better way would be to get replacement bolts, and then get a nut so you could lock the bolt in place once you found the right adjustment.

Like I said, its not bad enough for me to have to worry about the hassle. A new set of LCAs or Long Arms would also fix the problem.

My Jeep isn't going to stay like it is for very long, so I'm leaving it the way it is for now.

Kinda my philosophy with my Jeep, if its going to be upgraded in the future and isn't a serious issue right now, its not worth dealing with till I upgrade.

Well, I cut all the rust out of my right rear quarter, went to the hardware store, Bought a sheet of aluminum, a 4ft long strip of aluminum, some rivets, some automotive undercoating, and tin snips. Now I have my XJ sitting in the garage with the right rear tire off, and parts of the aluminum strip are in as supports and mounting areas for my sheet metal which is going to be riveted on when i get back from work tomorrow. My project on that (after a week of delays) will be done as soon as tomorrow night

I just bought this 92 XJ and the previous owner had the viair and the tank behind the seat and a shelf over it. Well now you cant fold the seat down and fill her with stuff. Not even any room for a good size cooler???? Travesty. I have re-done the entire back of the Jeep. Let me know what you think. Check out my gallery I have more off road pics coming.

went outside to smoke and look at something under the hood for a member on here, started her up and let her idle so I could sit behind the tail pipe and listen to the exhaust note.

Then realized how much I love my exhaust note and that it changes as the engine warms up.

Its a gutted cat(bought it that way) and a glasspack so you can hear the noise from the valves opening and closing, that along with a really low "woop woop woop" sound about 20 times a second makes for a wonderful sound.

I see your sportin the CF window sticker too. I just got mine in the mail yesterday, way to go!!! Well worth the price. I wish I could get my daughter interested in wheeling, but at 20 years old she's got other things going instead. My son wheels, just turning 16 he wants my jeep. Fat Chance!

Happy wheeling
