Got my second jeep into the new house... not sure which one I will have more fun with my actual TJ or this bad boy

For the price, I'm thrilled with how well these shocks ride, and are holding up!Replaced my Pro Comp rear shocks with Black Max and took it down some pretty rough and wash boarded roads. Quite a noticable improvement. I dont think it can get much better without going to custom tuned shocks, once I get my spare tire on I think they'll be perfect.
Bitch!Another reason I'm glad to live in Texas. These are the upper shock bolts.

Largest job on the TJ to date. @mrblaine could handle it, @Squatch could handle it, @Chris probably could handle it - but I barely handled it myself:

This screw was starting to rust as this pocket holds water in certain orientations. Replaced it with a 316 stainless. Whew! It was dicey there for a bit, but I got 'er done! Even oriented the washer in the correct direction...
Looks to me like you installed the washer wrong side up.Largest job on the TJ to date. @mrblaine could handle it, @Squatch could handle it, @Chris probably could handle it - but I barely handled it myself:

OEM is black. Replacements have to be black. I just wire brush and paint them with a satin DTM.I did the same thing with all my little trim screws and switched them to stainless just so they don't look unsightly. It's one of those little OCD things that bothers me
Nope. One always installs the "sharp edge" of the washer away from a painted surface! Not many people know this.Looks to me like you installed the washer wrong side up.
I tend to agree, and have painted lots of them for that very reason. But this one is actually half underwater when it rains - so I went with the stainless.OEM is black. Replacements have to be black. I just wire brush and paint them with a satin DTM.
McMaster sells black oxided stainless fasteners.I tend to agree, and have painted lots of them for that very reason. But this one is actually half underwater when it rains - so I went with the stainless.
True enough - would cost $5 by the time it got here. I don't care that much!McMaster sells black oxided stainless fasteners.

Lots and lots of steps to itI honestly have no reason to do a tummy tuck but this forum makes me want to do things I don’t need to do all the time.
I have most of them done already.Lots and lots of steps to it
And it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that bling - doo wop doo wop doo wop doo wop!Same here
Was it bank 2 sensor 1? If so, what brand sensor did you use? I replaced mine with an NGK and I still have the same code. Worked fine for about 3 days. I’m thinking I need to buy OEM. Would like to know what others have experienced with the 2/1 O2 sensor.I replaced the upstream O2 sensor on the little 4.0L. It’s have a couple error codes over the last couple months. With the rear window open I noticed it was running rich. When starting it would have to turn over a few times before starting; I thought maybe a battery problem was causing that. After reading that one of the side effects of a bad upstream sensor was it ran rich I decided to replace the sensor. Now it starts up quicker. I want to now go down and top off the tank to see if I get a little better mpg’s from it too.
