    When I'm working in the heat; or, if it's just uncomfortably hot, I put a couple ice cubes in each pocket. My sweating stops and I can think clearer. You should try it. Works very well when working in a hot attic or hot container too. Try walking in the heat with a couple ice cubes in each pocket. You'll wonder why this info isn't out there for beating the heat; Especially, when the air conditioning goes out. Every old person or caretaker should know this trick.

    Should install a washer to replace where that cambolt was to ensure the bolt won't move around in that slotted hole and throw off your front to back alignment of the axel you can see at 10:18 on the video, I have had this happen with the axle moving back on one side and forward on the other

    Those look decent for the price - but I'm curious why they don't include the rear lowers.

    The front and rear lower CAs for a TJ/LJ are the same. Aftermarket replacement should be as well. And you would want the locking nut on the arm to be at the frame. Lastly, since the TJ has the caster set through the cam bolt on the lower CA at the axle, you could have marked the cam washer to match at reinstall. This would be a 'garage' set caster, ie like adjust the toe. But getting an alignment is proper with the computer settings to be more accurate.
    What is nice about the adjustable arms for setting caster, if you decide to add a spacer lift or taller coils, you can adjust the arm farther out but leave the cam bolt in the axle bracket where it is to get proper caster settings. Some adjustable CAs only allow a window of length adjustment due to there design (thread contact within the tube).
    Suggest, for those in wintery conditions, to unscrew the adjustable end and look to apply a coat of anti-seize on the arm. Similarly, to the mounting bolts threads and shafts (since they rest in metal sleeves) as well.
    I'd have to look into these CAs.

      @Mickale-Moranis is correct about front lower and back lower control arms. You guys were the reason I purchased MaxSpeedingRods control arms for my TJ (2004 Sport). I used the fronts on my rear. Will be doing my fronts this week. You guys are the best.

    What are your thoughts on the SKYJACKER ADX 2.0 ride quality and how does it handle body roll?

    • @Garagecouple
      @Garagecouple  11 місяців тому +1

      It has exceeded our expectations. More firm and stiff of a ride than we expected which in turn gives it a sportier ride. Probably because it's a light 4 cyl
