As a start to the EClik shock install, relocated the charge controller in the way, mounted the ecu and inertia/tilt/roll sensor, and installed the new t-case shift knob/clickwheel/touch screen. I’ll wire it all when I install the shocks later this week.

The shocks are actively managed by an ECU and an inertia/tilt/roll sensor. It’s connected to the Jeep and changes dampening at up to 250 decisions per second. So if you brake, it stiffens the fronts. If you corner, it stiffens the outer shocks to kill body roll. If you drop off a ledge it stiffens them to handle the impact better. The shift knob is a click wheel and touch screen that controls the modes and fine tuning, and shows the dampening live. The modes are on road, off road, and desert/baja. All can be customized further than base settings.

Installed a dead pedal, some extra storage accessories, added the Tyger tonneau cover, and whited-out the tailgate Jeep emblem.

I continued the shock install, but it was clearly small brain Wednesday. All four went fine, until I buttoned everything up and realized I had installed the rear shocks on the wrong sides. I’m just a big dumb animal folks. I’ll fix it tomorrow. The rear reservoirs were supposed to face forward. Crap.

Small brain Wednesday happens to you as well then? I use it several times per week. It moves around freely.
