hey guys, i have neglected my jeep for too long (2000 grand limited V8) now it is time to spend some TLC and $ on her. i build custom motorcycles for a living so i know my way around a tool box but this is the first time i have worked on a grand for anyting other then lights, budget boost/shocks, and stereo work... so i am going to need some help. my jeep has a budget boost on it now with rough country shocks. any of the areas that say (need to buy) i am open to sugestions not only of what to get but where to get it
(i will be out of town this weekend but back at it on monday)
here is my plan:
Underside:
-New Rotors(drilled and slotted)
- ceramic pads
- rebuild and powder coated calipters and brackets
- new upper and lower ball joints (need to buy)
- new stearing stabilizer (need to buy)
- new tie rods (need to buy)
- allignment
- new parking brake pads
Upper side:
- new radiator (need to buy
- New water pump (need to buy)
