What was done to your rig this week?

I took the carpet out of my 12 JK. I got tired of taking it out every time I had the top down with all the rain that we have been having anyway. Thinking of getting the Weather Guard mats or something like that.
 
How was the install? I was looking into them as well for at least the passenger side

Install was easy. The passenger side I had to drill one hole, and through the shock mount and the PSC ram plate that mounts to the shock mount. Easy enough though. Really reinforces the whole shock mount well.

It's right on their website man

Customer Service Hours:
Monday - Friday
9:00am - 6:00pm PST
 
FULL DISCLOSURE

first, thanks to members of the framily for responding to me when I ask(ed) dumb questions.

The guys at Northridge called me as soon as they opened up out there on the left coast. They are sending the correct driveshaft out next day to replace the one I have!!!!

I am at fault here as well because I should have checked the part when it was delivered and being a newbie I did not realize it was the incorrect part UNTIL AFTER I had pulled the stock DS and tried to install the new one. DUH!

I see two good things that have come from a frustrating morning...

#1 I've gotten some practice removing and installing a rear driveshaft. Note: add an 8mm and 15mm box end wrench to the in jeep tool kit

#2 Northridge has clearly demonstrated EXACTLY what customer service is supposed to be. To (mis)quote AFN, "that's what right looks like"

Thanks Tim and Eric. You rock

No mods to the jeep but had to mod the garage bit to get it to fit.

Plenty of room! Had to relocate the opener and take the top off

Like a glove :rock: I have to back in because the wind shield won't clear, if that gives you an idea of what I had to work with.

What is the benefit of doing this?

For most it is not needed. When the axle shifts(with large droop on one side and full stuff on the other in a lifted Jeep) the shock gets close and can sometimes hit the frame. So in the case of this contact, it's purpose is to relocate the shock further outward on the axle to create shock body clearance at the frame.
 
Finished installing the GenRight aluminum tire carrier. Just need to adjust it a bit more and run the wires for lights.

Man that is such a nice color! Good news it can fit in the garage now!
But i wonder where you have to put the top if the jeep can barely fit? unless its a soft top

Height was the issue, depth isn't to bad, I have the top standing vertical on a furniture dolly and I backup my spare tire into the top :brows: I could probably reclaim another foot or two with some clean up. If I ditch the opener I could hoist it to the ceiling. but the landlord frowned upon that :doh: (Apartment life after divorce yay!:rolleyes2:) A few midnight mods and I will be able to get it in with the top on.

The next question is will it fit with a Stinger on the front.

@QuarterPounderOwnersWithStingers - How far is the tip of the stinger from the top of the Grill?
 
New rear UCA/LCA/TB set up!

Basically upgraded my RK 2.5" MT lift to the X-factor in the rear. Pushed the rear axle back a bit. Good stuff!!!
