My life with a Brick

I have a similar situation on my jeep too, but its self inflicted. When I installed my LA lift I had to drop the gas tank to cut and install the new rear control arm brackets. I put the bolt from the inside out because the head has a lower profile than the nut end and I didn't want it chafing on the gas tank. Well it wasn't until I put the gas tank in and cut the skid to clear it, that it dawned on me and realized my mistake. I didn't want to unbolt the gas tank and drop the thing to just flip the one bolt around. So if a time comes when I have to remove that control arm I'm going to cut the head off and pull it out...haha.

Ha! I’ve seen leaf spring bolts on my old Chevy trucks that had to have been put on first then the truck assembled, they must think it will never need to come apart

I feel retarded but after 4 days I figured out the control arm situation. The two bolts that came with them were too big to fit in the axle mounts. Not sure why I was so sure they were for this end

I never considered this end

But if I cut the bolt that won’t come out due to the exhaust I can replace it with the new bolt from the outside of the frame in

Sometimes it’s so easy to get something in your head and overlook the obvious

Glad you figured it out, I’ve been there a bunch of times.

If I remember right when I installed my rock krawler lift on my old jeep it was I. The instructions to cut that bolt off that won't come out because of the exhaust and it had a bolt in the kit to replace it and install it from the inside. That picture looks very familiar haha

Did you do the switch to shut off the Govt yet? Ric is going to do his and was second guessing which wire it is. I sent Bill and Jerry the pic Ric sent me and it looks like a stick has more wires than a auto

I haven’t yet. I was gonna tear into it soon when I get around to pulling the hard top off.

Mine is a stick and this is what I have. From what I understand it’s the purple wire with light blue stripe. I’m guessing the one on the left?

That is correct. Splice the switch in there and you are good to go.
