I took the Jeep to a local off road shop Trails West 4x4 in Pataskala, Ohio due to a shimmy in the front suspension. I did not have all out death wobble but the shake/shimmy was enough my wife did not want to drive the Jeep and the shimmy was getting worse. Installed: -New ball joints -35" Mickey Thompson MTZ P3's -Hawk LTS brake pads -New trans cooler lines -Fox steering stabilizer (old one was leaking so upgraded) I have an Optima battery to install and a long wish list. I get to pick the Jeep up tomorrow. Cannot wait.

I visit and occasionally shop at that store too. Decent store with decent prices on products but they overcharge for labor in my opinion. I rather do install my self. I was quoted for gears at $1800 per axle (just gears, no lockers added) and they wanted $1500 for labor to install a 2.5" lift kit basic with front lower CA's. Took me 4 hrs to install that lift kit myself.
My local shop charges $900 per axel which includes all new seals and gears of your choice

exactly my thoughts. I found a place that specialize in gears in Columbus,oh and they only charge $950 per axle for labor and parts!! So I know they don't either have the experience or just plain out overcharge for labor!!!

Bought some led tail lights, Ace Engineering inner fender liners, Poison Spyder license plate delete, tramp stamp, license plate bracket, and license plate light/third brake light, new tailgate hinge covers, and tailgate hole deletes. I'll be busy the next couple weeks.

That is the Genright bumper. I've got the same but in steel and it's hefty. While I don't have either set of flares, if I were to buy I'd choose the nemesis or metalcloak hardlines. They seem to fit the curves and contours of the body better than the squared off flares that it seems everyone else offers. The rears are where it's more noticeable.
Nemesis is known for their shock relocation brackets up front as well as their Billy boatside sliders.

Not a fan of tubed fenders, these have the reinforcement upgrade and are pretty stout. I have the sliders to go on as well just have not had a chance to get them on yet. But you should look up the nemesis flares these things are sweet
