Steve-Oh Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 @fry, the control mount bending is not uncommon. In fact my friend just fixed his ZJ's no more than two weeks ago. If you want I can direct you his way, I'm sure he'd be happy to share how he fixed his.Sent from Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fry Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 @Steve-Oh thanks for the help! I just placed my second order to quadratec. I absolutely love that place! I went a head and bought a set of heavy duty, upgraded mounts. The guy at quadratec told me unless I do some serious rock climbing it shouldn't happen again with these mounts. I also bought a set of factory replacement LCA. They have lots of cool upgraded ones, but this is just my daily driver there's no need to get crazy with the suspension.

Steve-Oh Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 You're welcome! Yup those upgraded mounts will work perfectly. Good stuff though, glad you're getting taken care of. Quadratec is no joke, there's some serious Jeep enthusiasts working there. 98% of the cars in the lot there are modified employees Jeeps.

fry Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I sunk my 4 wheeler today in some pretty thick mud, so I put the jeep to work for the first time. It pulled like a good old mule! Then I drove the 4 wheeler into the lake, but that's another story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fry Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Put the jeep to work again today. My dad got me a canoe for Christmas, it was $50 for the boat and trailer, so my cousin and I took it out for the first time. It was my first time in a canoe but we didn't flip so I guess it was a success. We're supposed to take the real boat out tomorrow. I LOVE having a Jeep.

Steve-Oh Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well that's good you didn't flip the canoe! Glad you're getting plenty of use out of it!Sent from Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fry Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I sent the Jeep to my old school and let the guys there replace the lca and mounts. They're also changing the rotors and pads since I and no brakes. I can do this stuff myself, no problem, but I don't have welder or lift so it sure makes it difficult.

fry Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I got into a wreck in the Jeep a couple weeks ago. It was mutal fault, not sure how seeing as I was STOPPED in the median waiting to turn. However, the fender and bumper are smashed up. But I was planning to swap them out anyway. The lower control arm I just had replaced also got smushed so I bought a new one. In the process of changing it, the upper one was also smushed so I have an upper control arm off an old rescue cherokee. I haven't bought any replacement parts yet cause they're expensive and my money is going into more important places right now. It's also STILL skipping. I changed everything out 4 months ago. Thespark plugs were already trashed. The parts guy sold me the wrong ones... Fixed that and it's still "hiccuping", pretty sure it's a fuel issue now, but like I said money is tight right now cause of important grown up things. But it's still trucking like a good ole champ.
