Default Finished a few more mods. Spidertrax and Trunk

I got done installing the 1.5" Spidertrax spacers and installing the Mopar trunk kit. I uploaded images in my gallery. I still have my Teraflex quick discos to install, but saving that for this weekend. My MTR's are also on order.

The Spidertrax spacers are extremely well built, and fit to perfection. They improve the stance 100% and there is zero vibration issues, which is one thing I was worried about.

The Mopar trunk kit is another very nice upgrade, and fits great. I installed mine a little different when it came to attaching the sides. I was not going to drill into the wheel well, so I simple used a nut, bolt, washer combo to attach the sides to the carpet. Is is very very sturdy this way, and requires no drilling at all. If you are concerned about theft, I suggest to drill and mount the sides to the wheel wells as the instructions state. BUT, if they are already planning to break into the trunk, neither option will stop them

I was waiting for a comment on that. My 3 ton jack blew working on my friends F-350 Dually. We were lowering the truck, and it went out on us. I was being mr. cheapo and bought a light weight 2 ton for $19.99 since I have the Jeep now. No reason to keep a 75lb jack around the garage, the only down side is the lift height

Can you fit a set of golf clubs in the trunk?

Any ride differences with the spacers? Cornering?

My clubs have not been pulled down from the attic this year yet, but I will check today. I do not think there will be a problem, but not sure. We will find out.

Nope, feels the same. The only way I know they are on there is to look at the Jeep.

Yes, they fit great. I use a mid-size Sun Mountain bag and have plenty of room.
