Second Chance LJ

[06UnlimitedDL]

So, debated on selling this one for awhile, but ultimately decided I'd regret it just as much as I did when I sold my first one. I picked this one up last year, same year, model, and even color as my first LJ. Gonna stay conservative with this one, just like the last one, but maybe a bit bigger.

My first one, 4in pro comp lift, 33x10.5 Super Swampers, traded at 27K miles (facepalm)

The current one, purchased bone stock, 89K so far the only things I've added are the CB and Rampage top.

I've ordered some parts, started with:

1.25 body lift

Brown Dog Offroad 1" MML

3" suspension lift w/ .75 teraflex spacers

Superlift adjustable track bar

Started with the body lift while I wait for the rest of the stuff to get here:

All done:

And yes, painted my bezels when I got bored...

Even my little guy got in on the action:

Body lift and Motor Mount Lift officially done and buttoned up....those motor mounts were a pain by myself, but doable. Just took me bit longer.

Backing it in to start on the rear suspension!

Front is on it's wheels finally. Still gotta get the new track bar on and get an alignment. Then it's wheels and tires and gearing, and all the other miscellaneous stuff.

I love the LJ's! When I get tired of XJ's and have the money I want a 6 speed LJ! Looking good!

Save yourself $60 and align it yourself. Toe shouldn't have changed. Add a little caster and center the steering wheel.

You can add me, but it won't change the steering wheel location

Lift is done! Trackbar is on! Horrendous death wobble at about 50 mph...

Got a few things marked off the list. Added a tire carrier bumper and MBRP exhaust. Replaced the plugs with E3's, what a difference! Just waiting on my tires to get here and the making an appointment with Olivers Driveshaft.

While I was under it and had the skid plate off, I wire brushed the mating surfaces and shot a coat of rustoleum on there...i hate rust...even just surface rust....

Finished up the front end, got the brakes on. Still a few things to button up, but it's getting there!

And a before and after!

Looks much worse....you killed the value!

I guess, as a good gesture, I could relieve you of it for $5000 now before you have to sell it for $3000

How kind of you sir! But I couldn't possibly put you through the trouble!

Got the HD tie rod on today, even pulled it out of the garage to turn it around.

Looks Nice! I like it!

Thanks!!

While waiting until I can get it to Olivers, decided to add a little storage. Also broke the brakes in, stops much better! I ended up with Power Stop Z23 Evolution drilled and slotted rotors and carbon pads. Highly recommend them!

Definitely a dog with the 35's now, so hoping to be able to throw some 4.88's at it in the next couple weeks.

Love the way it sits now.
