LOL nice work Chad! I have a bent Johnny joing on one of my rear lowers, I just said eff it and put it back in until I see worse. The jam nut was tight on mine too.
Did you put it back together for wheeling?

Better fix it quick! I am rebuilding the entire suspension on my rig to go out this weekend. Call me if you need me to get you one.Originally Posted by chadjans
Getting ready for wheeling next weekend and found this:
My almost 10 year old Johnny Joint is bending.

Upon removal, yes, because I used a lever on the joint to remove. I am betting it was bent when the nut was loose and I tightened it not realizing it was bent.
At least it bent and not broke.
This one was a front lower. Water in the tires is rough on parts.
I just have to keep an eye on the jam nuts.
No, I ordered some new housings from Currie.

Want to go on Saturday? I am down for that as well. As long as I am wheeling this weekend.

Let's say Sunday for now. I have some family in town and it is sounding like they want Saturday.

Ill be watching. I have built a few a few turbo systems. It will be cool to see what you come up with.

Are you going to do a remote mount system like STS does? They have a lot of success with that, and don't have to mess with custom headers etc.. http://www.ststurbo.com/

I am planning on a T3T4 with an internal wastegate plummed in a traditional fashion. With luck I can get the turbo for less than 200 dollars.
There are some decent XJ kits on ebay for 400 dollars. I have to be cheaper than that.
My suspension and engine cage are going to make this interesting.
This won't be done before GSW. I just enrolled in a certification program for some health care IT work that ends the same time as my masters program in May. GSW will be a good gift to myself.

Well Otis had an interesting journey the last few weeks. We had to say goodbye to him two weeks ago. It has been hard. I no longer come home to a wagging tail and that distinctive howl. Otis I will truly miss you.Otis
