The gal who I got it from mentioned that on occasion she could smell what she thought was burnt rubber, and had a guy check it out but never found anything that could‘ve caused the smell…maybe this was it. You’d never think to look at the upper isolators in the rear as the culprit, at least I wouldn’t have. Only thing I can think of is a helluva lot of friction somehow, I don’t know. The MOOG replacement isolators I bought are exact OEM match front and rear, with what came off...it’s not like it had the wrong rear upper isolators in it. Maybe Ed or someone else in here has run across this and it’s more common than what I think.
she offered her self if you could make rubber melt and you turned it down ?

thats what i got from your post
I agree, it turned out alright. The front rake is nowhere near as low as the one pic from the drivers side makes it look. On level ground it measures dead on 35 5/8” to the bottom center of the wheel well body in front, 36“ dead on to the bottom center of the wheel well body in the rear…within half an inch front to rear. Other than this lift and a little bottom suspension makeover, it’s all the love this Heep is gettin‘. I did find a set of OEM chrome recovery hooks on the Bay for $85 and pulled the front clip off and mounted those. If anything else, I’ll put new u-joints in it and be done with it.

I’ve got the opportunity to buy a fully loaded ‘03 Grand Cherokee Laredo 2WD that has just over 100K original miles on its’ 4.0L I6, that’s in better shape than this one, right now for $1K. The gal I got this one from, her aunt has the ‘03 and it’s been garage kept its’ entire life. It’s Patriot Blue (dark blue) in color and I ain’t no fan of blue vehicles but I think I can look aside that little detail…it’ll prob show up in the driveway sooner rather than later.

Edit…the window regulators, which was a chronic WJ model (‘99-‘04) issue, were replaced about four years ago on this ‘03 so that ought not to be a future problem. I’m surprised the regulators lasted that long before one went out and she had all four replaced at the same time.
2WD? Have never seen one of those. Personally really like the Patriot Blue, my FIL had one when I met him.

If you don't want it....my granddaughter needs a good car. I'd buy it for her in a second.
Dad is out of surgery and everything went well
Thanks for keeping us in the loop Chris. I was wondering how it was going.

Well I was just sitting here thinking mostly Jason talks a lot of shīt, but I'm seriously impressed at the suspension job on the Heep full knowing what effort goes in to a task like that.

You?
