i tried to get the rest of hte mud off the jeep. went and looked at a jeep being parted out because it had a 4" lift and 31s on it but it was way to rusty.
while doing that, my wife bought a rusty's off-road 3.5" series II lift for me.
she is trying to find a snorkel for her liberty that is less then 400 and then she will order both of us snorkles also.

my wife loves moding stuff. her liberty has lots of stuff on it and her bmw has many after market things on it.
she is mad at how expensive the parts for the liberty are compared to for the cherokee. her 2.5 inch lift was 650 bucks used and her brushguard was almost 1k bucks. it kills her to see the cherokee 3.5" lift is 345 with shocks and brushguards are 500ish.
its going to be expensive to get my axles locked like hers though. whoever ordered her liberty from the factory ordered it with the factory tru lock or something like that. i guess its like a limited slip or something? but anyways, i will wait to get a stronger rear axle with 3.73 before i do anything like that.
i like your roof rack. i bet one day i come home and she ordered her liberty and my cherokee one. she was commenting on those today while looking at lifts. that is usually a hint of things to come

thanks, i actually made it myself, it wasnt very hard to make and wasnt very expensive, majority of the cost was spray-on truck bed liner which kind of scratches off, you can see where i bungeed stuff down. if i were to make another one i would try to find something that doesnt come off as easily. its just EMT conduit, theres a few write ups on how to make em. no welding or nothin and its pretty solid.

New driver side steering ujoint

Beautiful day out (around 60*), so I took the rear canvas and the window canvas off and took it for a drive, went out to the hunting cabin to play around a bit, then drove around some more. Great day just enjoying the breeze!
