Does your radio drown it out fairly well?

Haha. Absolutely!! I have 4 Infinity speakers (the ones with the little built-in tweeters) and a 9" sub on a 200w amp and my Sony Xplod head unit. It cranks.

I thought about getting a cutout, but it doesn't sound as good. I had 2.5" pipe with a cat and 4x18" tip. Man that thing rattled!

Where'd you get the seals from? I got some nasty ones on my 99. Also, was it pretty easy? I mean it seems straight forward enough. Lol remove, replace.

The door seals were Mopar OEM and the hatch seal was Rugged Ridge. I'll ask my dad where he got them from.

The hatch seal was easy enough. Just has to loosen some trim pieces to make it a little easier and then trim the seal to fit.

The door seals were a little more annoying because you have to remove/loosen the sill guard, the kick guard, the a-pillar trim piece (the one that goes from the a-pillar to the b-pillar), and remove the seatbelt and b-pillar trim piece.

Not too bad of a thing to do though. Lol. Just make sure you have some of those cheapo plastic trim removal tools (available at any harbor freight). They make removing panels and putting the seals in a little easier on the hands.

Yea I need to get some of those tools anyways.

What sucks is my door sil trim pieces (ones on the bottom of door) the screws that hold em in are rusted out. I'm a have to drill em all out. Makes something simple a lil more of a PITA.

Mine are broken and missing some screws (PO...) so they're only held in with two screws each (near the front)... At least I don't have to remove the seats to get them off any more. Lmao

Just ordered Teraflex 3/4" coil spacers, new isolators (nets 1.25" lift), and Rubicon Express 1.5" lift blocks w/ longer u-bolts from Quadratec.

Found hockey picks at Dick's for $1.99, so I gotta pick some of those up.

Looks like my Rough Country steering stabilizer has finally kicked the bucket... Easy to move one direction, hard the other, and zero rebound.. Probably going to look into that new stabilizer from Fox Racing.

I'm not sure a steering stabilizer would cause all those problems, unless it was just seized up. Have you removed it and see how it handled?

I'm honestly running out of things to check. Lol. Everything is tight in my suspension. The steering stabilizer is the only thing that could be causing the DW (or... not preventing it. lol). If a new shock cures my DW, Imma be a happy dude.

I think I took it off a while ago and iirc I had instant death wobble. Lol.
