or is this "What you did FOR your back"?

Looks Great.
I'm definitely not getting younger and my back does bother me. I finally broke down and got a 2 post lift after every thread I read said "you'll never regret it". Greg Smith Equipment had an 8% off sale and threw in $200 worth of truck attachments. I had to use my engineering mind to put it together solo.

Installed an 80mm Hemi throttle body and spacer (that I scored from a buddy who works for a shop that specializes in HEMIs) to go with the K&N CAI and exhaust. Perfect fit and easy installation. See how it does...

Took my rig in to dealership today for a clunking noise. :facepalm: It’s only in 4wd, when in 2wd nothing. So while diagnosing, they took off diff cover and oil looked really dark and dirty, and more metal shavings than they deemed normal, so warranty dude said change out the whole axle assembly. It will be here in 3-5 days. Even though it sucks being down, I’m pretty impressed how Jeep stepped up. :clap:

I found a bunch of grease or thick oil around the lower bolts on the front diff cover on my JL 10K miles the other day. Checked torque, took two fill turns to get them to torque specs.

JLUS added 35 RDGs and 17x9 HE901 no lift. I wasn’t sure about putting 35s on my JL Sahara with no lift but it worked. No rubbing at all during normal daily driving. Will get lift soon for off roading.

Looks great, love the red seats! Do you have any pictures of the interior?

Removed my Trektop back windows today for the first time.

California weather is finally getting warm enough!

This says 40,000 which seems too long to wait.

Yeah, maybe I’ll go longer between first and second, but I’m changing my rear diff at 15000, after seeing the front one. I wheel a lot, every weekend, that’s the only time front is used thanks to the fad.

Good call - I'm assuming those numbers are based on regular on-road driving, which is of course dumb to publish for a Wrangler :facepalm:

UPDATE: My LED fog "flicker issue" is gone:

When the dealership searched for computer codes for my VIN they found a LED fog light/headlight option as well as LED "exterior lights". These "sales codes" were added/programmed to my PCM. I drove the Jeep around and they said they saw no flicker. I drove tonight and NO flicker.

I was charged 1 hour of labor...no parts are necessary.

So for those of you who do not want to install any aftermarket anti-flicker device and would like your Jeep dealership to fix the problem (have their PCM-related work covered by warranty), have them search for the LED lights and LED exterior light sales code option installed on your PCM. This specifically worked with my Sport Wrangler JLU, as long as your VIN has the LED option, this re-program will work!

:)
Do you happen to know the codes they used?
