Didn't shake me up much...but scared the living hell out of my wife.lol and the owner of the horses is a complete jerkoff and thinks he owns everything so he just lets his horses and cows roam anywhere.

With the spacer did you run intoan issue with the lugs being to short. Mine didn't seem like there was enough bite on them

I questioned that myself. I haven't had any issues though. Im paranoid and just check them from time to time. And I have yet to have any come loose

Discovered the little spots of oil underneath the Jeep are now become much bigger spots (pools?). Sigh. A quick inspection shows a leak around the oil filter adapter. The biggest pool is right under where the main seal is. I know the valve cover is leaking, but it's an awful lot of oil to be coming out of just the valve cover. Damn. I'm trying to save up to get her painted. This isn't helping!

I'm still waiting to see one of these flying deer I keep seing signs for. I've only seen the walking/running ones.

Only thing today was to put the rear spacers on. It's drizzly and just need a break from the work. I am looking for a 4.0L motors though...need one.

My grandma was run over by the proverbial reindeer once. She was driving through a state park late at night, and a deer jumped on the hood of her car. I'm sure it planned to keep going, but it rolled over the roof due to the car's momentum. Totaled the car and the deer, but she was alright.

yea mine looks pretty short as well. Just check them periodically and you shouldn't have an issue. Any spacer you're running should be hubcentric so the studs only see tension loading. 5-6 threads fully engaged should be enough.

Bought it a present off craigslist...

Clayton Adjustable Trackbar - dual Johnny Joints and HD frame mount, + custom frame brace, + 2 month old Gr8 ubolts and Gr8 spring plates


....$140 including travel closer to me and tolls.

SCORE! This thing is MASSIVE. That's a 2.5" JJ at the frame mount for reference
