Doing some suspension maintenance and tweaking. I can believe the rid difference around town with changing the castor from 5 degrees to seven. I also change the upper control arm from the second hole to the first hole ( teraflex arms) the hole is a little offset compared to the second hole essentially levels the arm a small small amount. We went for a ride and we could not believe the ride difference.

Have more to do but that's it for now..

Staring a new thread on this cause I have questions!

My wonderful husband and son installed bushwacker Flat Flare Fenders this weekend along with cutting off the ends of the front bumper and installing the end caps.

Installed the TeraFlex Monster Track Bar that i got from Robbs2008JK. And HOLY SHIT did it make a huge difference. Like total night and day. I had an older JKS track bar and finally tracked my steering wheel shimmies (That I have had for years) down to the fact that the track bar was acting like a spring everytime I hit a bump in the road. But with this new one, ZERO steering shimmy, even when aiming for bumps.

VERY happy :)

Yes, going into the factory Navigation screen through a CHR550 LockPick.

The JeepsAreUs website. They have a webpage where you can quickly see the damage to your credit card add up.

Some of the stuff took a while to come in. But Tony at JeepsAreUs did a good job of letting me know what was going on and when it was shipping.

Only annoying thing they did was repack the smaller accessories into the larger boxes. Guess this saves shipping money, but it made it harder to sort out what had shown up or not and more difficult to figure out who would have been responsible if something was damaged along the way. Fortunately everything made it.

Paint matching is a pain since I didn't want to blend the body into the half doors as then the full doors wouldn't match. Mine came out close enough that I'm guessing any attempt to "fix" them will make things worse. Having metallic paint doesn't help. Anyway, at some angles in direct sunlight, at the right angle, there is a visible difference.

FWIW, the stamping from MOPAR are really rough. The body shop that did my paint was sort of shocked at the condition of the surface and spent some time sanding and grinding even though I told them not to bother. It is a Jeep after all and I'll just dent them at some point.:gluging:

Only issue I have left with the doors is to figure out why the front doors lock when I press the unlock key button on the key fob..... Back doors work as expected.

Awesome, thanks!
