Well I did pretty good balancing the wheels. I know the rears are much better than the front, but that was my learning curve. Only slightly noticeable up around 70mph. I’m going to fuss with them a little more this afternoon.

I can imagine that there must be a tool to lift the spare. If I can imagine it, it must exist! Where is it?

At your local Discount Tire store

I am sure they have all the good stuff. I assume that you have seen them use a special tool?

Yes. To remove and reinstall the spare when I drop my Jeep off for a five tire rotation, they lift it with two tire technicians.

What do they charge me? Bubkis. It’s all part of their excellent customer service.

The factory tie rod just said nope! I guess I’ll adjust the toe later

Time for an upgrade.

Time for an upgrade.

I was thinking the same thing! Especially with a new axle coming at some point.

Getting ready to roll out for a little camping.

And the axel showed up just before I got home.

AWESOME! I can't wait until the day a box like that arrives at my door. Lol.

It’s definitely a fun feeling when you see it!

Well I’m finding the fridge doesn’t like the outlet in the very back of the compass. To much voltage drop, it’s fine with the keyed outlet up front though. Hopefully the rear one can just maintain one’s it’s cold. Or I just start it up every couple of hours. I mean it’s only an overnight trip, tomorrow.

I was wondering about that. It seems that the fridges of any useful value take more power than factory wiring (and fuses) can handle. So most people end up running new wiring.

Maybe if you get it cold first and then you put it in the car it might work?

With the motor running hooked up, up front it’s fine. I’m gonna try the rear outlet again once it’s cold. The hard wire kit is going in the wrangler . This jeep doesn’t go on many of the adventures.
