Noticed a light but annoying rattle this morning coming from the transfer case shifter. Looks like I'll be going to Chrysler for the kit to fix that up. I thought it was the dreaded dash rattle but when I put my hand on the shifter it stopped. Oh well

Yeah my tcase is shifting fine but the rattle will get annoying. I saw somewhere on here that if you go to Chrysler they give you a little kit with all the bushings and whatnot. So ill probably just end up doing that. Can't cost much.

Relocated my streamlight today and figured I would show you guys where I put my cb. Still have to decide on a mounting place for my mic. I was supposed to get a retractable setup today but the guy backed out in meeting with me. Oh well

If all goes well I will be installing my lift on Tuesday. Can't wait for that. gonna look a little funny running around on stock rims+tires but whatcha gonna do.

All 4 of my tires are brand new purchased by a coworker who is the previous owner. Rims are in excellent condition and I have all the Center caps. If anyone local is interested in them I would like to trade for some 31x10.50's mounted on cragars with a good backspace. Shot in the dark but you never know

The kit was a gift from my dad for Christmas. He got me the series 2 kit from RC which is great but it's the aal kit. I will be installing the aal bc that's all I have right now. But it won't be permanent. My leafs are sagging but I have seen far worse. Even as a temporary thing I'm worried that aal won't give the boost that I'm looking for hopefully it doesn't have the cali lean going on. Lol

I'd bet it'll come out even. Aal isn't horrible...but it won't hold up over time.

Is it the 3 inch kit or 4.5?

Well.. Made a pretty stupid move a few minutes ago. Was bored on my break and figures I would clean up the bazillion screws in my headliner the po put there to hold it up. We'll the 2nd screw I move and my interior lights go out. No radio, no interior lights. So I'm guessing I pinched a wire go figure!

Well I needed to get my headliner out of there anyway so looks like I'm going to tackle that after work! Shouldn't be too bad I can't see it being that much work. Do you guys think ill be able to stick the sound bar up there with no headliner in? Just as a temporary thing until I get new material for it.

Well just got done fixing the wire in the headliner. Had to take everything apart had a few fuses blown but we're back to normal now.

Notice the thousand screws the po put in the headliner. I move one and blow right through a wire. Just my luck. Lol


Btw, yes it hurt to just have the headliner completely out and not redo it. But I wasn't planning on doing this anyways so I wasn't prepared with the materials to do the headliner in. But hey at least I know how to do it for next time

Found these rims on craigslist for 50 bucks. Just what I was looking for 4.75 backspace. As soon as I hear back from him I'm going to get em!

They will be painted black.. Of course.
