Thank you!
Thanks! I love the intake...now I just have to figure out how to use the extra space! Maybe a second battery or an air compressor further down the road!
Thanks! My first year was 09-10, so we didn't overlap. Last name is Zauche though.
I guess my version of a limited budget is different than others...it's limited in the sense that I'm in college and I don't have a full time job, and I pay for all the parts myself, so I have to take it slow! Really hoping to finally get the OME suspension done over Christmas break though.
Gotcha. Next time I'm up that way you'll have to show me some of those service roads! I didn't have my Jeep when I went there, so I never had a chance to explore much.

If Not Now When?
Are th rear facinf lights on your racked hooked up to your reverse lights or separate?

I took those things off as soon as I could! They were super cheap lights, and they weren't hooked up. If I did add lights back there, I'd probably have them on a separate switch just so they don't come on in reverse during the day. I imagine you could wire them up to the reverse lights and a separate switch, so if you want them on when you're parked, you could just flip them on.

Yeah that's what I would ideally do, when the time comes. I would LOVE to have all LED lighting, but it's just so expensive. Small LED back up lights could be doable though, but it's not first on the list!

Well, I got home from college for Christmas break today and look what was waiting for me! Shiny new Bilstein 5100's along with some DPG Offroad Swaybar Disconnect cables! Hopefully I'll have more upgrades/projects done by the end of break, but this is what I'm starting with!
I am most likely going to cut the boots off before installation. I'm guessing that can-down is the way to go, huh?
Also, am I supposed to use both of these rubber feet? It doesn't seem like theres going to be a lot of stem left for the nut to go on.
Sorry for the cell phone pictures!

I just wasn't aware that they squished so much, thanks!
