Road Trip with Red, Part 3
|
When you install the rear track-bar bracket, hold it in place with one of the mounting bolts or a clamp, mark the holes to be drilled with an awl, and then drill the holes with the bracket still in place. This trick sway-bar retainer setup uses the clips for your sway-bar disconnects when you are ’wheeling. We usually wasted a couple of perfectly good zip ties doing the same thing. If your TJ has a manual transmission, was made before 2000, and you are using Rancho’s transfer case lowering kit, you will probably need to trim the sheetmetal around your shifter per the instructions. Red did not need this trimming possibly because in 2000, Jeep switched manual transmissions from the AX-15 to the NV3550. To do a quick check to see if your ’00-’02 TJ needs this trimming around the shifter, slowly drive it forward and backwards. If it kicks out of First, Second, or Reverse, grab your files and tin snips ’cause you need to trim. View Related Article
