The Birth of Cookie Monster (aka Cymbol Monkey)

A.J. said:
You can get correct alignment #s and still not have lengths set right. They shouldn’t be missing the bump stops. If the axle is coming up in front of bump stops control arms are too long. If the axle is coming up behind bump stops control arms are too short. If the axles is coming up left or right of bumps track bar length is wrong. Track bar position on axle bracket comes in to play also as the arch of track bar travel can move left or right when articulated. The trick is to cycle suspension w/out springs to see where it is. Adjust lengths at full compression while keeping them equal and then adjust for caster at ride height. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you!! Very good detail. There are no issues at all in any direction except off camber and stuffed. Normal crawling wasn’t an issue. Not sure how I could create that scenario. Confirmed again that my trackbar has the axles dead centered.
 
Partial new addition. Only was able to score the rear doors and uppers but the deal was simply too good to pass up. 200 bucks and 2 hour round trip they are mine.

Was cutting into a trail which was very tight between two trees. Was off chamber on muddy wet rocks. Slid down towards the tree on the passenger side. Looked and thought I was still clear but the second I moved I heard the soft top track breaking apart and I knew I was in trouble. Time to learn body work. 🤷*♂️ Nothing bondo and paint won’t cure

Dang, sorry to hear about that. But yeah it's definitely fixable. [emoji106] I am sure you will do a good job.
