Oh, yeah...don't get involved in the spamming war or you'll end up
getting PLONKED with the rest of those bozos. It's been a relatively
peaceful NG until about a year ago when one of our regulars brought in
his family of idjits. Use your filters to remove the offenders and it's
actually pretty quiet in here. Might take some time to get them all.

2" spacer or spring lift? As far as bugs, it's been 10 years so I'm a
little fuzzy. I went from a '90 to a '99 so I didn't keep up with the 97
issues, but as I recall they were minor things. Fitment, cracking
headers (which carried on for a few years), exhaust manifold heat shield
was missing....I'm sure more 97'ers can chime in.

It's not a body lift from what my cousin said. The plastic fender thingys
have chalked a bit. I repainted them with a dark green plastic for now. they
look really cheesy. I want to get some touch up paint to paint them to match
the rest of the JEEP.
Here's a picture of it.

I was just checking that out. It's all rather ridiculous to say the least.
