    Bistein 5150 Shocks Came In today! Yay!

    They Seemed to go on easy enough and there is no play if you put the proper bolts and washers.
    I Haven't had a chance to try em out just yet so tomorrow on the way to work will be the test run. (Doubt I'll notice too much on the street)

    The Pics:

    Swapped out the spark plugs today. It was starting to run a little rough and now is superb. Here's a pic of a worn plug:



    I'm going to try and put my offroad lights up tomorrow. Hope they look alright. I originally wanted 6-7inch rounds but found a decent set of rectangular ones. We shall see what they look like tomorrow.

    After changing the plugs the 4.7 runs completely different. It must have been pretty bad off with those old plugs. Not only does it idle better but has better throttle response and acceleration. It honestly feels like a different engine. Since I've had it, it has always felt a tad sluggish but not anymore. I would suggest to anyone with near 40k or more miles on the 4.7 to go ahead and switch out the plugs.

    THey are definitely budget lights. That's all right though. I've wired them with large enough wire to put in some higher watt lights later on. I'll probably take out the middle two and put them in the rear when I can get some money for a 100 watt 6-7 inch round set. I need to aim them a bit higher at the moment. They aim down not too far in front of me at the moment probably due to the slope of my commander without a leveling spacer in front.

    Had a rattle issue coming from passenger side front wheel area. It was sounding kind of dangerous so i pulled the wheel off to have a look. I noticed that the bracket holding the caliper to the wheel assembly was a bit loose and tightened it down. No more rattles.

    While I was playing around with it yesterday i decided to take off the rear(only) sway bar connections and give it a test drive. I notice almost no difference at any speed of sway no matter how violently i turn the wheel. It feels almost as if i did nothing to it except when i run over uneven road surfaces my whole commander doesnt go side to side anymore and the body stays flatter. I'm going to leave them off unless i find a reason to put them back on. It's a more pleasing ride in my opinion.

    4xGuard Front Skid Plate should be here today. I'll try and get some pics in tomorrow.

    I put the 4xguard plate on this morning. It went smoothly and looks great. Before I mounted it i put rubberized undercoating on the bottom part of my bumper where the guard covers. I like the black background better. I also changed the rear brake pads.


    So many parts how could they ever fit together?


    Using the described install method on the instructions. It sure would have been tough without the jack unless I had a second person to help. You can see the taped off sections where I just finished painting the Undercoat on.


    Well I guess I did have a helper but she wasn't quite up to the task of holding the guard up to the jeep.


    The finished project.
