Nice rig and trailer. Where is the tree you are driving under, that is very cool. Congrats on your jeep, what plans do you have for it?

How many times in this life are you going to live on an island in that beautiful climate? Sell the GC. Get a soft top, and or a safari top for the JK and live the jeep life in the tropics, baby... Once in a lifetime, do it right and have fun...:wings: Skip the practical side of things and...

Snow pics Just a few quick ones, as it is kinda rare in these parts. Really liking the jeep after the snow driving over the last 24 hours and I gotta say, I am so lucky to live in my spot. John

Thanks Jim. The more road miles I get on these the more I am convinced this was a significant upgrade. Looks like Saturday is going to warm up again. We had snow yesterday and they are calling for single digit temps tonight... definitely does not happen often in this region of NC... But...

Good question. It is not death wobble, but more of a shimmy. This is not a vibration, like a driveshaft issue, definitely something in the steering. , happening now at 51/52 mph before new LCA's tonight it was happening at 41-44 mph and this afternoon that changed to a less severe shimmy. I...

I am not big on endorsing products, because everyone's experience may be different, but with this very limited experience, I can say that I am impressed with the company and the product. Big impact on ride quality. John

Metal Cloak LCA install Received my order from Metal Cloak today. Not bad, even though they say 3 weeks, I ordered on Jan. 15 and received today. I appreciated the fact that they included UPS shipping info and that you can access the tracking info right from your account log in on the MC...

Sweet! My first jeep was a 1982 Scrambler. Kick myself often for selling it. Good luck on your build. John

I will be getting the control arms, or should be, on Monday. I am going to install sometime this week, I hope, if not it will be next weekend. I am going to do that first and see where I am. Plan for that work session is to add the bilstein rear shocks, add the control arms, add 1" more...

Thanks!

Congratulations and good luck with it!

Do you have a link to the 10lb propane tank? I looked on the AT site and cannot find it. Would be just right for a future kitchen build for our pop up. Thanks - enjoying your high quality build. John

Hate to say it but rethinking and rethinking. It is so HARD to not get caught up in Upgraditis... so trying to keep reality in mind... I am thinking at this particular moment in time that I should stay with my current lift, evaluate shimmy after I install new control arms (arriving on Monday...

:wings: We can only hope for something "real" in the snow realm... Still plenty of winter left (predictions of 10 - 14 degrees tonight in my section of NC) Hope, hope, hope...

Just re read this. So you think Rear track bar bracket, front adjustable and what about the sway bar links? needed or no? Thanks, John

So if I go to 4" lift, do I need a: Adjustable front track bar Rear track bar bracket Rear driveshaft Rear sway bar links? Right now I am at 2.5 with .75 spacers in rear (jeep sits level) and I have all stock except the lift. Any input would be appreciated. John

Finally installed a new CB today. Have not had one in several years, but with an upcoming organized trail run, thought I would add it. Just went with a low end cobra, small enough to mount to the driver side of the console and not interfere with anything. As for the MC discount, I think it...

Got a call yesterday from Will at MC. Just calling to say thank you for the order and see if I had any questions... :coffeedrink: That kinda makes me think this is a decent company who believes in connecting with their customers. It could all just be fluff depending on the actual product, but...

Thanks Jack. When they come in, I will be posting what I hope will be a thorough review and install. They are 2 - 3 weeks out on shipping. I am hoping to get them in and installed before a planned February 15th trail ride I have planned with my older son for his 19th birthday... private land...

Ordered front upper and lower control arms today from Metal Cloak. Really looking forward to this. I had all currie on my 2003 and from my reading and advice from a few trusted resources going with MC this time. Hoping for durability and good ride. Psyched:)
