What did you do to your jeep today?

[Kj/toy]

SS brake lines usually make the brakes, (on bikes anyway), feel firmer by taking the "balloon effect" out. Maybe there's still some air in the system.

Yup, I got the same warm and fuzzy feeling when I installed my SS brakes lines also...

Are these the correct Moab wheels ?

Yes

 

[Aceofspades]

Hmmm wonder what to offer. I don’t like the wheel weights being on the outside - hopefully there is no corrosion

 

[HoosierJeeper]

I paid $225 for my set of 5, no tires, I could tell they had wheel weights on the outside but I didn't care, I just want them to balance right, so I always get weights on the outside if needed.

Mine weren't painted, they still had the factory finish and I'd give them a 7.5/10.

I'd offer $200-$250.

Mine are getting a new home, the KJs that is ,
Found a new place , 2 car attached with a 2 car 40 foot from the attached.
They are going to be so happy !
OH and so am I !!
oh , the house, 3 bed / 2 bath, but who cares about that with two, 2 car garages !

One of the reasons I like the Moabs so that you can install weights on the outside ! Hate those darn stick ons and trying to balance with weights on one side only .

Now I've got garage envy...

I have double garage envy. I don’t have one.

Now we need some pics... of the garages, not the house of course.

At 75 MPH or at 3 MPH crawling over rocks, you never notice wheel weights at all on the outside

Double, double garage envy.

I'm really happy to have my 1 car garage/shop. First garage I've ever had; Of course there's a jeep stuck in it.

turble: you should be able to build an igloo.

I don't move into anything that does not have at least a 1.5 car garage . From childhood till I was 17 never had a garage, from then on always had one. I wanted something fairly close to my new job, this place is 40 minutes but worth the extra driving time just for both garages I think. LOL
PLUS free gas, so you know both garages will have heat in them !:gr_grin::gr_grin:

Tom's right. You'll always get a better overall balance with the weights spread as far as possible. Only way to do that is to mount em outboard.

 

[M38 Bob]

new extended SS brake hoses are meh, honestly think the pedal feel is a lot softer. New abs sensors and timkens up front and STILL abs/trac/esp lights on

Somewhere, there's the tiniest air bubble. Causing both soft pedal and ABS light.

I changed the oil and filter today. That was by far the most difficulty I had in removing the old oil filter in 35+ years of servicing my own vehicles. I'm glad that I'm thin, because if I wasn't I'm not sure I would be able to get it out!
