This is going to have to be a "What did you TRY to do to your Jeep today" post...

The morning started in the F150 to pick up my 37" Nitto RidgeGrappler tires mounted on KMC XD137 wheels.
My buddy arrived, and we disconnected everything to lower the front suspension in order to install my Teraflex spacer kit...
As I removed my spring, I heard my buddy say "Well, this isn't good!"

There was no upper isolator on my passenger coil! The suspension has never been apart, so apparently it left the factory that way. We could see where the metal of the spring has scuffed up the metal where the isolator should be mounted.
I've noticed my passenger front seemed to be 1/2" lower than my driver's side, but never gave it much thought.
We called around, but no dealer had one in stock- the local dealer will get one in on Tuesday.
Sooooo, we connected everything back up and reinstalled the original (now puny looking :^) 33" stock tires.

Not feeling super confident about the build quality of my Jeep right now (wonder what other parts are missing), but I did prop the new wheel/tire up against the Jeep and I'm feeling really stoked about how it's going to look once installed! Unfortunately, I have a bunch of business travel coming up over the next couple weeks... anticipation!

The other downer is the Teraflex 1.5" spacer kit was supposed to get rid of the forward rake- however, the front spacers in the kit are 1" and the rears are 1.5" - so I'm thinking it will make the rake even worse... we'll see.

I wound up having to add an additional 1/2" spacer in the front and it still rakes to the front. If I had it to do over again I would not use the Tereflex. Even after emailing them about the issue not much help, still had to buy the additional spacer.

Need to finish up bumper install today. Still need to run the camera & light cables but finally got a rain delay. Was fairly easy to adjust and sits very tight. Wiggle the spare and the jeep goes with it. No rattle, no play.

Now I need to get rid of that damn shinny cap bolt.

What is my best best for a decent match? Never used that plastidip stuff and have no idea what it looks like. Could Rustoleum it I guess.

...or I could ignore it and get over it but yeah...driving me nuts, make it go away

I like the storage crates. Brand? Link?
They’re Rigid brand from the big orange box store, they have different depths and and you can stack and lock them together. Here’s what they look like without the stickers.....it cost hundreds of dollars for the decorative stickers......:facepalm:.........:)

Finished up my Artec front inner fenders last night. Waiting on Rugged Ridge to release the max terrain fenders to go with them.

There will be even more Synergy stickers before I'm done. My poor wallet.

ahem! You sure it wasn't thousands of dollars for them stickers? Cost me a fortune for the stickers I have and they aren't even "mounted". Doh!
