new audio stuff. I could live with missing one speaker, but not if I'm paying for it! Spliced, clean, and tucked away. Now I'm stuck waiting for the Postal Service

I had a set if dynapro on my f250, I love those tires, ride quiet and hold up well. Ford diesel's are bad about cupping the fronts, they held up fantastic. I'm. Sold on them.

My emergency repair job in the desert was starting to giving out & the Jeep started dying in the middle of driving. (In May, my XJ died while I was wheeling in the desert. Turned out that the insulation on the front O2 sensor wires had crumbled away and were shorting out, causing the auto shutdown fuse to blow & trip the ASD relay).

Rather than repair a repair, I just replaced the entire O2 sensor (mainly for the new wiring) and rebuilt the harness. It hasn't died on me yet!

Onwards to fixing the newly acquired Death Wobble! JEEP...Just Empty Every Pocket.

Built a $6.00 heatshield over muffler and cat. 100% better. Reflects heat really well. Used a piece of ducting sheetmetal from the big box store.
