Jeep FC170-1958

The front has never had shocks as long as I've owned it. So I bought some new shock bushings and installed a set of factory JK shocks on it. They are close enough to the right length, so it'll work ! ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1463360998.895341.jpg

New lines compared to factory Length..

What a pain the ass to find the right fitting for a brake light switch.


I also ordered new tires! Hopefully I'll get them
in and mounted this weekend!

I had to go with the Firestone NDT,

Awesome!! Can't wait to see the FC with the NDT's installed [emoji106]🏻

Well it won't be this weekend. The tires shipped from Reno, delivery is today. The inner tubes are enroute from Ohio.

Holy hell that's super fast shipping! Bummer they didn't have any inner tubes in stock up here.

Came home to tires! Glad I live in a safe place. Thanks to the dumbass delivery guy that left them in the middle of the drive!

The inner tubes will be in next week :(

Shipped from Reno? Tire Rack order? I've ordered from them and picked it up at the factory.
