Hi there. In the comings weeks I will be preparing to install a huge batch of parts on my WJ. I'm planning for the week of the 24th to the 31st but we'll see how that works out. All parts are present except for some hardware and a few tools.
There is ALOT to do:
1. Repair driver rear bumpstop: rusted out.
2. Install IRO 3" foundation lift kit w/Bilsteins.
3. Partial front axle rebuild; CV shafts, inner axle seals, wheel hubs, ball joints, calipers, braided brake lines (maybe rotors) + new diff cover.
4. Paint front axle, front wheelwells, and all spring mounts before lift install
5. Prime, paint, and install, Goliath rocker rails.
6. Bonus: Complete and install my custom airbox to match the ram air hood. It's about 70% complete.
So, yeah....it's alot. The prime, paint, and mounting of the rock rail, and the airbox will be done in the coming weeks though, so the 24-31st will only be the suspension/ axle stuff. It's not a do or die deadline or anything, id just like to start 2023 all fresh and upgraded. But we'll see, itll take what it takes. I'll definitely need a plan though.
2003 Laredo 4.0 4x4
So, thats the general plan. I will be gathering the remaining things and info I need all throughout December. I will also begin prep work and paint on the Goliath rails, as well as document the entire process starting today.
Alrighty, the first thing is first and the least cool; bumpstop repair......sigh....
