I think all shocks 'can' be mounted the other way up though and most that you see are.

I can't tell what shock he is running but some are made that can run this way up. Usually they are the higher end shocks and this is the preferred way of installing them to help keep crud (sand mud water) from collecting under the boot around the end of the shock.

My RC 2.2 rear shock can only be installed this way. So I can't say its upside down; it looks just fine to me

It looks a lot better than when they are silver but still I like the rims they look great but the center caps just dont do it for me no matter what... what do they look like running without them... or a while back I saw someone use like a tuna can painted black or some sort of can haha it actually looked from the factory.

Finally got around to making some brackets for my rear brake lines. I know, I am lame! I had meant to do it when I lifted it a couple of weeks ago, but forgot.
Anyway, I noticed that the lines were REALLY tight... like, holding the axle up tight when I was disconnected, so I checked on line and saw some cheap steel brackets (cheap design/quality) that cost $29.99!! Screw that.
I had some 1/8th inch Aluminum plate laying around, and just cut a couple of 1.75"x4" strips. Actual drop is about 3"

This week I've put 2000mi on it driving across the country...
I picked up the Bestop Tinted Windows for the soft top, which are awesome, but the passengerside window is missing velcro--so bestop is sending a new window my way.
I also removed some decals and decided to completely redo the decals all together in a different color, I'm gonna go flat/matte black vinyl on the black jeep.
That's about it this week...
