Just posted a thread in the for sale section for 4dr 2010 Rubi rail take offs. There $200 and include hardware. Just a heads up if anyone is interested. They cost $320 at the dealer

Just a heads up to anyone in need, looks like Ripp mods in Staten Island posted quite a few spare JK parts on Craigslist.

On side note, for people who get their oil changed by someone else, where do you bring it to on the Island?

I've always changed my own oil, but its been really cold out and my landlord does not let me work on my vehicle, I used to have a storage unit I did it at but I got rid of that a few months ago.

Any ideas of somewhere quality, I've had bad experiences at Jiffy Lube with my old company car (tools left in engine bay, charged for things not performed, etc.).

I am in West Islip.

Thanks.

I live in Port Jeff Station, probably mine, what road were you on? If it was a soft top with Pro Comp rims that is mine. Also met racer today after I was driving down Middle Country Road, saw a Silver 4 door with a massive lift and a AEV snorkel and went, "that looks familiar poped in and figured it was Racer. It was a nice chat with him talking about Jeep stuff. Very nice, mind my appearance, just left the gym so I was not looking to pretty. He even gave me his old CB antenna mount! He had one of the best looking four doors I've seen yet, I'm slightly biased since it was the same color as mine, but still dayum.

I want fox shocks
Nah, I just did the extensions when I installed the lift.
Now I'm doing EVO Rockstars in the rear with the Bilstein 5100's and I figured I should do the fronts too.
I ordered everything at 4WD from Bryan (BustaBiz, I believe) and he said the Fox and Bilsteins are pretty comparable. I plan to go with a Fox S/S with the 4xfix relocating bracket.

Excuse me sir but they are 5100's and no you can not compare a reservoir shock to them. However I can understand the way I wrote it was confusing but I was comparing the bilstein S/S to the Fox S/S.
