I removed a leaf per side and added some 4° shims. Best upgrade so far. The ride went from dump truck to caddy and the vibes are completely gone. It is so quiet inside without the drive shaft drone. So happy now. Going to take the Jeep on a 1000 mile trip this weekend and that is exactly what I needed.

Spent two hours at the dealer for recall N47 regarding aftermarket hitches. There is risk of fire/explosion from a rear impact.
They removed the Curt hitch and installed OEM. It sits higher in bumper and the attachment arms are much longer, extending past forward edge of gas tank. Free of charge due to being a recall.
Will also get a $100 Visa card from Jeep (reimbursement for my time).

Im diggin that bottle opener lol. I got one from home depot and put it on my tire carrier.

Let's see, Over the past month or 2 I have replaced the entire cooling system (except heater core), installed a trans cooler, Installed a Teraflex high steer kit, painted my wheels safety orange, put new brakes on the d44 and d30, installed new pod led's, new PCV valve, and a few stickers for a power gain.

Only pics I have right now but she is back together





Yup, that is overspray on the tires. Nope, I don't care. The rocks will take care of most of that anyway.

That's the same recall for ZJs right? I didn't know they would replace aftermarket hitches with mopar...Does it depend on the aftermarket hitch or as long as it doesn't have a mopar hitch they'll replace it?

I changed the oil (first change 100 miles after I replaced the head). I decided to go with high mileage 10W-30 this time around. I aired down my super Swampers to 20 psi, I will run them like that for the weekend and see if it improves the ride some. I also replaced the blower motor resistor. Sorry no pics ;(
