Re: Boogie wagon take 2

Looks good man!

I might eventually do something similar with the rear-end using a Mercenary bumper.

What's the plan for the front bumper? PattonFab tube style?

Oh, and... twin turbos... :poke:

Re: dealership does horrible work

... I ended up fixing the death wobble myself because the dealer said they could not find the problem. I had the service advisor give me the torque specs for the front end. Almost every bolt was not even close to the right torque. The Only bolts that were right was the pitman arm and track bar bolt...

Re: Diff protection covers or slider

I have the Carli front diff. guard on my truck, as with most(if not all) of their products it is an overbuilt work of art. One of the most important features for me, was that the bottom of the guard actually covers the bottom lip of the diff. cover.

Re: Baja Designs Squadron Sport vs. Rigid Duelly

If your goal is to see better while driving on the road, the best "bang for your buck" would be a pair of Hella 4000's mounted to a light bar on the front-bumper. Yea except that is illegal basically everywhere if you get caught. Federal DOT regs state you can only have 4 lights on at a time, which...

Re: Baja Designs Squadron Sport vs. Rigid Duelly

I wouldn't fuss too much over the fog-light switch. Contrary to popular opinion, fog-lights are not driving-lights and shouldn't be used with your high-beams anyway. Too much light up-close will cause your pupils to constrict, reducing your ability to see at a distance. Fog-lights are properly used ...

Re: Air powered swaybar disconnect !!!

Meh.

Serious question, why is air so much better than electricity?

Do the Rubicons require the transfer case to be placed into 4-high/low in order to disconnect the sway-bar and 4-low for lockers?

If so, I would have been much more impressed with a whole new SmartBar module/bypass system.

IMHO.

Re: Snorkel options for 4th gen? Anything other than AEV?

Personally, for a 4th Gen. I like the Vararam Air Grabber; if the water is up to the top of your hood, you've got bigger problems :mrgreen:

Was gonna suggest maybe a shaker hood/intake as well, but for a 4th Gen. that would have to be custom.
