Installed tuner lugs and new center caps on my inbred looking AR wheels Because some little @$$holes took half of my lugnuts and punched in my center caps. Hopefully the tuner lugs will keep the $h!theads from doing that again. Also almost finished re-wiring the driver door as all the wires were busted up---Yay! I can roll down my windows!! Gotta cherish the small victories, right?

Got my Rock Krawler track bar in the mail today. I bought it through MotionOffroad.com and they had one made custom length for me. The length was PERFECT, couldn't be more satisfied! Sweet price and awesome quality!

put oil in it and took out the hood insulater thingy to see if it helps to cool the engine area better. it was all oily and yucky anyways.

It cracks and pops when you get in. It also leans to the left (this is the driver's seat).
The JY track also moves fore and aft slightly upon acceleration and deceleration. The original one didn't.
The problems are worse when the seat is all the way back, because there is exposed track just hanging off in space.
I had sat in the JY seat two different times before pulling it. It seemed fine then. I am going to try my original rail on the JY seat. I will then put in in my Jeep.
If it sits well, then I know my original seat frame has the problem. These apparently have spot welds that can and will break.
Then I will have a lot of swapping around to do, plus swapping upholstery.
