98' XJ Sport.. Another XJ Thread

[V1GiLaNtE]

To Do (Short list before 4/19):
- Install new LCA's Done
- Alignment + balanceDone
- Inspection
- Add bumpstops to frontDone
- Add Bumpstops to rearDone
- Sort out front brake lines (will probably go with GMC 1500 lines as they are super cheap and extended length)Done
- Re-torque all newly installed itemsDone

Got everything sorted out last week and alignment and balance last Friday. Jeep rides like a cloud of titties now on and offroad. New control arms pushed the axle forward allowing for a smoother ride and the relocation boxes allow the rear springs to just glide over everything. Feels super plush offroad.

Great weekend of wheelin' and cleaning up local trails. Our Porsche Club of America Run was Sunday, but the better half of Saturday I spent with VA4WD Club cleaning up a disgusting trash dump site.

We cleaned up about 39 tires, a camper topper, trash, bottles, old school supplies you name it. Probably the most 2 disgusting things we/I found all day was 1) gigantic used needle 2) a freshly decaying dog carcass.

This kinda stuff really makes me mad when people abuse the privileges we have with our national forests and as a 4wd enthusiast it's the kinda shit that gets trails shut down and kills the sport.
