Steering box brace is now fitted as is the steering damper.
Tomorrow I start removing the shims in behind the brackets for my ARB bar and then I can insert the outer plates, the drivers one is now modded to fit but still need to mod the passenger side one, shouldn't take too much.....

Finished running heavy cable to the trailer hitch to hook up my UK caravan. I needed a constant 12v to charge the on board battery and a switched lead to run the fridge that disconnects when I turn the key off.

Then some busy weekends ahead with new hubs, front pinion seal, passenger engine mount, O2 sensors, ZJ clutch fan, dizzy, spark plugs and leaf spring bushings (going to try Moog brand, fingers crossed these dont crack in 5k like the Omix ones...)

With the leaf bushes I was having the same issue three times. In the end I used niloc nuts on the rear and Loctite green on the front and only nipped them up enough so they ther was no play. This allowed for the leafs to flex without resistance; so far 15k and all is holding up well. I also used caliper grease on all the bushes and this may or may not have helped but it sure has not hurt.
