Its all good. You helped me out tons on the pitman arm.
The part that gets me is jks has two track bars with the same part number. I bought mine on clist thinking i could save some money. Called jks and they said they have two gen 3 track bars one for the sector shaft kit and the other not. Kinda annoys me.

Morning! 2 questions for the group...

1. Can anyone recommend good video editing software for the GoPro? Just need something basic... but functional.

2. Do any of you guys burn alot of motor oil? My JK is a 2008, and will burn about 1 qt of oil in 2500 miles. It seems excessive to me!!

Thanks - look forward to the responses!

I have the Teraflex 6" full complete kit so I have the drop bracket on the frame side. I have zero bump steer. In the next week I will be adding Hydro assist as turning 37's in the rocks is not easy. I have a few different ideas as to changing up my steering and raising my tie rod even more.

I use iMovie on my Mac it works great.

There are a few oil drinking jks out there but I don't know any of them. Do a search you will find multiple threads.
