Unfortunately I still have bad vibes due to what I believe to be bad rear axle bearings.... I'll be changing those out next weekend. While I had the rear jacked up I spun the the passenger tire and got some nice clunking noises. I also noticed that I can push and pull the whole wheel & axle shaft a good 8th inch or so, making a clanking, on both rear wheels.Have you driven it and noticed any more vibes over stock? They use a harder rubber compound.
PsrivstsWent for a long relaxing drive looking at the fall colors that are going away already.
Really like how the Jeep stands and drives today. The height is really perfect for everyday driving. @David Kishpaugh did a really stellar job setting up the custom midarm with 3" lift with custom shocks from @pcoplin. I'm truly lucky to have my Jeep locally worked on by such nice and such talented people.
Still have few more things to take care of and then my build will be over. Hoping to get "finally finished" by end of the year.

And how do you like them ?
Man. Nice Jeep. I'm envious. I like the switch to black flares. I never liked that stock semi matching color.Five weeks after someone crashed into me and totaled my Black LJ, my custom shop came across an 06 that had just a bit more miles, but was built just a bit better too. After a thorough search underneath and a rewarding test drive, I agreed to purchase. But not before I added a few goodies. A week later it was ready to pick up and Friday I drove her home. Went for a drive today. That scorching hot Cali sun couldn’t have felt better through the alien shade. View attachment 184409View attachment 184410
If that wasn't a design requirement it should have been. Lol.Posted the first picture in the TJ thread as well but picked up some new shoes for the LJ along with a 5th wheel for the spare. Just gotta track down a tire. Fun fact you can fit 4 33's in the back of an LJ!

Wow just like the Tesla...you could name it Jeep-la lolSo I used to have a Tablet in the dash - cut in to the dash, bluetooth everything from ignition to underbody lights and music, maps offroad and on, email for work, etc — served me faithfully for years, but now I want to upgrade

Agreed, thanks! I think it goes well with the black color of the jeep as well since the middle of the seats are black. The lighter khaki interior I'v convinced myself works since the camo has some light tans...Goes well with the colour of the Hard top..I like it
Nice looking Jeep! I'm partial to the color!Went for a long relaxing drive looking at the fall colors that are going away already.

Friday I picked up a hard top. As much as I like the doors off, top off feel, the air conditioning and quiet ride are nice with the hard top. Now I just need two Jeeps, one with a hard top, one with a bikini top.
@Viking Jeeper How do you like those Fuel wheels? I'm having a hard time deciding between those and the Methods, I have Methods on my F250 and love them but I know nothing about the FuelsFriday I picked up a hard top.
