So I've been counting the orange peel on my ceiling since 3:30am... I Can't sleep because I'm buying my first jeep (Rubicon) today. I'm located in Hermosa beach Ca and I'm looking forward to the trail meets posted on this site!

Knots in my stomach! After purchasing my 07 Rubicon yesterday I experienced what this forum calls "the death wobble." I've never felt so cheated by another human being, as I'm sure he was completely aware of the issue. I hope this doesn't turn into an expensive fix. :-/

The knot is feeling better
After looking at the great write ups on this forum I'm making progress. It looks like I need to replace four bushings and a steering dampener. I'm going to put the axle on a jack stand today to check the ball joints.
