Well, despite my house filling up with 4 feet of water on Sunday (video on my Instagram) and currently going through some tough family issues. My cage arrived to brighten my mood a bit.

Thanks, it happened back in 2012 and we gutted the walls, but this time we had no warning and the water blew the door off the wall and rushed in. Lots of cleaning to still be done and there's no heat or hot water yet

When are you looking to get that cage in? I'd imagine you'll take care of the house first.

Right now the jeep is the last thing on my mind. I've got some stuff I'm going through in my personal life so I'm not sure when I'll get it on. Maybe summer time?

Finally fixed my idle/ stalling issue. After new injectors, new TPS, cleaned throttle body and IAC, it finally threw a code for the CPS. Swapped that out and now it's fine. Now I'm getting some death wobble, found the tie rod jam nut had some play and tightened it up, but a jiggle still lingers. Window's still broke too

About to pull the trigger on some 35s. Prices went down, job discount, and a sale coming up. Means I do it now. Im either going to have to get some .75" spacers or new wheels with 3.75" backspacing because my current ones are 4.5" BS and the 32x11.5s rubbed the LCAs at full lock.
