For starters I would like to shout out to Eric Miles @ www.offroadelements.com such an awesome guy always there to answer my questions at all hours and exceptional and over the top customer service. Any chance I get I order from him even if it cost a couple extra bucks his service is worth more than that. About 90% of the parts I've ordered are through him.

Surprise Straps installed!! Such an amazing product, I did not expect them to be so heavy duty. Exceeded my expectations for sure and install took 5 minutes tops!

Gotta change the oil still on her


Rear end setup
Need to order rear sway bar endlinks


Since I won't buy new wheels and tires (37s) until these are trashed which will take awhile since they are only 4 months old, I decided to paint the stock wheels for now.



DynoMax Evolution Competition P/N: 39516 DOES fit the 2dr also, I had to cut off 2.5" and finagle the rear exhaust hanger bracket, but I love it and sounds great. Also it sounds great with my Banks intake.

My tires look so small! :cold:

Did a few things to the Jeep today. Anyone else have suggestions of things I should do maintenance wise?

-Duralast Idler Pulley
-Duralast Serpentine Belt
-Oil Change Mobil 1 5w-30 Full Synthetic
-Bosch 3422 Oil Filter
-New Drain Bolt w/ Washer
-Autolite Platinum Spark Plugs (gapped .050)
-Removed Exhaust Heat Shield
-Rotated Tires

Anyone know how to stop this corrosion on my battery terminal?


Randoms:




How the old plugs looked, no clue how long they have been in the Jeep.


Is the angle of the front driveshaft bad?



yep anti-seize on the threads and grease on the other end. I didn't put grease in the plug wire end, should I have? Well I didn't think about wires, maybe I should. I just got the Autolites since they were just as good as OEM replacement ones and $1 cheaper. I am at 55,140 right now. Just like keeping up on maintenance and wondering what else to tackle. If someone doesn't pass on something good to buy the extra hundreds will go into my AR15 or towards my E30 325 BMW Coupe build I will be doing soon, once I source a rust-free one.
