I opened up the tailgate and rear window to check out the dealers "repair" for the rear window defroster. I discovered that the repair lasted less than a day. Now I gotta go get my $$ back!

I added a little "class" to the Jeep today. It is now sporting a new black Ford Bronco antenna. The Ford Bronco antenna has a rubber coating and is a few inches shorter than the original. What do you think, keep it or put the stock one back on?

It looks great, but your antenna cost you $60k? There are cheaper options

I think you “might” have the shelf upside down…unless you purposely intended to use it that way
You can flip it either way, but the instructions have it this way so I said ?‍♂ and did the same. This way works well because we can stack things higher I’d think. But if you have to worry about flooding then I would’ve flipped it for sure. I’m on a hill though so I was good with this way.

Not exactly TO my Jeep but more FOR my Jeep.

Since I've installed the 37s and the lift, I can't clear my garage anymore by a few inches.

So I bought the RollnJack and put it together for when I swap out the soft top in about a month. Took about 30 minutes

Dropped it off at Ken’s Kar Kare to have a regear to 4.56 and f/r Truetracs installed. Should be done Weds or Thurs.
How much are they charging you for the gear change?

Installed the @Rival 4x4 Aluminum Muffler Skid. Went on super easy: loosen 4 sway bar bracket bolts, slip mounting brackets between sway bar brackets and frame, re-tighten using factory hardware. Passenger rear attachment super simple with nut-insert; surrounding holes are large enough to easily get fingers in there to hold it down while you tighten. Driver side rear attachment was a little trickier, especially with the factory tow package. No access to hold down nut-insert so had to get creative. Used a magnet while inserting bolt up through frame hole - held in place long enough to get thread started, then everything tightened up fine. Super sturdy, looks great. Thank you Rival for a quality product (and keeping me from having to paint my muffler black ;)).

Love that black stylish look ?

Good luck. I’ve taken mine in once and did it twice myself. I gave up on the rear defroster. It just going hang there until I remove the wire completely

Made a base plate for a diy goose gear style system. Took a while to find the clamping solution I had in my mind and made some clamps that are used to add grounding to pipes. Fred in the back is a huge fan, Wilma up front isnt quite sure yet.

Regear, new HD diff covers, and labor is $2900 including 6% tax.
Thanks! I’m considering changing as well and I can keep my shop honest.

Another shop quoted $2600 all in but without the covers so same same. I ultimately went with Ken’s because they listened and responded and I felt more comfortable with them. And @wibornz gives them a thumbs up enough to put a sticker on his Jeep and he’s certainly not easy on their work.
