Jeep looks good. I'd try to get silver if I bought another 97+ (that or gun metal blue color)

What are you using for the d-rongs you have in front? I like em.

I have been battling death wobble for a while now with my brand new tires and between the bbs and my driveway alignment today it's run smooth as glass so far



I never plan on paying someone to balance my tires ever again lol

I got a 5,000 ct .25 gram bb case for 15$ from Walmart.
Just divided it into 4 and put Em in. It's about 8.5 oz in each tire

Ive been told not to get the biodegradable ones. Make sure the beads are solid center and not the ones with an air bubble in the middle. .25g will work.

I've been getting very frustrated with my project recently.. Today I drilled another hole in the floor to drop a crossmember bolt in.

I also attempted to still out the crossmember bolt I snapped but just f'ed it all up. Drill bit got way off center and I cannot get a good enough grip to turn it with vise grips. Probably just going to have to drill another hole in the floor a few inches over from the other.

Oh and I also rounded off my UCA nut. Spent like an hour trying to get that off with vise grips but didn't get it and couldn't figure out a way to get my grinder up in there. Ahh, shoot. School starts in 2 weeks and the jeep is not going to be done soon enough to get me there everyday. I need a second car ASAP.

New ignition coil, New pcm, New cps, crank no start no spark, fuel pump relay constantly clicks rapid, swapped it with another relay same thing happens, stop the clicking and I'll get initial spark only for the first revolution then nothing. Such a fun day. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Sat here and wished I had put my money into my Jeep and not my Stealth. The Stealth seems to be a never ending money pit, fix one thing and something else turns up

My rear view mirror fell off the other day. So I wanted to reattach it up higher so it didn't sit right in the middle of the windshield.

Got a glue kit for it. Stuck the metal part on there after applying the glue, it was up so I high that I couldn't get the mirror on. The glue set in 30 seconds not 30 mins like the directions said.

Had to drop the front of the headliner and force of back over it.

But I'm happy with how high it is.
