Looking good! Didn’t you make a set of rock rails?

Umm, I did, but never finished them. I guess I wasn’t in love with it so it got tabled. Eventually I found these on FB Market Place for next to nothing.

Well I’m glad you found a good set ready to bolt in [emoji106]

Managed to get to one last event before my daughter headed out of state for college. More of a follow the leader through some private land ride, but we still had fun spending the day together:

Looks like yall had a good day. Great way to enjoy some time before your daughter goes to pursue a further education.

Been a little while since the Jeep got some love. Just need a warm day to install these Rancho 9000’s an stabilizer:



What’s a good place to start with the adjustment for both on a off road?

I forget where mine are set too. I’ll take a look today.

Thanks!

I wasn’t super impressed with the adjustment on the 9000’s. I went back to the 7000’s and was a lot happier. I think the 9000’s only work with adjustment on soft coils like EVO and Rancho.

Was your experience with stock coils? That’s what I have.

No. Evo, rock krawler and Rancho.

Did a thing today. It’s going to be a long 68 days.

No. This is technically my wife’s Jeep, but since she works from home it’s more like my second . We bought the Sahara for all the creature comforts as this will be our travel vehicle for the next bunch of years. My daughter is going to school out east so it’s like a 2,000 mile round trip twice a year and we are talking about taking a road trip this summer to Glacier National Park.

Incredible how fast this has moved from a thought, to an order, now complete and ready to ship from the Toledo Assembly Plant. Jeep has it going on!

50’s in Wisconsin today so I did a little work in the garage; rear shocks, front stabilizer, tire rotation and oil change. I’m saving the front shocks for the next maintenance day.

I mounted the rears with the adjusters in which really made them difficult to adjust. I guess it’s worth it to keep them from getting busted up on the rocks.

Having your daughter go to college is both the best and worst day for a parent…

Yes, very true! Looking forward to having her home for spring break in a couple of weeks.

Decided to get a flip bracket for the stabilizer. I’m hoping to reuse the tie rod clamp and clear the differential. I’ve heard that some clear and some don’t. I’m thinking that having a Dana 30 is the best case scenario as far as clearance goes.
