  1. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    I did go with Clayton. I love all the components, but I wasn't happy with the net gain of the lift. They were completely transparent in that on a 4xe, it wouldn't get more than the 2.5" advertised lift, but after I installed it, I got hit by Jeep envy every time I pulled up next to another...
  2. Lift install cost

    I went to G-force Off-road in Santa Ana. The pricing was definitely one of the better ones I found and they stand behind their work. I don’t know how it will compare with all the things you are getting done, it it’s worth a visit.

    It does block the view somewhat. But it’s not bad.
  4. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    So I figure it’s about time to post another update. Once I went to the 3.5” shocks, the Jeep started suffering from an awful Death Wobble. It was crazy, I’d be driving along and all of a sudden the steering would go into seizures that wouldn’t stop. Once o had to pull over on the freeway just to...
  5. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    I was definitely nervous about that but I can honestly say I don’t have that experience at all. I wonder if some of the complaints have to do with improper installation. The shocks are set up so that you can “tune” them to either soft or sport before installation by rotating the shaft one way or...

    Just an update, I swapped the shocks from the soft setting at “1” to “2.3” and it’s not noticeably stiffer over bumps but it handles soooo much better in the turns. I’ll try out the stiff setting next and see when or if that ever is a good setting for my driving style.
  7. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    The drive is great. I’ve read a lot of people complain about Falcon shocks riding too stiff and that Fox are a much smoother ride. That hasn’t been my experience. I felt the Fox were a bit too mushy and that the Falcons ride almost identical on the soft setting. It may have something to do with...
  8. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    Well it’s been a minute, but I had to post an update on what’s been going on with the Jeep. I’ve always loved my lift. Clayton makes great parts, but one thing that I haven’t been happy with, was the amount of lift the 2 1/2” kit gave me. Full disclosure, I knew when I purchased it that on...

    I love that color. I’m not one for flashy colors on my vehicles but that one just looks so good! Congratulations!!

  11. AAL Fender retention hardware?

    Thank you all for the replies!
  12. AAL Fender retention hardware?

    To those of you with the AAL fender liners. Would you say buying the fender retention hardware is worth it? And if so, both front and back or is it a waste?
  13. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    Well, on a brighter note, I got to add on a little bit of bling today. A while back, I installed the Terra Acoustics front speakers to replace the stock ones, and I absolutely love them. They aren’t going to blow you out of the water, but they are a definite improvement over stock. The sound is...

    Im not holding my breath.
  15. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    It means I’m a target, apparently!
  16. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    Totally. I’m going to get it repaired and take the opportunity to customize the decals once I come up with some ideas. Gotta make some lemonade out of these lemons!
  17. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    I’d tell you to F yourself, if I wasn’t so busy laughing … ;)
  18. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    So some a-hole keyed the Jeep and I’m super pissed. He really went to town and got my hood and passenger front fender. As luck would have it, my dash cam didn’t catch anything and I’m going to have to get it repainted because he went so deep. Nothing much else to say. :mad:
  19. Storm Cloud - 2023 4xe Rubicon Build

    I’ve had that one for years. I was super close to changing it to IN4LO but couldn’t give it up.
