hey everybody, i'm new to gator forums but i've been a member of jeep forum for awhile. My gf has had a 04 hpx since 08 but in 09 after her father passed it got locked up in an estate mess. finally got it back from the terror of an aunt and its a little beat but still kickin.

ordered up the front strut after figured out the old was shot and sticking, it would compress down and stay there till you hit a bump and then WHAM it would decompress. planning on using it to push some snow this winter after i fab up an atv plow. already has a 3k winch on it.

getting ready to replace the strut tonight, just looking if anbody has any info for me. what i neeed to remove in what order, any tips. im in the middle of a frame off resto of my jeep so im pretty mechanically inclined, just lookin for some tips. if nobody gets back to me by 5 or 6 2night i will be tearing into it either way

thanks and nice to meet you all
