« on: April 18, 2015, 04:29:08 PM »
On and old xj I learned to grow a third arm and fanangle these things in on my own.

I'm thinking this would be best with two people.

99 xj- Black Betty, 2" OME lift
94 yj- needs to be lifted aka Betty Rubble

Still in tuning phase. The adjustability is nice. Stop by the shop Raf if you want a closer look.
