Made a Roswell themed sticker today.

Offspring received a Cricut for Christmas, paired with a variety of relevant supplies. Is there a site or two you'd recommend for ideas for Jeep decals, or even general guidance on using the unit? I'm learning about what I paid for here (lol) as I go. TIA.

I have a Silhouette. Easy to grab an image off of Windows Paint and have the unit cut it. Since the pieces are so small it was hard to do the weeding. On this design. Also had to try a few times to get the size right.

Trouble shot my steering. Found a loose tierod end and the pitman arm/sector shaft nut was finger tight. Got out the big torque wrench for that. 184 ft/lbs.

Checked and adjusted front trackbar to center the axle.

Set the toe-in after torquing the tierod end, adjusted the draglink to center the steering wheel.

Still getting a left pull on hard braking.

Nice looking JL.. She is going to love those running boards.

Have you considered installing @Diode Dynamics clear or smoked front side markers. Either one would add to the look lets say. The factory amber color side marker is ahhh...

The DD sidemarkers are top notch, easy easy to install and under $100.
Here’s the comparison…

My buddy came over and with the help of a few beers, some cursing, a trip to the hardware store and some grinding we got the Warn Evo 10 installed. I was shorted the correct bolts for the fairlead, and something must be off somewhere with my Jeep because the bolt holes on the lower brackets wouldn’t line up with the sway bar disconnect skid. Got it sorted though

I have that same front bumper! Could you share any pictures of the winch and how close it comes to the grill? Also, since EAG advertised that the bumper had a built-in winch plate, I can safely assume you bolted the winch right onto the bumper?

Like has been said in other posts you can move the wires as well if you choose.

Is a 90° adapter, etc. available to tidy up the manner in which the wiring exits the winch body? Less for aesthetic reasons than to prevent damaging contact and rubbing on the grille (on any vehicle, really).

Any winch manufacturer should be able to forsee this as a potential issue.

Love it. I was just there last week. Had a lot of fun navigating the way to the crash site and being evil eyed by cows. If you're willing to cut a few more I'd be happy to pay for a couple.

I’ll think about it. I know Etsy already has similar items available. I live in Roswell so I had to do something alien related. Took me five tries before I got it right. Still not thrilled with the placement of the sticker. It should be a little farther to the right (as viewed from inside). Weeding the sticker is not easy due to the small size.

Chewed out the shop that installed my lift. The driver side rear sway bar link dropped a bolt sometime this fall, disconnected from the sway bar and has seized. I’ve carefully inspected the rest of the install and discovered one of the front quick disconnects was installed with out a washer, which has meant it’s become loose.

I’ve ordered up a replacement rear link, and now need to source the missing washer and reinstall the front disconnect.
