You're too kind, Lauren. :mrgreen:

I'm on my way out the door to get my two new keys cut and programmed.
I also have to add a little air to my tire.
Did you get a chance to add air to yours?

How did the new keys work out?
I have not added air to the pass. rear tire yet!

Need to do that.
On Tuesday I have an appointment for a free oil change and inspection at the Chevy dealership where I bought my Jeep. I'm going to see if they can swap in the new JBA track bar ends for me while they're at it (not free, I'm sure), because at this point I don't have the tools to do it myself.
On the upside, I got gas for $1.97 in Trenton, NJ today. It would have been $1.89 if I had cash. I downloaded the http://www.gasbuddy.com app and it's been super useful in finding the least expensive gas in my area.

I have an appointment on Monday to get one key programmed.
I only had one of the two keys cut.
The dealership sounded hesitant to program a "Amazon key" for whatever reason.
I hope it works. They said it'll be $65 to program.

Just thinking out loud here...
Within the next few weeks, I plan on having a design for a d.i.y. aerodynamic piece that will attach somewhere up front near the front suspension/radiator area.
There are a few places that look like they will work well for attaching zip ties to. :SOMBRERO:

I have a few different materials to choose from at work that I can bring home.
Obviously I'm looking to gain a little m.p.g. by doing so.
When Lauren came over, I liked how his skid plates are sort of aerodynamic, but not as smooth as I hoped they would be.

Finally got my key programmed.
Feels good to be able to unlock and lock the Jeep again.

Saw this today:

Prerunner build on 37x13.5s. King coil overs in front with a 2nd set of King shocks, and Fox shocks in the rear. Not sure of the rear coils...

Anyways, give anyone ideas? NAM, Morgan? lol

Now that the cats out...I've been doing more research than I need to on custom forging stuff to get King coilovers on the front and rear...

Oh...I didn't know about that lol. I saw the control arms were all custom and you've been wanting a 6" lift. BUT your idea seems much better. I'd love rear coil overs(especially adjustable coil overs), just don't want to cut my floor. I think a cantilever setup like JKUs can do will work. It's just a matter of planning it out and executing it.

Yeah, I have most everything planned out...but I need a really big loan to get everything and a new DD for the months of work I'll have to do...snd that's for a 6" lift front and rear. Yes, this includes a cradle drop...or fancy heim joined outer tie rods.

Keep us posted on it. I just want adjustable coil overs for the rear. I like playing with how high/level my Jeep sits

Well...it'll be a few years when I pay this Jeep off haha.

By then I mightn't care how the KK rides or sits, it'll most likely be my girlfriend's lol. Hell, who am I kidding, I'll still care about how it rides and performs.

Haha, this KK will remain my baby until I roll it off the side of a mountain making it irrepairable...then I'm going to rebuild it with custom tube framing and just go nuts with it!

I want a LS powered JKU, and the girlfriend wants my KK, so she agreed that we will trade in her car when the time comes. So by then I have to regear it and have some money saved up. Atleast enough to get me rolling on 37s.

I like the poison spyder flat fenders. Those and 3.5" or so of lift will clear 37s. And that's the plan lol

I saw a KK today with a sky slider and RRO roof rails. Looks hideous...and kinda funny.

The roof rails with special sky slider cross bars?

Yep. They might be functional(emphasis on might, this is RRO after all...), but boy do they look ugly lol
