No pictures, don't even ask: I'm whooped. But got the MBRP rack on the Jeep today. Tomorrow hope to get the basket assembled, and maybe the snorkel installed. After that I'll get some pic's. And still have a couple other projects: JeepSWAG muffler and SS brake lines. Whew!

I did some work too. Got my CB installed. Now I need some help tuning it.

Gonna need someone with a torque wrench to check on my rear swaybar links. They are somewhere between German and Farmer tight right now.

full rotate and balance 2 weeks before we installed the adj. control arms, had it realigned thursday and the tires have 5500 MI. on them. We went to do our taxes about 30 miles away and there was some road construction, we had to cross some lanes that were being repaved and the middle wasn't done yet. I was going about 2-5 MPH when we turned across the lanes that were lower than the ones that were already paved and "BAM" wiggle wobble DW . Back in B.A. and hit those dips and craters on 71st in front of the old Wal-Mart / Chili's and there it went again . This morning I put a new Rubber boot on the drag link and checked the torque on the trackbar and all the front end parts, everything was spot on re-installed the SS Shock so it will hopefully not have DW while my wife is driving it until I can diagnose it and try to fix it

WOW... looks like the whole group was busy working on Jeeps in some way, shape or form. Finally got my rear Uppers installed and the pinion angle fixed. Got the ones that were on there in the box - going to clean them up in the morning and ship it back to Teraflex . With the pinion angle fixed, that was a big relief. Now, to focus on the issue of mild DW

no need for any relay etc, just wire right up to the battery.

I think my low speed DW might have to do with the toe being off a little need to read up on how to adjust that

If so, then your drag link and track bar are still not parallel to each other which will cause bump steer. How soon were you thinking of going back to the stock pitman arm?
