Retired from Corrections....I have stories.
So I got really drunk and couldn't sleep last night... so I went shopping... :facepalm:

I ordered:

Five RockTrix RT111s
Five 35x10.50 Kenda R/Ts
@CavFab_mfg Micro bumper
@Diode Dynamics SS3 fog pods and LED headlight bulbs
Some spiffy cupholder inserts :giggle:
Lug nuts
A better mount for my UV5R
Three cans of Mopar touch up paint (??)
A Mopar jack base that I didn't even know existed
Rock Hard front and rear LCA skids
ARB license plate relocation kit
Paramount front and rear inner fender liners

And that's just what I can find emails for this morning :surprised:
I had to stop drinking whiskey or bourbon while shopping and surfing the web at night. I would end up with all kinds of stupid shit for my motorcycles and Jeep. Stupid shit would show up at the house and I would be like why the fuck did I buy this? I have ended up with some really stupid ass T-shirts the same way. I will never figure out the thought process of why I needed or wanted a 2-Pac T-shirt with his face on it and "Live by the Gun Die by the Gun" printed on shirt.

Do you like these? Worth? I've been eye'ing up to pair with my Mopar Lift Kit.
Love them. Really tightened up the steering.

Look great.
Any feedback on how the finish holds up after getting dinged around during a couple of tire changes?
They've been pulled off 2x and so far they're holding up well. Time will tell.

Many thanks for bringing these to our attention! I got a 3-pack of both the Spartan and Tread caps. I put the Spartans on the front doors and the Tread on the tailgate. I'll definitely treat these, as I neglected the original set and they became sun faded.

I failed my kids jeep.
Wth am i doing wrong.
This is after 2 hours.
Tried heat.
Tried goo gone.
Tried arm muscle.
What is jeep using as adhesive bc this normal 10 minute job is going on 2 hours (im working on both sides back and forth).
This is INSANE.
Like I know how to do this. Done it multiple times. But this 2020 rubi aint giving up the adhesive. In fact. I think it stick more with goo gone!

I recommend getting one of these: Link
(Called an Eraser wheel)

These are what pros use when pulling off decals before fixing and painting damaged parts. I have one and it’ll take all that off with ease. Get some de-greaser so you can easily wipe the eraser shavings afterwards. It won’t hurt the paint and will take all that off much faster than scraping.

Here’s a pic of mine:

100% this. I've used 3M eraser wheels to debadge for years, it is by far the easiest way to do this. Finish it off with some quick detail spray (or a car wash) and a little cleaner wax to remove any residue.

TeraFlex Alpine IR adjustable front lower control arms to replace the ones that came with the Mopar 2" lift kit. Got rid of all of the bump steering and it now handles like stock. Well worth it.

I just looked those up and it says this. Did you get the kit too?
Must be used with Alpine Long Arm Bracket Kit (JL 2-Door: 1958002 or JL 4-Door: # 1958000) – NOT INCLUDED.

OK. didn't google short arm. Did you do the rear too? I have the Mopar lift but my Jeep drives like stock without any steering issue.
