How are you liking the coilovers? Do you notice a Big difference on the street/trail?

I’m loving them!
much smother then my old springs. On the highway it’s more cloud like then battlefield. Haven’t done any moderate or difficult trails, but fire and forest roads feel much smoother.

Being a California resident I’m sure you have encountered that.”Battlefield”

When we were on our trip last weekend, I wondered into a outdoor store for a new pair of binoculars. I found this neat camp kitchen organizer. Went from this big click top box to this much smaller footprint. Still need to get something for the pots and what not, but liking how compact it is now.

Got the Jeep back from the shop today. It drives great with the new gears.
I love the Jeep community. I picked a shop with a really good reputation for gears. I know several people who have had them done there. I hadn’t ever meet the guy, just talked on the phone and dropped the Jeep off after hours. So today got the call to pick it up. He was doing a couple heat cycles. So asked me to show up at closing time. Ended up bullshiting for an hour in the shop While checking out his Jeep he’s building.

Trying to finalize this thing to hopefully make a rubicon run next month.
My current list:
-Wheel spacers
-Trim rear pinch seams
-Rear driveline is too long at full droop (probably going to put a center limit strap for now)
-Front driveline bind at full droop. Might be able to fix this with caster adjustments.
-rear output shaft seal on transfer case leaking.
-still haven’t installed front lower control arms
-got another 170 miles on gear break in, then do final gear oil change.
- have a vibration at speed, could be front driveline but feels more clutch related. Also have a tick in the clutch, I believe the throw out bearing.
- install PSC steering box
maybe I’ll get enough done to go actually wheel this thing soon.
edit: I forgot things on the list.

I have a set of Spidertrax 1.5" Spacers. Used probably less than a year when stock. They are yours if you want them.
