Thanks for the comments... As far as upgrading the suspension, not only did I WANT long arms, but they made it easier to do this swap. Welding on a truss just seems SO much easier than lining up the OEM style upper tabs, and a track bar tab... I'm hoping to get to spend some time on it sunday.

Day 4.1 A Tie Rod. WOW. I picked up my steering from the dealership. I went with OEM JK stuff, and at this point I'm gad I did. The TREs are MUCH bigger than the stock ZJ stuff, probably not one ton, but I'm on 33's with Dana 44s... I need to pull my pitman arm and ream it out (but going with...

Spencer, you find the most obscure random stuff... and I mean that as a compliment. This may be the most obscure thing I've ever seen.

Dom, assuming that's really you, you've dropped a few pounds? your chin looks more single than I remember it when we met... wish I could say the same. I'll be getting new ink later this month.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I ordered the steering today, and I'll pick it up tomorrow. Does anyone have a knuckle reamer I can rent? I need to enlarge my pitman arm's hole for the KJ steering. I'll have to shorten the drag link, the TRE on the drag link, and the adjuster to make it...

I love my Niner... probably in a strange unhealthy way. That said, if I had to start all over, I'd to an XJ. Cheaper and a tad easier for most things. Will a coil setup droop more than leafs? A little bit. Is droop really all that cool? I don't think so these days.

Day 3: Progress The front axle is in. I started by setting up the axle where the spring buckets were dead level. I had already scribed where the coil buckets needed to sit, so I checked out the shock perches. They finally got smart on the JK... no bar pins. I figured if I need to move...

Day2: One little Victory. Not too much to report from Day 2. I was able to retrieve the 15mm impact socket out of the unibody tube. I also got the old D30 further broken down. I pulled the shafts and unit bearings to give to a friend of mine as spares. I measured out the center of the...

I've seen a few more ZJs popping up here, so I figured I'd share. A few of you have met me, but I haven't wheeled with very many people here, cause my rig has been chronically broken. I've finally decided to do something about that. I've been close to a few different option, but I decided to...

I did a TON of research and went with Claytons. T&T's setup is awesome, but you can't beat clayton's warranty.

I don't know of anyone breaking their arms, but plenty of people have broken their brackets.

I'm about to swap a set of JK Rubicon axles into my 98 ZJ Grand Cherokee. I have almost all of the parts together, except the steering. I know I should really wait till I have the axle mounted and centered to measure for the drag link, and thats what I plan to do, but my question is more of...

If I were a monkey, I'd collect hats.

After this weekend, I know a LOT more than I'd like to know. I'm glad yours worked out.

The one with more wheelbase.

The comedy in that it that on a Toyota, orange peel is a sign of a repaint. On a jeep or dodge, NOT having orange peel is a sign of a repaint.

I would say it has to be close to impossible to detect orange peel in a cell phone pic.

And sign the invoice upon delivery without reading any fine print.

LOL.. thats EXACTLY what I said in my head when I read "Toner Pirate". Thats pretty creative... I'm almost impressed.
