WJCO's Build Thread, 1999 WJ

[WJCO]

Did a final cycle on the axle to make sure brake lines, bump stops, and springs are all good. Everything good. Driver's bump stop is close to the upper control arm bolt, but it clears. Also retorqued all bolts.

Shouldn't the bump stop be hitting the bump stop extension? Looks like it's off to the side

Yea, I am wondering the same thing. It looks like the bump stop will barely make contact with the extension.

I welded that pad on the axle before installing the axle in the jeep.



I assumed it would be perfect. After getting the axle on, I had to do a lot of shifting to get the bump stops right. In doing so, the bump stop hits right between the pad and the pumpkin casting. At full bump, the black cup still hits both the pad and the pumpkin. So it does do it's job but it's not perfect.

Thank you. I'm running out of things to do though. Maybe I'll just drive it and be happy with it, lol.

Black wheels could look awesome. Or just something different than stock silver ones.

I've thought about that for a long time but every time I go out, I get rock rash. I eventually decided to keep these as you can get these cheap all day long on Craigslist if something were to happen to them. I've already had to replace one.

Front and rear bumpers :daydream:

I may add a rear bumper, but this thing is so heavy already. I love the way the front looks, so I don't plan on changing that.

Thanks. I agree it looks almost factory. I was surprised how much it fits right in there.
