I hear you. The more I read though the more gets put on the list of things to do.

Synergy adjustable CAs on all four corners now. So nice to be able to adjust in place.

Pushed the back axle out an extra 1/2" to center in well better.

Free bump. Great looking build. I haven't been on the forum in years and I'm about to post a build thread. Very cool to see another red rock, let alone another 2 door red rock. We have a lot of the same mods. The cage looks awesome - that's probably next on the list for me.

New summer doors now installed. Will see how windy it gets on the way up to Tahoe.

Slight incident with a tree on the Rubicon, so had to replace the rear licence plate holder. Have been looking at the AEV corner protection guards?? Still undecided.

Well with new ball joints, would be rude not to throw on some Reid Racing knuckles and unit bearings also.

With the Reids having a flipped drag link, got rid of the thin battered stock track bar bracket for a raised weld on version.
