Tan ZJ Numero Tres

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

Enough stuff has been done to it to warrant a thread, I guess. Thanks to Dizzy and Phil, the rear long arms were completed tonight out of necessity. The control arm angle in the rear was so steep on short arms, coupled with a steep track bar, that the uppers peeled themselves off the unibody. It rides exactly one million times better.

Looks good.

Hit a massive frost heave in the road on my way to work and nothing fell out, so I guess Dizzy can actually glue things together pretty well.

Clayton's new belly-pan setup for the ZJ is tempting. Ties into the rails that connect the rear brackets to the crossmember instead of a separate rear support like their old design, plus it's a ton cheaper. On the list of stuff to consider.

List of stuff to do/change:
*Tires (Buying Dizzy's)
*Rockers- Replacement rockers are cheap. Don't really want to replace them with box steel when I can get OEM and sliders. I can always modify my old Detours ones that were on my XJ.
*Interior- Headliner needs some attention, along with speakers and the solenoid for the hatch glass. PO did some hack-fab wiring for the trailer wiring and somehow grounded out the circuit for the hatch glass, so it'll pop a fuse right away if it's replaced. minor detail.
*Find junkyard bumper skins and RF fender. Nothing really wrong with it, but it looks like it was resprayed and it's starting to peel. Minor annoyance.
*Pull the 242 and put a true SYE in it
*Actually install the beef motor mounts and trans mount sitting in my garage

I don't doubt that, but doing Trans mount stuff on a lift > laying on the ground.
