    Adjustable length front LCAs, set about 1/2" longer than OEM definitely help with the front end stability and death wobble. @HolyHandGrenade try turning up your caster to see if that let's it drive without a steering stabilizer.

    Fuck turning wrenches, I wanna go wheeling; So I sold the taco.

    That's going to be a rough year. Get your testosterone level checked and get a script for TRT before you get the surgery.

    LoL and that was a fucking lie. 13 months later (15 months post repair) and it's pretty close to recovered.

    Finished the tire carrier, added a hoop for my lightbar on the front, and found a new way to use the mag drill.

    Welcome back, and congrats on the business success. Employees are definitely a level up moment. Any love for the jeep gladiator? God knows the OEM bumps are crap.

    It depends if the vehicle weight (sprung and un-spring) is changing too. If everything except spring rate is constant you'd need more rebound damping and less compression damping to keep the ride quality consistent. In my case I needed more spring rate to account for increased weight, both to...

    What's surprising is that compression valving seems to be okay. With the OEM springs I was thinking I needed bypass shocks, but with the heavier springs front and rear I'm thinking a 2" smoothie should dial it in nicely; although bypasses would still be nice.

    Well that made all the difference, OEM front coils were not just worn out, but also under-spec from jump. I also need more rebound valving, the higher spring rate is too much for the Rubicon shocks to handle.

    I'll check them out. Send cut send was pretty reasonable, and I've got a batch of parts on the way.

    Anyone have a suggestion for small batch CNC laser cutting? I need about 100 pieces total, three different parts, cut from 3/16.

    It's life. I didn't buy a Honda Civic on purpose. Yup, oil use test is in progress,

    The dealership theory is that the cam issue and the oil use are the same problem. We'll see in a few k miles.

    #LegendaryMoparReliability Just got the gladiator back from getting the intake cam replaced after a rocker failure wiped a lobe off the cam. Apparently this is a thing... Hopefully the knocking and the cylinder 1 misfire goes away. Separately, anyone know of a good O2 sensor simulator for...
