Inspected for leaks, checked things over for any anomalies.
In the process, I found something almost as reliable as MOPAR batteries -

I thought, ok, maybe it's a bit of oil from the pan or drain plug. Nope, engine dry as a bone.

Oh, great, while looking over at pan to determine if the oil on the left shock came from the engine and looking beyond the engine.........

Oh, well, they are only wet on one side, the front of each is pretty dry. I can just turn them around later.

Put together the matching rugged ridge mesh screens for my Fortis tube doors. They come with a carry bag for the off season.Also a long strip of velcro for a cleaner install , and an application wipe to promote adhesion. They don't provide a clean seal.But I really only got these to protect my girl.

Yes, this. Big advantage, IMO. Some may not care about a pound or two, but I try to get them all as even as possible, yes, running from tire to tire with a gauge and then checking TPMS LOL.
Talk about OCD.
I like your system - set the pressure and they all air up and equally. Can't be different with this setup.
It's waaay overkill for me and my Jeep use, but if I were doing other things with it, I can see myself with that sort of setup.
You can also build your own external system. I originally built this for use at the trail head airing down or up but find it as useful when the seasonal temps change and the tire pressures need to change with them.

Great idea. Now that we're finally out of cold weather (hopefully - still had freeze warnings and cold daytime highs last week) it's time to air mine back down from the winter pressure.
I went around the truck probably 3 or 4 times last winter to get them all up evenly. This is a heck of a lot better system.
Great idea. Hook onto all 4, reduce pressure at one spot until it reads your goal at that gauge - disconnect, done.

Started to install my Frankenstein lift today. Got the rear end done. Tomorrow I'll do the front end. I'll post more details when I'm done.

Ducked up my molle panel install for my GMRS radio and drilled right through the factory harness. Luckily I had a spare because I previously broke the clips on the original panel from too many removals.

Sure enough this wire shorted and blew the fuse. Just so happened to be a constant lead. Took a few attempts to figure out which fuse, but there’s only so many things that makes sense to rub through that harness.

If you cant get them replaced under warranty i have a handful of oem shocks in my garage. They’re yours for the cost to ship.
