Went wheeling and camping all weekend. Dented the passenger door before I had a chance to remove them and broke a rear Adams's driveshaft.
Needless to say, I am running 33's with front and rear Adams shafts. This was the first time I went out with the new shafts and it snapped the ear off at the axle side, which is supposed to be chromoly. After figuring out what to do and ruining my wheeling trip, I had to fully disassemble the front shaft and replace the cv and all u joints just to get home. After getting the u joints out, I saw that the shaft did not only snap at the ear on the axle side, but the ball in the center of the cv on the transfer case side was toast.
I drove 4 hours to break on the first trail and had to disassemble my entire front axle shaft just to get home. I spent the weekend wrenching with minimal tools.... Not happy with Adams at all and will be calling them in the morning....

Installed a smittybilt xrc rear bumper, that I got for 300$ brand new from a guy. Also went out to the river.
I had to cut the back plate off my hidden hitch that came with the bumper, the previous owner must of backed into something and hit a tree... And I couldn't get the holes to line up so off goes the plate.

Great job! That bumper looks great. Awesome pic by the lake as well.

Looks Great!
My Jeep dealer told me that
Chrysler Will cover/warranty and lifted Jeep,
As long as it is 3 inches or less of lift.
That good to hear, because I paid decent $$$
For an extended 100,000 mile warranty.
Don't know if I can get any after market lift,
As long as its 3" or less, or if I have to get a
Mopar lift?

Is that the dominion mount? Does your jack rattle? Even after adding the boot mine still rattled over bumps. It's driving me crazy!
