Sweet videos man, great job driving too. Looks like you may have lost abit of suspension height in the picture, you have the 4" SuperLift, right?



John, IIRC those are the factory crossbars that he mounted low pro lights to so he could still fit in his parking garage.



Is that a Power Wagon with the winch in the front bumper or no?



:driving::supercool::driving:
 
thanks guys, it was a fun day! and a bit scary at parts..



Yep OEM cross bars, customized for lights :)



Jerry, yea, i'v got the 4" superlift, and was thinking the same thing.. in fact, i had felt the front hit the bumpstops a couple times going over smaller dips in the road.. i may have to twist the torsion bars a bit to bring it back up, but not sure why its sagging all of a sudden..



As for the power wagon.. that thing was awesome.. with the factory winch in front, front and rear lockers and pushbutton swaybar disconnect. he's about to add 35's and sliders to it.

Yeah the front end should sit higher then the rear with the SL kit but looks like it's lower in the first picture.



Check your ball joints, shocks and hubs.
 
BTW, i wouldn't recommend using these for the lights.. i just did it because that's what i had to work with.. but they are OVAL crossbars... makes it hard to mount lights on.. if i had it to do again, i would have used the square crossbars...
 
I bought mine from eBay for I think around $70-90, been a couple years since I got them but they are extremely durable and strong. I had a Yakima MegaWarrior roof basket mounted on them holding my spare tire and offroad lights.

Jerry was right again... needed new ball joints and passenger side upper control arm..



and i'm now on my 4th set of swaybar end links.. (this time it's my own fault.. as i didn't realize how technical the trail would be and didn't have the tools to disconnect them once i got to the hard part above.) :banghead:



new project for me.. make my own disconectable swaybar endlinks.. since i need beefier ones than superlift provides and need to be able to disconnect it on the trail manually.. the jeeps have them, why can't we... :)
