This week I removed my rear track bar and greased it up to keep it from making a horrible noise.
I also attached those $15 Euro-sport mirrors so I don't hit things when I am in reverse with the doors off.
Finally, took a scenic drive to Taos Ski Valley with 7 friends who were on motorcycles. Loaded them all in the Jeep when they were scared to drive on a dirt road and carried them from 9,200 ft to 10,200 feet. We then ate German food and drank very large German beers at the Bavarian in one of the most scenic places in New Mexico.
I was impressed that the Jeep was able to handle all the weight. Six of us were between 225 and 300 lbs each- the other two were light weights. Still, the Jeep never even spun a tire and the road is quite steep in places with plenty of loose gravel.

Been there, done that. Otherwise it's an awesome setup and I still have mine. Cool thing is that if you want to hide the velcro disc on the vent, just rotate it fully and use the other side for that stock look!
