Not in the Jeep, but drove round trip to next venture (about 8 hours) to pickup replacement skid plate and bumper skin, and rocker armor pieces. It was a blizzard for three hours on the way. All melted by the time I was on the way back.

For the second time. So impressive. I saw it in September when they were barely moved in. They’ve got production down to a science now. Even a robotic welder that does 5 hours of work in 17 minutes. They’ve got things going so smoothly now that they’re stocking finished products.

I actually told them today that their rear bumper would be my first choice, if I weren’t worried about destroying it with my…me.

So, this weekend I finally got around to installing Xmas gift (Bilstein 5100's). After installing driver's front, moved to passenger front. Much to my dismay, opened the box with same part number as the driver's side, to find there was a rear shock in the box:mad:. So, I'm riding with 3 new Bilstein and 1 old Rough County, while I battle the 3rd party Amazon shipper for exchange. Since I'm past their 60day policy, I may be S.O.L. and have to eat $110.

OUcH!!!! Do you have a 4X shop close? Maybe take it there and see if you can do an exchange since you still have the shock in the box. I’ve found 4X shops are easier to work with than online businesses a lot of times. It’s that personal touch thing.

Great idea. But. White Lake, MI. I really hope that means Detroit, for their sake.

Front diff was a lil dark and Grey.
Rear diff came out golden. Then I found this lil fella on the plug magnet.
