Didn't think of that. I may just leave it as is...I hate dealing with the title people.

Some silly over popular brand name that people overpay for.

On your DW, have you checked out the control arm bushings? Mine seemed fine. I swapped them out and it made a HUGE difference.

could be a mixture of a few things on a DW, is your steering stabilizer newer? are your sway bar bushings all in good shape?

IMO, neither of those things should have anything to do with death wobble. Any properly set-up vehicle should operate just fine with neither of those installed.

that is true. but the stabilizer could lead to the DW starting after a bump. and yes, the control arms can be one at a time without near as much trouble as taking them all off, you should be fine, maybe a little hard to get the bolts out and back in if anything.

Looking good. I did this just before it got cold definitely got to stay on top of it. Luckily my jeep has zero rust and I'd like to keep it that way.

I like the paint scheme on the fenders and everything btw. Can't wait to do mine like that. With plasti dip though

Washed it for the first time in the day light. Paint looks pretty good. For some reasons hood doesn't meet flush with my header panel..it's about half an inch short...tried adjusting it and just ended up saying screw it..
Cleaned my garage too...got my new hood and stock bumper layed out

Just a couple cell phone pics:
Ill put up better pics I took with my camera as soon as I find my laptop
