Just had the windshield replaced due to a crack from a rock. This is the 3rd windshield on 2015 JK! Had too many glass claims so to save my insurance these are all out of pocket now. 
These windshields are like magnets for rocks and can't seem to withstand even the smallest blow.

Back in 2007 just after buying my JK, I moved to California. On that drive across the country, as we were going through Nebraska, a ginormous bug met it's untimely demise on my windshield, and it's shell-like body was enough to crack the stupid windshield. Then I get to Cali and the stupid insurance company tells me, sorry, the California version of your insurance doesn't cover the windshield...

Yeah man, my buddy was with me in the Jeep, and we both saw the thing coming like a full 2 seconds before it hit, and when it hit the windshield, it exploded a mess all over the upper left corner of the windshield, and started the crack at about 1.5" long. I pulled over to clean off the bug guts and saw there was literally a chunk of glass missing. Then, as we continued the drive out to Cali, we watched as the crack slowly grew from 1.5" to a nice big spiderweb in the upper left corner of the windshield.

Lift, Gears, Wheels, Tires
I just picked up my JK today. I had some 4.88 Yukon gears installed, a 2.5 Premium Clayton Lift Kit, and put on my 18x10" Moto Metals and 35x12.5 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Used a JKS super chip to calibrate everything. I'm like a little kid on Christmas day. 
Now if I could only figure out why the TPS keeps flashing. I'm running 35 psi in all tires and the sensors seem to be working.

New shocks
I had Rancho adjustable shocks installed on my 2011 JKU Sahara with 3.5" lift and 35" Hercules TRAIL DIGGER M/T tires. Tremendous improvement in ride and handling.

I put on an EVO oil pan skid today. I had to take it off three times because I kept dropping bolts down into it through those little wrench opening holes ugh. Took me three hours what should have been about an hour but now I'm protected well with all the factory skids and a manual transmission that's up out of harm's way. I'm now ready for that CO trip this summer!
