Northern Virginia Roll Call

I really like this wrap.

 

Asking for a friend?

 

Thanks bud. The shop that did it did a garbage job and I'm constantly finding more issues but the color is great!

 

Issues aside, how’s general maintenance with it?

 

I mean, I do nothing but pressure wash it. So no maintenance lol

 

93.83% chance. Sometimes you can use a ball joint style press to press out the seized hardware, but most of the time that doesn’t work/messes up the hardware trying. So I would have all new parts on hand before trying and then just return/sell them if needed.

 

Should I just buy moog or what

 

For alignment hardware definitely oem. I don’t think moog makes complete lcas for third gens yet so you’re stuck with oem. Unless you feel like burning out the old bushings and putting new ones in.

 

Ive got the new parts (except the LCA obviously) and the Marlin Crawler gussets that are going to go on as well

 

Moog doesn't sell replacement lowers but they do carry replacement cam bolts that are greasable however they fit pretty loosely as I checked them with the replacement LCA's and they fit sloppy with plenty of wiggle so I went with these: https://www.autozone.com/suspension...IgnoreVehicle=false&isSearchByPartNumber=true and will use plenty of anti-seize.

I picked up my aftermarket stock LCA's through Advance Auto Parts, of all places!: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...n-group-control-arm-l2000801845isg/12131849-P and https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...n-group-control-arm-l2000801848isg/12130989-P Just my two cents since I'm about to play the game...

Edit: I wish I could just add a linked hyperlink instead of the full path...

 

Ask @TacoFMS He made my LCA's with White Line bushings and Moog ball joints

Seems like a deal and a half

 

I sent him a dm

 

Who do y'all use for powdercoating in NOVA?

Me: I won't need to mod the Jeep, absolutely not!!

Also me: armor is the key to life

 

Rustoleum!

 

Nv coatings in chantilly.

 

Awesome, thanks.

 

What up noVA?!?

Is it Friday yet????????????????????

 

no

 

Any fun drug-filled early morning sales interest calls recently???

Got a decent amount of taco service interval wrenching to tackle with the neighbor this week, as well as tree clearing Thursday, weather permitting.
