Installed all new control arms. Freedom off road adjustables. Set em to factory length right now untill I get the rest of the suspension suspension and steering parts in. Then a total alignment to recenter the axles. Other than the stickers all being the same so they sit wierd when installed I have no complaints. Def took a lot of the wander out of the jeep

Did you have some symptoms that led you to this or just high mileage?

Battery light remained illuminated for three days straight. Prior to that it would illuminate in the morning and after a short drive, it would shut off. Which led me to believe it was actually my battery prematurely dying. But it wasn't. I also experienced lethargic shifting and a slight decrease in pep. Granted I only pushed it for approximately 2 1/2 days before I decided to pull the alternator. But I'm glad I did before I got stuck somewhere.
 
Added a Motobilt Hatchet stubby rear bumper to my 2015 JK and removed the rear fender inner liners to prepare for cutting the stock flares down over the week I am off. I really like this stubby bumper, it matches well with my cut down front bumper. I will mostly likely go with a Motobilt front stubby bumper at some point.

Finally sat down and drilled the knuckles for the ruff stuff 1 ton tie rod. It was a lot easier than I thought. Took about 5 mins a knuckle with the right bits. Used black oxide bits with some thread cutting oil I had laying around. Started with a 3/4 bit the did the 7/8. Milwaukee M18 drill for the win. Yes you see some wood blocks but I had Jack stands in place as well.

Next up is a new radiator and front sway bar disconnects. Oddly enuff when doin the tie rod I found a minor crack at the top of the plastic radiator side tank. May also put the new extended brake lines on as the previous owner appeared to be using stock lines as limiting straps😂. I can def tell this jeep spent its previous life in the mall parking lot.
