I came across this along time ago and wondered about it.
Want to say they were about $50 way back when.
Not anymore though. LOL.
Thinking cause of the size might not be a bad idea but....

That's straight beef! Should take a beating and keep on going!
I have stock steering besides the ZJ tie rod upgrade. At 5.5 inches of lift, I guess I should start looking for some aftermarket options. Did you make yours or buy it from somewhere?

Installed my 5th set of seats. Set 1 was the ones that came with the jeep and they were trash, set 2 was a set of amazon bucket seats (sold them for a profit after they didn't fit) 3rd set was some Corbeaus, that the brackets they sell to go with them put the seat up so high I literally was brushing the ceiling with my head, and they were too wide to go any lower, also sold for a profit, set 4 was a set I bought off a guy that were supposed to be fully functional from a wagoneer, but the motors were trash, and I did a bunch of electrical work to get them to work, but they never did, and so they are going to the dump (plus they are in bad shape in general). So bought a used pair off ebay from dead jeeps, and at least I can sit in the jeep and not have my head hit the ceiling... not that I can actually drive it anywhere yet.

What did I do?
- I backed up into the tire on the RV and nearly broke off my bumper! Rusty as can be. Holes right through it. I think it’s hanging on by the rubber end caps. A new one should be here by the weekend.

And the new mirrors came in this weekend. Finally no more black electrical tape.

Did a bunch of stuff over the last few months.
Re-wired all the aux lighting into a relay box….
Just used the old CAI surround to mount the box and bus blocks
Added ditch lights…
Re-painted the roof (Black)…
Got a JCR Rack. So much lighter than my steel one and doing good so far…
Brakes all around. The passenger wheel cyl blew out and I wasn’t prepared for the disc swap, so drums for a while longer…
And finally “fixed” the headliner with thumb tacks. Temporarily. That’s the only spot sagging, so I just wanna stop it from spreading for a while. Saw it here somewhere haha.
Next on the list is to re-wire the hatch wires. Lost my high center brake light and it’s a broken wire in that boot. Just going to cut and solder new wires in there, as I’m sure they will all eventually break.

Thanks!
Blocks were $20 and the relay box was $24. Both from ebay.
