Installed my soft top.
Hows the ride any differentI finally got around to replacing the stabilizer & front shocks with the Fox 2.0 ATS / 2.0 Performance IFP. So that's 3 Fox given (@GreyFox gives zero ). I'm expecting the rear shocks Monday & I'll get to them next weekend.
The bolts on the stock stabilizer bracket were a bitch to remove... that thread lock was something else. I needed the fury of a thousand suns heat gun to remove one of the bolts...dang near almost stripped it. I think @Bricazo was eating Wheaties.
One correction, @Roky … replacing the stabilizer actually was incredibly easy... so now I have to stake claim to being that living proof you speak of.
Replacing the front shocks can be done without removing the inner fender liner (I didn't). It would be easier if you removed them, but it ain't necessary since you can still get to the upper 18mm bolt.
It’s a Rail System, So you can move the mount in ANY position you please, it’s all user preference. We have it right in the middle of both the vent and infotainment screenI've been lurking this mount for a while! Question. it seems like it blocks your view of the u-connect and the A/C vent with the phone attached? Do you find this to be the case?
Quadratec aluminum engine and trans skid installed on my 2-door. The current 4 door plate will work on the 2 door if you make a hole for the fuel tank skid stud in the cross member or just cut off the stud like I did. I made a visit to Quadratec and worked with the engineers there. They have updated the site so that current skids say 4 door only and will update when they have the 2 door's ready (the hole for the 2 door's did not make it into production).did lose a little ground clearance but the protection from this thing is better than the alternative these things are stout. I was talking was talking to Quadratec engineers, while developing the skids the engineers used a jack to lift the vehicle off the ground from multiple points plates and cross members.
There's a noticeable difference over the stock shocks, but the largest bump I rolled over was a large neighborhood speed bump on a test drive. They're a little more bouncy at the slower speed, but still smooth. I'm waiting to get the rear shocks on next weekend to get a better feel for them altogether. So far, I like the way the fronts feel.Hows the ride any different
I don't see dirt...judgment-free zone.We installed the AAL high gloss black inner fender liners a few nights ago. Install was straight forward and think they look great! Please excuse how dirty it is.
