I got to express my appreciation of this forum. When I first bought my jeep I had no idea what the hell all the parts were called on the suspension or anything else. I never worked on cars (JEEPS). Heres what I have been able to do on my own by using the search and reading many, many posts.

1. Drill mirrors. Ok that is easy.
2. Install 2.5 skyjacker lift by myself. Refered to site many times during install!
3. Install JKS Adjustable trackbar and recenter axle.
4. Recenter steering wheel. That was easy also.

Money saved: Install lift they wanted $500.00, Front alignment $80.00 (thanks WOL), install trackbar, not sure maybe $80.00.

Thanks all you know who you are, WOL, TEEJ, Happy, etc,etc etc. Who needs a warranty and dealership? Not me.

Side note I bought a torque wrench, this is a must!

Sweet!
I got my mechanical start using forums as a guide years ago...
There's nothing more satisfying that modifying your Jeep, and doing the work yourself. It really gives you a whole new level of appreciation for your rig.
