Let me know if you're able to adjust the fogs. People flash me constantly and I think it has to do with them. Since the light output of these things is less than desirable, I run the fogs constantly. Especially since it seems like it's dark 20 hours a day here. :lol:

I don't believe there is a way. Never heard of a way to adjust them on the Liberty.
That being said, the reason they're flashing you could be for a few reasons.
When you have your fogs on, it looks like you have high beams on because of the design of the fog lights and headlights being so close together on our Liberty.

Yeah I assumed that was the case. So when I flash them back they really know I had my lows on. But I didn't get flashed this much when I had my other headlight housings. It only started to occur after installing the Renegades. And I did adjust the low beam cutoff to where the original ones were because the Renegades came off a lifted KK.

Maybe try adjusting them again to be certain.
Are you using brighter bulbs as well?

I am but I had those same bulbs in the original housings.

When you guys are driving and someone decides to ride your A**, do you normally fall into pressure and just speed up (exceeding the speed limit) in order for them to not ride so close? Or do some of you guys just not care and eventually wait for them to pass?

After a $323 speeding ticket early in my driving, I won't speed anymore. I've also found that speeding doesn't really get you there faster...

For some reckless people, I'll pull off to the side to let them pass.

darn. I've only had a $90 speeding ticket, but it should have been $275 plus 4 demerit points off because I was speeding in a construction zone so thankfully the cop gave me a break.

It all depends on the situation. Most speeders will pass you when they're able to.
Back roads I don't care if someone is riding my butt. Highway, they pass before I get the chance to care.

The only pics I have right now from the other day. It was really cold that day when we went to Forked River Mountain. After these pictures came a few water crossings that were really fun to go through. Wish I had pictures of that.
My favorite part was when there were a bunch of hooptys for a mile or so.
The Jeep loved the experience of being off the beaten path.

If someone tail gates me bad enough I just let them sit there. If they get really close I'll brake check them. Although I did have one time bad enough where I just left off the gas and coasted from 50mph to about 10mph and they had no opportunity to pass. I then sped back up to the speed limit and they stayed back. I know a guy who is known for doing that but then takes it one step further by coming to a stop and then putting his vehicle in reverse.

Being in the Philly area, I would really not advise anyone to do this because you never know who is carrying a gun. Provoking someone who may have road rage issues is never on the top of my list. I'll usually go the speed limit or 5 over, and they'll usually pass me illegally when they get the chance.

There's going to be an extra Jeep in my driveway this afternoon.
Lfhoward and I are doing some wrenching. Can't wait to see his rig in person.

Meanwhile, I'm too far south installing my CB (mount came in the mail yesterday) all by myself...

I'm not sure if they're new, or just never really noticed them but I saw that JBA now has extended front sway bar end links. Any pro/cons to getting them?
Price is reasonable at $98.

Whaaaat? I can tell you the biggest pro I'm liking...because I still have stock length front sway bar links I have to remove the whole sway bar instead of just one link. Currently if I just remove the one link, the lower control arm will catch the sway bar as it travels upwards and then it.defeats the purpose of why I'd want to disconnect only one link haha.

Hmmm, that is cool. They have a new logo as well.
I wonder if the extended sway bar links would get the sway bar more out of the way of the tie rods, potentially saving some steering racks from untimely deaths on the trail. That is just a wild guess on my part. I'd have to check the suspension geometry to know if I'm right or totally wrong.

Just finished ordering some new Putco 'Nitro blue' 4400k headlight bulbs as I am disappointed in the Philips xtreme vision ones I purchased about a month ago.

I was thinking about getting some of those, can you post something after you install them with your thoughts, & maybe a pic or three?

Definitely can and will. If you were thinking of the mirror white, I believe Gage had those ones. He was the first one to have them for his Hi/Low beams, but also his fogs too. So you can watch some of his video's in his thread here > http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=80708 and get a feel to see if you like those ones!
