Put on the new Grand Cherokee drag link on to my 2000 cherokee, Then found out that I needed a new tie rod end when I went to put the tie rod onto the drag link (bolt just spun inside the ball joint). I also put a new bushing on my driver side front shock, PO had about a 2in play int the front shock.

Replaced the lower rear control arms, removed the Teraflex 2" spacer lift, aligned the front end, and charged the A/C.

yesterday, Changed the motor mounts & tranny mount. Found a broken bolt on the cross member, had to drill it out then cut a hole in the side of the frame just big enough to fit a nut & a wrench in it to tighten her down, What A PIA... 
Today gonna do some fender flare trimmin'.

Death wobble slung my shock out of the firewall and bent a bar that goes across the front axle dont know what it is. It connects to both the wheels but need to find out so i can replace it. Any information would be appreciated.

Drivetrain upgrade COMPLETE!
LP Dana 30 from a buddys old/sold Comanche that had been braced up/beefed up considerably(notice the axle tube brace and the heavy duty passenger side upper control arm mount
). Chromoly shafts/HD U-joints and an aussie locker w/4.88's and matching SOLID cover.
Coupled with some Rough Country adjustable/superflex LCA's and the control arm drop brackets.
These drop brackets are THE ****! This thing rode like a log wagon before and now all the bumps I honestly dreaded or swerved to miss are like nothing.
It's hard for me to notice "upgrades", but this one honestly was like night and day. Hell, it even corners better and drives OVER STUFF better. Instead of those arms transferring all the force to the body, the suspension gets to actually work, now. I couldn't be happier.
I know some will say I need a D44 or better up front, but for now and the price and what I got it was the best option for me. In time....maybe.... a D44 will be under there. Maybe straight to a D60.
Here are the raw pix as I haven't riced anything up with brake cleaner/paint. I still need to drain the diff housing and top it off with good ****, so i've just been waiting till I get time.
