Well this morning, it's 3am now, I'm going to go check them out. My only concern is that the JKS bar doesn't have a new mount, it only uses the factory mount

Yeah, but it's a heim joint on that end. So it has a much better range of motion than the factory ball-joint style end that attaches to it.

Finally got a radiator for the 2k, went to the u pull it and got it for 30$ it was brand new, still had the stickers on it. Put it in went to start it and the alt, pull wasn't spinning. I pulled it out from the bottom and stuck it in the vise, the pulley rusted to the housing from sitting out back since December. Tomorrow I'll tell you if it still works

Can you tell me what chip you wound up getting? I keep hearing conflicting views on them - mostly that they don't work.

33s and towing my gas mileage didn't even change much when I went 4.56 gears. I've always gotten below like 15.

New with lifetime warranty is only $70 with the coupon from advance, I think you got jacked. If the one you bought has a transmission cooler I wouldn't think of using it until it is thoroughly flushed out.

Today I replaced the muffler in my 2008. It took me an hour and a half of cutting and grinding with the dremel to remove the 2 main nuts that hold the muffler to the cat. Did that the other day. Put the whole new one in in 45 minutes today. As a note, the walker quietflow ss muffler is not as quiet as the stock unit. Not so much while driving but at idle theres a bit more of a put put from the tailpipe than stock. Also changed out the cracked side view mirror the other day. It was cheaper to get a junkyard unit than to replace the heated glass with new. Took half an hour to switch out. Next up is the cv joint in my front shaft. Have the part just need to find the time. I hope the "hurricane" doesnt ruin the whole week. Good thing I didnt evacuate yesterday like fema said too. Oops. LOL.

According to radar there's hardly anything to worry about north of delaware...just coastal flooding and maybe wind later Monday and/or Tuesday(I'm out in florence, NJ for work).
