I've heard they take forever to get the stuff out to you, how long did it take?

What did you do to your jeep today?

I placed my order on Jan 20 and received the rock rails on Feb 14.
Seen the RROs bend very easy, so be careful

I do the same thing, but it's usually only after I've had one of those satan's salad, whacky tabacky, left handed cigarettes. :happy175::happy175:
Discovered a new door ding, going to get some estimates tomorrow.

New list of issues.
Mopar radiator installed with new Napa hoses and clamps
Leaks at hoses now...
My new wagner rotors and bendex heavy duty pads I installed last year have been getting worse and worse.
The pedal has zero pulsation but the steering wheel shakes when braking and it’s gettifn worse.
Sometimes it takes a little bit of driving but once it’s stsrted , it makes low speed city driving annoying.
I’m dreading having to deal with rock autos return / warranty policy.
Good news
My speed daddy exhaust is perfect. I was concerned about it being too loud but for less then $200 it’s exactly what I wanted.
It’s comparable to what a OEM performance muffler would sound like. Just a little grunt/ rumble but super quiet compared to others.

My wife's car does that periodically. She refuses to learn how to brake such that she doesn't sit there after a hard stop all the time. The rotors contaminate and vibrate so badly right now there's a noticeable loss in braking performance and the shaking will rattle your fillings out. I'm putting new rotors on this week. Again.
Finished the SYE.
Also went and bought a Ford 9" for the XJ from a guy off Craigslist a town over. All complete. Going to order a Ruff Stuff simple swap kit and disk brake conversion kit from Jegs. Not sure where I'm getting gears from yet but will be running 5.13s.
Next day off I'll cut off the stock axle mounts.

Interesting... who knows what’s causing the issue - I never smoked brakes on my cars in less then a year.
Maybe it’s the weight of the jeep and hilly backroads etc
Maybe the rear drums aren’t doing their share of the braking
It’s just odd to me it only shakes the steering not the jeep or pedal
Upper arm replaced too. With the new exhaust system installed , it was a lot easier then I thought.
In her case it's contamination on the rotor face. She stops so late and so hard, then has to stand on the brakes to keep the car from moving ($#()$# automatics) that it causes an uneven cooling rate on the rotor, and winds up leaving an imprint of the pad on the rotor. Over time that contamination stops wearing off, and you get uneven brake application. There's no run out issue with the rotor either (i've had them checked), they just get messed up because she stops like a moron.
What clamps are you using?

I bought 4 new screw band clamps to replace the spring band type
Never had issues before.
So gonna dig into now see what’s up
That's weird. Did the hoses fit ok?
I got constant tension ones for mine on the lower, they look like the screw ones but have a spring in them that keeps the tension.
