    I'll check it out today
    I hate cats. My first job was working at a vet and the exact same thing happened on the reg. I eventually just started using the stick thing with the loop at the end on them.

    I am not the typical Jeep hater, just don't care for the people that drive them typically. This thing is sitting at our dealership right now. Its a beast!

    My coworker was like "i thought you didn't like Jeeps?" I told him i don't mind them especially when someone has this much money to dump into them to make them look like this. Then again, wonder if he wheels it or if its just for looks? Might also be the owner or employee of jeepers den.

    I wonder too. A lot of the jeeps where I live are built up and never see dirt. That one has beadlocks and everything so it has to at least get some action. Their parts are cheaper too.

    That's nice since you also have to replace them all every time they brake

    Looks like I'll be replacing my starter plunger and contacts sometime this week, she started the click click click on me this weekend. Battery is strong so leads me to the starter.

    I was going to wait to reveal the finished product, but these are looking too cool not to share. Tinted the turn lenses and added led strips to both sidea. But what's cool is these leds point forward instead of straight up.

    All that's left is to finish my special little touch i have planned for the orange reflectors on the sides.

    While they look good I just personally am not a fan of the LEDs below headlights unless in an Audi.
    Even all the other vehicles that have them now they just look cheesy to me.
    Especially the XSP.
    But to each their own just my opinion.

    Jason, I'm curious how are you wiring them up.
    Are you doing a separate switch for the LED's

    I have a few mods
    I do believe that about 95% of my vibs are gone now, after the shim install and replacing all 3 of the ujoints.....almost nothing. its nice driving around and not worrying about hitting certain speeds, 40 is smooth and so is 70...I love it also got rid of my engine whine too by finally replacing the damn tensioner bearing lol

    my rear end also got a nice little upgrade, now that I got new bumpstops and the shims, that enabled me to finally get around to installing the ubolt flip kit and everything else

    here is the culprit, this one was just aft of the slip yoke
    [​IMG]

    the upgraded rear end

    with all 4 wheels on the ground

    that bearing was shot lol :eek:
