I just (yesterday) finished rebuilding the front suspension and the steering on mine.

Installed the lower trailing arms that I built with Rubicon spherical ends, replaced upper and lower ball joints, new upper trailing arm bushings, new drag link ends, upgraded to the beefier V8 ZJ tie rod ends, new steering stabilizer, and adjusted steering box. Just got it alligned today and drives awsome!

Best of all----- NO MORE DEATH WOBBLE-------!!!!!!!!

Next thing on the list will be some 31" tires. More $$$$$$

Well today was sad, filled my daily drivers tank (ram1500stroker) for the second time this week. Had to use the money I was gonna use on my xj project... $140 in less than a week... yay 9mpg!

Really wishin this project would magically replenish with funds and speed up! Need that v6 mileage!

Default cleaned 10 years of dirt off it

I cleaned it up and took the moldings off the sides and sprayed bedliner on the rockers.

Probably the lens. Fog lights have a lot of fluting in the lens to disperse light, long range and driving lights have little to none.

I feel your pain bro! I have a 99 Ram 2500 4X4 with a V10 that gets 8 city and 11 hwy. This thing can pull a house, but it can't pass a gas station. Fortunatly it's not my daily driver.
