Now that I have basically Pieced together EVOs 4" enforcer kit with bilstein shocks and EVOs upper control arms I have decided to add the "off road" part to my hood decal and represent ORE.

Did you have to buy another sticker or have you been storing that part all this time?

And from what I've seen you do, I think it's past time you added that part.

Oh I'm sure he had it saved. Mike is a closet hoarder! We had to have a sit down and discuss his tire hoarding problem. I have to say it is finally getting better! [emoji23]

So if any of you remember I use to have a bowed coil on the passenger front. Well even with the new coils it is still bowing. Any chance the perch for the coil is mounted at a slight angle causing this?

In other news, I'm out of town this weekend which means another weekend gone to waste not using NABOO...:(

Look at his sitting there being all sad

If it is I never noticed it since I was running coil overs.

Can you tell if pass side is different than driver side?

thats ok. and not a big deal. don't think it causes any problems and i will hopefully be running coilover in the future sometime anyway.

i can't tell by just looking at it if they are off and i forgot to check with an angle finder when i put the new springs in a few weeks back. :doh:

I have a bully dog tuner and I have always hated the idea of it sitting out for anyone to see. So when I bough my silver jeep about 4 years ago I made a custom mount for it. I always dreaded the day I got a cage because I thought I would have to ditch the mount and put the tuner back in the open. Fortunately that didn't happen.

Unfortunately I would have to cut my custom mount up in order to make it work.

Nice setup. I just recently added an aero force gauge for my setup. It's nice to see the info the pre 12 jeeps don't give you.

Some may remember I'm having brackets made for my tire carrier? Here is the low down. I have a family member who is a welder/fabricator. Since I wanted to keep my genright carrier I thought it would be a great idea to contact him to fab them up. Save me some money and gets the family involved.... bad idea. It's been about 8 months now and I don't have the right size brackets. The first set he sent me didn't work as he didn't follow my template and measurement correctly also it took about 5 months to get them. This was 2 months ago. Still haven't received the new brackets. So I ended up cutting up the ones he sent and working with what I got. I'm tired of not have a spare and having to throw my tires in the back seat during wheeling trips.

Before:

You can see it's too big of a gap and would cause a lot of movement and vibration.

So I cut and shortened it:

Test fit to make sure they work:

All goes as planned they should be burned in this weekend!!

And I thought the tire in the back seat was some kind of hipster thing that I wasn't cool enough to understand. [emoji23]
