Agreed...everytime I saw a truck like that I kept thinking to myself, maybe they ran out of money and could only afford half a lift, the other half was still on layaway or something :D
Could have done the front first and send pics back showing that the Carolina Squat will never die (even when it should)...also this is in jest, I feel like a little bit of me dies everytime I see a truck setup with that squat (though it's been fewer over the years than it used to be) :D
I hypothesize it's due to the Triangle / East coast having a heavy influx of Northern Transplants of the urban variety (I also a transplant from the North but come from better stock) :D
I've been thinking the same thing and my only concern would be where the back tonneau cover and back window attach. The extruded aluminum bar that goes across that part looks like it would not work with the DS as the DS sits flush with the tub sides and goes up against the back seats. The...
I was the same and have switched back to doing my own oil changes with the Jeep.
Previously it was due to laziness as well as lack of tools (jack / stands) as the vehicles were lower to the ground than the Jeep is.
For me it's mostly cathartic, except for the stupid oil filter location on the...
After I finished my first oil change and the clean up...I was thinking along these lines as well.

While I have no issues with the drain plug (super easy to get to) does anyone have any tips / tricks on the oil filter removal that doesn't drip oil all over?
I have a few thoughts on the next time I do this, but a few things I learned were:
1. removing the engine cover and air intake helped...
I have the Asfir skids on my list and would be interested to know how they do.
Though Artec is also up there and if price wasn't a concern, Next Venture :)
I used to throw some kitty litter in the back of my truck when I was younger. Good for weight in the rear and it'll do in a pinch for helping get some traction if you do get in an icy rut. Also good for sopping up oil if you miss the drain pan when changing your oil :D
Got it, ordering parts no problem
I hope I don't need any warranty work as that seems to be the only time I'd take the jeep in at this point. Though that's typically how I usually treat my vehicles, if I'm not able to do the work, finding a reputable shop to do it and that typically is a...
