Question. My Rock Krawler rear upper control arms tend to pivot in with normal driving. Is this normal or do I need to make an adjustment?

It will definitely make camping a bit easier. If you build it like mine, I used 3 4x4 sheets of 1/2 plywood to build the drawers. I'm going to weight them when I get home to see how much it added.
Well those sheets weigh like 20-25 lbs each, so only 60-75 lbs total. Not bad at all! :like:

Reinstalled my stock muffler today. I tried the Dynomax delete, but it was just loud in an annoying way. While I had the stock one off the Jeep, I went ahead and painted it black with a couple coats of high temp Rust-Oleum.

I also have been trying to deal with the glare off of the shifter knob. I cut some tinting film (35mm diameter for anyone wondering) and stuck it onto the shiny bit of the knob. Unfortunately, it’s made no difference. But now I know the dimensions and have a way of cutting the circle, I’ll try and find something matte.

Great. Thx!
I'm going to try and do a write up this week in a new thread on the interior mods section. Overall, the hardest part was trying to align the drawer slides so they worked properly.

Where did you order them from? Thanks
I bought them off a fellow member here. The part# is RK07140 and Morris4x4 Center sells them and a few other places.

I haven't seen any before/after drop measurements yet from anyone including the OEM.

Had been riding 2.5 inch lift with stock tires. Finally installed new tires, 285/75R17, C load super smooth and quiet.

Those tires look great. I've been debating these vs 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson ATZs, but since the Nittos come in load range C I think they'd fit my needs better. Great to hear they are working well for you!

This is a fun thread I’ve seen on a few other forums. Can be anything from mods to drives, to washes, etc. pictures are always a plus!

So what did you do to your Jeep today?
Did Line-X my doors, put new fender flares(not %fineshed though), put metalcloak skid plate system and rear axel skid...fun stuff...
Plan to go to Idaho for Jeep Jamboree event this week.

They're very close to a 33". We had it out for a drive last night, did a few circles in both directions with the wheel fully locked with no rubbing and drove over a few small bumps in the yard.The drive feels very close to stock.
Dude your engine is ridiculously clean lol
Inside and out...
Lol thank guys. Yes, my OCDness comes out sometimes, sorry. I hate dirty engine bats or maybe dirt in general. My past life as a detailer comes out! But yes, now my engine is clean inside too through that catch can! :)

Driving it around yesterday, maybe I’m getting placebo effect, but it seems to be driving around smoother, esp during accel.

Took off the dealer badge with my open box deal harbor freight heat gun and a plastic putty knife.

Amen! This is a must! When I ordered mine new, I told the dealer under no circumstances will there be any form of advertisement of their dealership on my vehicle. None whatsoever, or the purchase contract is void. Lol. I had that all in writing btw. For real. ;)
