NEVER USE CINDER BLOCKS TO SUPPORT A VEHICLE. THEY CAN JUST DISINTEGRATE AND END UP KILLING YOU!

I'm SERIOUS!!!!

Never ever use concrete blocks. Wood cribbing is my choice.

That looks so sketchy. After watching a friend almost get squished by his chevy because of cinder blocks, i'll never use them for that purpose. At the very least, put something in place of that bottle jack and put a piece of 2x between the cinder block and the jack stand. One bump and that thing is history.

the PO sprayed the top half of my xj with black rattle can primer, said because the clear coat was coming off and faded.. well the hood was all cracked up and is super thick underneath, not sure whats up with that but I started thinking it had hail damage and was bondo but under the hood looks fine...

anyway once I sand down the worst part of the jeep (hood) the rest should be pretty straight forward, then I'll be spraying it black two stage... !!!

Installed my CB antenna spring, and a PA speaker. Also cleaned it up, going to change the rotors and brakes this weekend or next to get ready for my next 9 months back at college, 250 miles away.

Installed shackle relocation brackets, h&t SYE on the np242, replaced DS u joints, replaced my bent tie rod with a chromoly tie rod, and installed bilsteins on all four corners.

No more driveline vibes, and a MUCH smoother ride with the proper shackle angle and good shocks. Couldn't be happier.

NW Idaho is beautiful. I'm from NW Montana, only an hour away from Idaho. Perfect area 3 months out of the year, the other 9 months are cold as hell.
