so its been awhile but in the last year or so of ownership she has gone through some transformations.... starting with the failure of a wheel spacer. coming around a right hand turn, my rear spacer failed causing the tire to buckle in at the top taking out my bilstein.
needsless to say i didnt spend the money to buy new ones and bought some used XK rear shocks. since that incident my rear has not been the same. looking to tear it apart here shortly to get it right. approximately a month later i lost a silent armor to a blade in my driveway. it hit the sidewall just right, where it was unpatchable. so i ended up selling the entire set and swapping in a set of JK Sahara rims.

also in the past year i ditched my 6K HID lows/fogs in favor for some philip xtreme power lows and nokya yellow fogs. i was pleased with this for awhile but with the next round of mods ill be ditching them. heres a comparison of the two set ups. i found that the HID kit i had was starting to become more and more unreliable. at one point i was running my fogs instead of my lows regularly because my lows blew a ballast and a bulb blew/cracked as well so it would flicker and then not work at all. needless to say i wanted something more reliable so i went back to halogen.

that should bring us up to speed and current.. next round of mods and parts are already rolling in. so far i have ordered/recieved the following:
- NEW bilstein 4600s front/rear (no sense waiting months for the 5100s)
- JBA strut spacer
- Matts 1/2" rear spacer
- XK Hemi front/rear coils
- Moog strut mounts
- Moog isolators front/rear
- 4300k HIDS
- Putco jet yellow fogs
- 5 powdercoated black JK Moabs with TPMS
- rear sound deadening material
- Bendix front/rear brakes
- front wheel speed sensors
- full LED swap for my HVAC/lower and upper strip and radio (let me know if you want the contact info for this)
- trim dye for my OEM trim
thats it for now... OEM+ is in full effect. after the suspension is done, some 245/75 destination ATs will be wrapping the moabs and she will be good to go for daddy duty come July.
