Thanks man. Yeah Jared (JeepSpeed18) is one cool guy, he's helped me with just gaining knowledge on the Jeep game.

Any plans for armor?
As long as we aren't playing Oregon, I hope they win.

As of right now, I'm looking to solve some of my front end vibe issues. The alignment significantly reduced them, however getting some around 58-62. Thinking about getting a IRO double shear track bar, or maybe keep my eyes open for some adjustable LCA's. But yes, eventually some armor

Got it cleaned today decided to take some more post-lift pictures, as the only ones I had were of the night I finished. I have been busy with school.

So I have been dealing with some vibrations, and not sure where to start my quest as to get rid of them. So a cheap try, actually free try, was to get the tires balanced and rotated. Took them down last night, and the tech told me there was cupping in the right front, which probably led to some vibrations, and placed that tire on the rear. Come to find out that was 98% of my vibrations. Im still feeling VERY faint at about 65, so a sye will be in for down the future. But it is MUCH better than before

As for updates, today I purchased this:



I also had a H4 headlights, wiring harness, and Dynomax catback on my list for Christmas. We will have to see!

The snow came today Not a foot, but around 6 inches in the valley. The drive to school today was slow going!

Also, the alternator went bad on the way home. So now to change it out. It's going to be a wet job I think

Thanks man! Its a slow going process, but its going. As far as the snow, this is the first snow of the year, which is really odd around here. Our local ski resort isn't even opening, however with this storm, they open tomorrow. Some nearby mountains are expected up to 3 feet overnight!

They do look very similar! I have been thinking about ditching the side trim. The only reason I haven't is I spend a lot of time in parking lots, and don't want the little dings. Other than that, I think they look better without the trim!

I noticed in the pictures above, why is your front flare black, and the rear is faded? Did you do something to the front? It looks good

Where are you at in Idaho? I grew up there just outside Boise and I still follow the Broncos.
