Has anyone got in touch with 9-50 recently for his 136A alternator wiring kit?

Yes, the bumper, winch, lights, and some other accessories resulted in a slight rake effect on the front end much like filling the truck bed of a truck would cause the rear end to sag a bit.

The coil spacer leveled it out nicely and now the roof is flat

I like the look of your jeep. I personally am not going to trim I'm keeping my stock flares on to me it just looks good. Don't get me wrong some cut fenders and aftermarket flares look good but I love me some stock flares. Anyway I like it looks good.

I just can't get myself to like the aftermarket options. The idea of cutting into the factory-sealed metal seems like asking for rusting problems.

Got the Jeep aligned today and removed the Putco harness, which was causing a high beam issue with my TruckLite LEDs today. I also adjusted my headlights, which was necessary after putting in those coil spring spacers.

Additionally, I re-torqued my track bar bolts today and it put an end to an annoying popping I was getting.

Tomorrow, my Inspired Engineering A-pillar brackets for the LED pods should be in. I'll get pictures of them, as well as of them installed later on!

I'm loving the pods. I believe they're 5 watt LEDs in there. They run about as bright as the 12-inch on the front.

It must depend on where you live.

I got them for free as an inconvenience for the 50-inch replacement not shipping fast enough. If so, it'll be no money out of my pocket.

On the other hand, maybe a small weld on the nut can prevent theft.
