I don’t know of any other Jamborees, I have done them all over the country, just did one in September in South Dakota. Been to Colorado, done quite a few actually, again what’s your point?

well my point is trying to figure out what you messed up on with your jeep, if you damaged tires/rims out off roading, then i been thinking if maybe you messed up your control arm mounts.
and i seen you have trussed axles.
so maybe they were welded off set or you may have bent a axle and welded it bent.
we already talked about your frame being straight... so process of elimination.
you can be upset all you want at some of us that are commenting, heck i find it silly you did not take a buyback just because they didnt have your color.

4 weeks prior to the Jamboree my wife had hernia surgery, we couldn’t couldn’t get a refund. We went and did all green trails. There was a theft recovery Tacoma that was buried to the top of the doors 3/4 of the way down the trail. The guides ran the trail the night before and the truck was not there. They physically had to cut trees down to get the group around the stuck truck. Myself and 3 other Jl’s barley fit between the trees and all had sidewall damage. I had road hazard warranty’s on them so discount replaced them because of the sidewall cuts.

And you are assuming I did something to damage the Jeep. I don’t find it silly at all I didn’t take the buyback, if I wanted a different color I would have bought a different color.

I cut and narrow rear ends all the time, I have all the jigs to do any housing I want, I straighten the, all the time also. The axles are absolutely not bent and they are not welded crooked. Here is a rear end I literally just straightened and replaced housing ends on. I guess you will just have to trust me I did mine correctly.

I guess peoples feelings are getting hurt in this thread.
and we can no longer play.
best of luck with it, and please be safe so innocent people on the road don't get hurt.
jeep doesn't need anymore of the fuzz after us!

Just an FYI, the Jeep has all Clayton suspension, 2.5 ton steering, Dynatrac ball joints, Reid racing steering knuckles, Fox ATS dampener, Fox DSC racing shocks all tuned by Accutune for the the corner weight of the Jeep. Steersmarts brace, ApEX steering boost system. Welded and trussed axles, trussed axle c’s.

The PSC system is way too over driven and there is zero road feel to it, with a 35” tire there is absolutely no reason to have a hydro system. If you have ever actually seen the frames on these Jl’s and how they flex near the steering box I would guarantee that is the cause of the the problem on these things.

Did your Jeep have the 'death wobble' BEFORE you did all this stuff to it?

Trust me zero feelings have been hurt on my end. Can’t say the same for everyone else. Your feelings may vary. ?

No hurt feelings here either.
I just love getting under the skin of people with superiority complex.
Actually, when I was typing one of my replies to this thread, my wife commented about how much fun I was having because she saw the big smile on my face LOL

Funny my wife has been saying the same thing to me this whole time. ? And no superiority complex, just an incredibly low tolerance for the typical Internet forum wise ass comments from people that generally have no clue. I have much respect and appreciation for people that make informative comments and there have been several on here. Actually I think one of the members poll has to be updated, the informative comment percentage I believe has increased from their last count.

It takes a lot more than a few comments from a Jeep forum to get under my skin.

There is zero reason a lifted Jeep can’t do the speed limit.

Your circumstances would suggest otherwise, would they not? Otherwise, you'd be doing 75 in your Jeep.

And as for your comments about the quality of responses around here, consider the absurdity of creating a thread titled "Officially done" where 13 pages in... you still aren't. You yourself are driving the percentages because you have contributed nothing here, especially when you've made it abundantly clear that everything you're saying has already been chronicled elsewhere on the forum.

I have replied to those that made valid comments. And I have poked back at the smart ass comments. I have also had several conversations through PM.

But I’m also not going to answer what’s done to the Jeep 1000 times. Am I done with the Jeep? I 100% won’t put a dime into it because I truly don’t believe it’s a parts issue. I also don’t believe it’s anything to do with any installation issues. I would tell you the same thing I have told a few others. You think you can fix it come on over I have any tool you can possibly want. Alignment racks, frame racks, measuring systems. I would make it worth your time. I have had at least 4 people that have actually looked at it over the last year or so and all have done the same thing, shrugged their shoulders and said I have no clue it shouldn’t be doing it.

So... you're done trying to fix your Jeep, but it sounds like you're not done with Jeep?

I get your frustration. I would be frustrated too if I had put that much time and money into something and I couldn't make it work the way it should. It seems to me your options at this point are to:

A.) Keep it and trailer it to your favorite off-road destinations and back home again to avoid DW at highway speed. Make it a king-size Polaris.
B.) Have a non-injury "accident" and get a new one... but if you go that route you should stop posting about it here until the check from the insurance company clears.
C.) Trade it in. Though you'll have to wrestle with the ethics of whether to disclose the problem it has or not.

And you have officially described where I am at. With the exception of do I by another Jeep and have the same issue or buy something different and likely have issues but at least not the same issue.

That's a question only you can answer, I'm afraid. But I can say that the number of folks around here with perfectly functioning Jeeps suggests that the problem you've had is not necessarily systemic. I don't think it's a fait accompli that you'll have the same problem with a new Jeep if a new Jeep is what you truly want. And the fact that you're still here suggests that you do.

Real Jeepers work on their rigs.
They build them, break them, fix them, break them, fix them…. Repeat.

Umm... sort of... build them, fix them, break them, fix them, fix them, fix them some more, build them, fix them, and fix them again.
