Upgraded gauges from idiot lights to full gauges and white faces. next i want to put in all led lights. I have a couple lights out in the dash, should have done it all at once but to late now! used Christmas lights to light up the gauges while i set the new overlays on. easier than doing it in the truck like they tell you to, plus you can see what the gauges look like with different color lights.

Thumbs up

Meet up with the Jersey Shore Jeep Club for a great day of trail riding! New shocks worked great, and was nice to listen to music with out the crackling of blown speakers.

New control arms, bushings, and sway bar links

Now i need new bump stops to keep from ripping the flares off. Maybe cut fenders or flat flares would be cool!

Ordered all the shocks at the same time, but they sent the wrong shocks for the rear. It took Four Wheel Parts over a month to get the right ones to me. The sales guy was the problem with not getting the right parts, because once I talked to a manager everything got to me in two days. But I'm extremely happy with these shocks, Jeep drives get on and off road.
