there should be a tread "what did you use your winch for today?" ! i once removed 48 steel fence posts that were in concrete. bless that synthetic rope!
That was the small one. The next one was three times wider. It would have been a huge mess cutting it up inside.

Got death wobble the other day. My front axle is offset to the driver's side by 1" and the front pinion is off by about 3*.........so time to make some adjustments, post alignment.

But the other night I added the MC FAD skid plate and flipped/remounted the front steering stabilizer

Mine would too but not in a way that I would like. 😜
Actually she’s pretty cool about stuff like that but we like to jokingly tease each other now and then.
We do as well. The shirts she’s bought me that come to mind:

Worlds okayest husband
I’m difficult (with 2 black diamonds)
First of all, I’m a delight (w/ picture of snarling possum)
trophy husband (it’s sarcastic immediately if you’ve seen me)

Mine was going crazy recently as well. Somehow the toe moved an inch. Something’s wrong. Fixed that and tightened. Need to finish moving, and then it’s all coming apart.

Yeah zero death wobble til I relocated the stabilizer. But once it happened and I got home....I reached out to my Jeep subject matter expert. Took the measurements and he was like bam........

I have the same stabilizer. I’ve done all the work on this thing for several years now, and this was the time I reached out for help as well. They initially assumed I’d had missed something loose. But the track bar bushings had prematurely failed, and I need new wheel bearings. That combo allowed it to get out of spec. Plus my original (steel) steering gearbox is tired. So after the holidays and the move are done, I think I’m tackling a steering box upgrade in the form of psc adventure kit. I already have the replacement track bar bushings in a box. Need to order wheel bearings.
