I trashed the unlocking hubs. Put in new ball joints, unit bearings and brakes. Also not Jeep related but I sold my powermate for Rubicon run funds. Didn't even have a full tank of gas through it. Been dragging it around since 91 and it was time to go. Sold it to a guy and his two dogs living in his jobs storage yard trying to get back on his feet.
Happens all the time up here.

Didn't feel any vibes driving back, but as hard as my daughter hit that log figured it'd be a good idea to check for bent rims.
All good!
Also ordered up a set of 3.5" leaf springs. One step closer to getting the new rear under her! And the PO's combo of AALs, lift shackles and blocks will soon be a distant memory.

Wheeled it at Rausch Saturday
Broke the rear driveshaft clean at the ears, easy peasy to remove it, drove back to the parking lot in FWD, and then a nice guy gave me his spare so I can make it home (I had 2.25 hour drive, while he trailered his jeep).
Also dented the roof line where it meets the side panels (near the A pillar above the drivers door) but not enough to make the door inoperable.
When I broke the driveshaft, I was winched out (my front tires was hanging on a rock ledge and wouldn't be able to get over it without the rear tires). So the guys behind me can come out of the very narrow trail.
The guy behind me broke BOTH his front and rear driveshafts on the same ledge.
In overall it was a very good day.

ProComp for now, I'll see how I like em. I know they ride stiff(course they all do till they break in), but I carry a lot of weight so it shouldn't be too bad.
Dirt cheap on Scamazon right now, with bushings and pinion shims if I need em, $228 after tax, shipped 2-day delivery.

I have to agree I think some tubing would do the trick for that. I'll have to look at mine, but something makes me think that the bolt was not centered in that giant hole. I didn't care for the 2 thin washers that they gave me to cover up the hole. Why couldn't they at least cut out a small piece of 1/8" plate to cover that hole?
I did bend the horn brackets so that they fit under the bumper better.
I haven't figured out where to put the air canister that was attached to the OEM bumper. Any ideas?

I bought and towed home (with a different vehicle) a parts Jeep for it. I'm going to strip it down to nothing, and I didn't even have to buy it dinner!

Got the MJ running again after sitting dead for two months. Replaced the ICM and fuel pump. Now get this, I had a BOSCH pump that is lifetime warranty. I take it out and back, the guy says they don't have any BOSCH in stock, just Airtex. I needed a pump so took it. Opened the box to check it out, it's NOT an Airtex, it's a Walbro unit in an Airtex box.
