Isn't it great ALRedneck! I swear this truck makes me feel like a kid again! (Maybe this is my midlife crisis cure!!)

Had a fun day with @Maligator and a few others from PWR today at Rausch Creek. There was body damage, water threatening engines, and winching needed, and none of it was by me this time! Had a blast, tackled a water obstacle that previously toasted my engine, and tackled a new one too, Frog Hole, for those that know the area. Maybe going back on Sunday...we’ll see.

Definitely a good day. I learned alot from my first legit ride. Waiting on my buddy's GoPro video of the frog hole. My failed attempt was me taking a pic at the beginning and end of it thinking i was recording a video[emoji1787]7a45a8aa52a691d2a72033be6065506b.png092085ac877a0ea7679a4146923f1004.jpg12ba03f6e1c66053b76112cf53984338.jpg

Nice! I don’t think I did Frog Hole correct. YouTube vids show the other side is a lot deeper and slicker. Maybe I’ll try it again :-D

Installed my Thuren leveling kit yesterday along with Fox shocks, Thuren front, and rear track bar. What little scrub I had after putting the 37's on, is there no more. Didn't take long for the front parts. However! That rear track bar was a real ****, to say the least. It took me twice as long. You definitely have to bolt everything up in order, after you get your holes drilled. If not, you will be like me scratching your head and saying this SH#$ isn't going to work! After I had everything installed and started mounting up the bar itself. It was about 3/8th's of an inch short. I was like, what the #$%@.

I ended up jacking up the passenger rear and got my last bolt in. Anyway's, it's done and I think it turned out well. I made 11 short videos of different phases during the work. Not sure how to load these up here. I went over tools needed, how I jacked the truck up, and so on. I think it could help those who are looking to do the same thing or similar. After I test drove it. To my surprise, it didn't pull to the right or left. I was traveling at 60mph and hit the brakes hard and still no pull. I'm not sure if I just got lucky or installed everything the right way. At this point, unless it starts pulling or handling different, I'm not getting it aligned unless I see a pattern of slight wear or something funky.

Where did you buy your new shocks from? I don’t think they fit the 19 (I was told) but I want to ask again

New PW owner. First time truck owner to be honest. Traded in a 2015 Grand Cherokee SRT. Loved that thing, but I love this truck even more. Looking forward to learning the ropes of off-roading.

A few pics of the new ride. Excuse the nice yellow tint on the truck from all the pollen.

DogStairs.jpg Most important mod. One of our four dogs enjoying the new stairs.

Really enjoy all the info provided on this forum. Dethloff skid on order, and loaded up with recovery gear. I have a laundry list of wants, but the funds are low. I never thought buying a $60k+ truck would lead me to spending so much more money...

Thank you again to all the members here. Looking forward to expanding my knowledge and my mod list.

Nice mods so far. The mods never end... I’m 7k in and at the very least have 4 more to go and I only had my truck for 11 months.
