I wish I could help some more, but I doubt I'll be able to get over there. We've got plans tonight and tomorrow while Bailey's boyfriend is here from Maryland.

tires are on the front. Still have one more thing to do in the front then it is time to start the rear.  I also need a tire alignment. ;D

Does anyone have a crossmember for a TJ? Mine is shot.

What cross member?  The belly skid or the cross member at the top of the rear wheel arches?

I don't have either, but wanted to know which you're talking about.

Belly. Where the transmission mounts and the transfer case is. I found one in Cranston and will be picking it up tomorrow.

Will it ever end? I found a used crossmember in Cranston that I will be picking up today. The front is finished. With the new crossmember I will complete the center and I hope to finish the back this weekend.  I am excited about getting it on the road and on the trail. It's coming along though.

It's on all four 35's. I have to take it in for an alignment because it needs it bad!!! The hardest part this time was the Rear Track Bar. Last this to do is install the pivot bracket drop bracket. The new crossmember is in great shape... For Now.

I had a friend that couldn't get the rear track bar lined up when he put a lift in his LJ so he just left it off. Drove it like that for about a month before he realized that it was too scary and then spent the time to put it in. :o

Good to hear you're finishing it up though. Congrats   Post a pic when you get a chance

The track bar prevents the axel from swaying side to side right? I would figure that would potentially damage the sway bars?

Yes, the track bar centers the differential left to right.

Wow.  All that work payed off.  Looks great.
