ended up winning a $150 gift certificate to Advance Adapters, a sweet dash mount for gps/ cell phone, without realizing it a pair of jks quick disco's for a jk, a $100 off a rear bumper with tire carrier from AtoZ fab which unfortunately only makes wrangler bumpers, a big jeep stein, and a jeep beach towel...

picked up some new rims for the 35's im gonna be getting:
i have wanted these rims since i got into jeeps... also had to re-do my exhaust cause it was so annoying it was breaking off before the muffler and tailpipe was bent into the gas tank skid...found my shackle bushings are shot went to order some but rubicon express sold multiple size pieces so i have to remove my shackles to measure then order correct bushings...

replaced my rear shackle bushings...and i thought it was safe to assume that rubicon express bushings for rubicon express shackles would fit no problem...wrong they had to be trimmed to fit....
