In the process of swapping out my old OME shocks for new OME Long Travel Shocks along with Teraflex Lower Control Arms.

The garage.


Loading the tires into my wife's Subaru Tribeca to have them balanced at Discount Tire. They won't touch them on the Jeep because of the wheel spacers.


The old shocks on the rear axle.


Rear axle old setup: spidertrax wheel spacer, OME shock, factory control arms.


Front axle old setup:

Installed rear spring retainers.


More to come. Installed new steel braded front brakelines, front bumpstops, front shocks and soon to have front and rear lower Teraflex flexarms.

 

I bought mine. CM

 

Awesome, welcome aboard, and your first post to boot.

 

I installed a mic and hooked up my U-connect. That's some pretty cool technology!

 

I installed 6" KC Lights on my windshield. I love when people cut me off on the Dan Ryan Expressway now.

 

Very nice JK MOOSE
luv the black and white combo and sweet mods

 

New front bumper. Installed the Olympic BOA front bumper after I watched a guy in the parking lot outside my office window back into the front bumper. Minor damage but his insurance company's estimate was over 500 dollars - including paint prep and paint??? I guess I need someone to back into my back bumper next.

So I told them to send me the check and I'd get it done. I went with the Olympic because I liked the integral semi-stinger and it took the factory fogs. It's a super strong bumper and (I think) looks great.

Thanks to wayoflife, I was able to get my new Shrockworks Mid-width Bumper installed today. Also, dressed up the fenders a bit more (they were looking a little rough). Thanks again Eddie...
