The chrome was coming off my center caps, I think from power washing. The wife contacted them to see if we could by new ones and they said ā€œ send us your address and weā€™ll send some out to youā€ . The wife said how much are they , and they said no charge.......šŸ˜³...... Iā€™ve always had good experiences with their customer service, but I thought that was really cool of them.
I think you all copied me :CWL:

Oh shit, I just said to my wife I wanted to do the same thing. Canā€™t have two of us in the same area looking alike. šŸ˜
I had them sitting around and thought it'd make a good picture. Was going to start a thread "New Wrangler Longhorn edition"...

Finally got around to installing the leather upper dash panel... 15 minute job. Still have parts in the garage but have been so busy at work they are sitting there...

Do you still have the red dash panels? I might be interested in buying them if you do!

picked up my high altitude diesel on Monday from Craig at Koons. Tinted the front windows and swapped the antenna for a short bullet. Thinking Iā€™ll do windshield in 70%

what else should I do?

Got my JKS Flex Connect swaybar links today. Will put them on this weekend.

I have been trying all day to open the thing to replace the springs, but haven't been able to.

Honestly, it shouldn't be this difficult. :mad:

Sent a note to Northridge 4X4 to see if they know of a trick to get it to open. If they don't, it is going back.

I assume you have the instructions, if not hereā€™s the link: https://4x4media.info/instructions/jks/PAC2114.pdf
Looks straight forward but Iā€™m sure the old saying looks can be deceiving is appropriate for these. Good luck!

Thanks. Yes. I have the instructions.

I found a video that shows a trick for replacing the springs: mount the Flex Connect to the swaybar, and then use the leverage provided by the swaybar to pry the Flex Connect open.

However, unlike the straight bolt-on installation on JK, JLā€™s installation requires cutting the passenger-side lower link mount. In other words: once I cut the lower mount thereā€™s no turning back.

This is a chicken-and-egg situation: on the one hand I donā€™t know if I will be able to replace the springs until it is installed; on the other, the installation is one-way; it cannot be undone.

I am sending it back.
