I go OEM, and am seldom disappointed.

It did last 16 years, 9.50 isn't bad.

Basically I drilled it out and put a clevis pin vs the stupid plastic bushing. Mine was a zip tie away from making me stranded. I’ll find a write up on the fix later.

Unfortunately, I will not be making TJ fest this year. Too much other stuff going on. When I decided to do a tub swap, making it out to Moab became a pipe dream!

With all the irons you have in the fire, I'm not surprised. Next time.

Once I get this motorhome done, I want to spend a couple weeks in norcal... The rubicon is a bucket list item for me. Tow the Jeep, explore the country.
