Default BIG THANKS!!! TO JasonMac!!

Well... Where to start, the trip to Hollister last weekend was great!! However for those of you who don't know I ended up having major dead wobble when getting it on the street. So I brought it in to JasonMac's work to scope it out, after I checked for loose hardware and still had a issue. Well I didn't tell him about losing the bead(like a JACKASS!!!) anyways he checks it out finds steering stablizer completely shot(which I knew already) he when pulls my rims and tires to make sure their balanced... And can't seem to get them balanced, well he removes the tires from the rims and finds about 8 ounces of mud/water He then cleans the shit out of them, gets them balanced, replaces my stabizer and takes it for a ride. Then I guess he got bored and did some custom fab exhaust!! He call me up and tells me to stop by, I got some free time between jobs and go by to check it out! I stick the key in and started it up... I look up at him, like what did you do!!! (the sound of the NEW exhaust)My Jeep drives and feels better that stock Jason is the Man... Thank you for everything!!

P.S. Don't be a jackass like myself, always tell who ever work on your stuff the WHOLE STORY!!

Sorry about that, it was the first time we had ever reset a bead ourselves. Good to know, next time Gabe and I do our magic tire fire trick we will think to check inside first.

Glad that you got it all sorted out though so you and Gabe can do Rubicon without me

Jason that is pretty cool of you to hook up Jeff
Well I clean off the OUTSIDE of the rims and tires.... To bad the problem was on the INSIDE DW is completly GONE and the Jeep is better that Stock!!

Well that the funny thing... It happen as soon as I got on the street, before I even got to the ranger station... Forgot to reinstall the discos, I aired up to 30psi. Drove out of Hollister fine! Got to P-town and it was back BAD. Felt like I had hydo's in the front hoppin it down the block. Drove to work Tuesday and Wednesday with it wobbling CRAZY!! The other funny thing is if I drove in circles it went away!! Check all hardware seemed all fine! I knew about the stablizer before I left Hollister but thought that couldn't be the only issue. Well we now know the problem!!
