Honestly I would just have a shop do the transmission fluid and filter. Money well spent.

Yah think I’m gonna do this . Prob get a rock hard oil pan skid as well to replace my aluminum one . Doubt it will go back on once it’s unbolted haha

Sounds like you need a bigger hammer. Between the Rockstars and oil pan skid all I can think is BFH! A real big pry bar is pretty handy too! And a big crescent wrench.

I needed a propane torch to straighten my control arm mounts. They were curled over so badly I couldn’t take the arms out to replace the bushings.

It’s on . Aside from a hammer and a pry bar .. you need some tiny ass hands to install this evo stuff .
Skid plate weirdly doesn’t extend far enough back to cover the sway bar motor .. feels like a bit of a design flaw .
Happy with how the front end came together tho

It looks great! It is a bit odd it doesn’t cover the motor. The AEV skid plate does, but I’ve had to cut it back quite a bit to allow the DL to clear

It looks great. Can you clock the sway bar up? There’s a thread somewhere that describes how to do it.

Looks good Dan.
My JCR bumper has a piece added on to the skid that covers the sway bar motor. It hangs down a bit, but I'm glad it's there, it has several gouges on it.

I had it clocked with the old bumper but the pro series bumper doesn’t allow for it . Would interfere with where the winch plate sits
There are 2 bolts on the bottom attaching the skid to the crash bar so probably wouldn’t be too hard to get a piece of steel, drill 2 holes, and extend the skid back . Feels little strange given they could have just made it a bit longer tho

Duplicolor self etching primer and bumper and trim paint . Will see how it holds up but it matches the powder coat on the bumper well

Paid a shop $100 to do transmission filter fluids and filter . They sorted out my bent cross member and dropped in some new hardware while they were at it . Money well spent I feel
Took apart diffs for first time since regear and fixed bashed bolts .
Got this angle finder in the mail . Maybe will try to check my caster soon

Nice. Transmission fluid change is a PITA. Makes sense to have someone else do it.
Tidied diff cover looks good. [emoji1303]

Pretty bummed . Spent all morning pulling intake plenum and changing all spark plugs . Threw P0304 code — cylinder 4 misfire .
Swapped ignition coil from 4 to 2 . Buttoned it all back up . Fired it up and cleared code . Threw the exact same code about 2 minutes into test drive .
Wiring and plugs all looked good .
May be beyond my limited skills to diagnose at this point

Hmm I did not . Dealer said the mopar plugs were tapped to 0.045 but I should have checked . Probably going to dealer now since it’s still under extended warranty .
