Mission (partially) Accomplished!

Went from this:



to this:



Not the most impressive LCAs in the world, but hey, they were FREE! And they were sized correctly for my lift, whereas I was still sporting the stock LCAs. Thanks to someone's suggestion here, I brought along some racheting straps, which helped enormously. So, for $5 (use of the lift on a local USMC base auto hobby shop), I did another upgrade to the ol' Jeep. I'm not sure how the extra length made a difference, but it rides a little better and I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's all psychological, I dunno.

Didn't get to the adjustable track bar today. Maybe tomorrow? At least I get to drop these off in the discarded heap with the rest of the obsolete parts (cracked intake manifold, '96 intake manifold, cracked exhaust manifold, side trim, etc.)

Removed the front sway bar after the passenger link failed and bashed the bracket off the axle.

It is shockingly quiet now.

The dry pavement handling is what i would call startling. The wife is banned from driving it till I get a welder and fix it.

Pulled my radio out, got it to eject tapes again!
Put it back in, screwed everything back on

Doesn't play tapes still.
