    They're better than spacers. Plus people usually just slap on the spacer on top of old clapped out stock shocks making it even worse.

    Exactly... like I said I can see the practicality of the gear bags, etc. And yes my comment about the chair was tongue-in-cheek regarding how small a Jeep's carrying capacity is compared to a pick up with a 5' or 6' bed.

    In other news I checked my ps fluid, and it is pretty brown. Think I'll flush and change that to see if the sticky/hard steering is better.

    Be sure to clean the screen in the reservoir. That was a culprit in my crappy steering/noise.

    I love my tall and skinnies but I want them out more. I think I'm gonna go with wheel spacers instead of new tires

    Finally got the rear a/f sensor off the mandrel and was able to take my truck to an exhaust shop. Drivin there with just a header and nothin' beyond it hurt my ears and bruised my emotions a lil bit but I'm lookin forward to the stainless setup I'm having put on:)

    Put some 50/50 acetone and transmission fluid. I've never broken or stripped a bolt using it.

    That stuff really is magic. Almost too good..


    Just make sure to mix it in small quantities as acetone evaporates more quickly than Mother Theresa's legs clap shut when there's a tropical storm.
