What was done to your rig this week?

Couple weeks ago I added a swimming pool to my rig. All the footwells looked like that or worse.

HAHA. I know this pain. I left the doors off during rainy season once.. I took all the plugs out after that so it can all drain. And then add the local gas station shop vac, and its all good to go.

With a 3/4 inch and 5/8 inch wrench.

They aren't quick discos.

So the quality outweighs the benefits of pulling pins

For me yes. And not to mention I got hosed when I bought my discos and a fellow jeeper ripped me off but it is what it is at this point.

Well that sucks, I've had good luck dealing with guys on here so far

He was on here for a little bit but is more on JKF. He told me these were the 2.5-6" lift discos and since I had just bought my jeep I said sweet ill take them. Hell he even had them in a package that said 2.5-6" lift. After waiting 3 months to install them I realized what he had done. He must have bought new discos (had a Sahara) and swapped the packages to sell these for more money. Real shady thing to do but he'll get what's coming to him eventually I'm sure. Live and learn I guess.

 

[JKbrick]

Well karma is a bitch as my wife says. So what are they then? I could buy them for spare parts possibly

What is the benefit?

I gotta do something about mine and have to make a decision.

 

[JKbrick]

These are what I have if they look alike

They are adjustable from 0-2.5" of lift. Looks like yours are just quick discos an not adjustable.
