Finally scrubbed my white letters and my Jeep looks SO much better now.

As you guys know, they have been filthy for a while. I wish I had pics but I did it at night and don't have any good ones.

This was back when I installed the OME... well, they got worse. MUCH worse.

I may take you up on that but there's a lot. I should have the control arms done soon but what do you think about a fuel tank skid? The tank has to be dropped to put it on as it doubles as the bracket.

Well cleaning up the Jeep (didn't even finish) and making my white letters all bright was useless. Why?

Slashed. Couldn't get lug nuts off so I called AAA, truck driver told me to back up and that's when the left side rear tire blew out. Right side tires seem to be OK. Jeep is currently at the tow yard. I have to make phone calls to Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office and AAA.

Great.

The tow truck driver even said they must have had a REALLY SHARP KNIFE to get through some Duratracs.

That sucks man, sorry about your tires.

Wow that sucks Marlon! Hope they find the jerks.

Home.

I made the discovery at 1:20AM.

... the Jeep was sitting there just a little while, since 10:45PM. So, around 3 and a half hours.

I am not going to even try and figure anyone else out in my lifetime, I keep myself busy enough :jester:

Tires suck real bad, hope ya figure out who did it :evil:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Tue Jul 10, 2012 12:18 pm

That Sucks marlon, too bad you will probably never catch them. Or maybe a good thing, causeI would probably be in jail for major bodily harm or worse. Jealous people who can't repect others.

Has anyone dealt with the rear glass hatch latch not working properly? Our '05 works when it wants, then I got to pull door panel lose and use screwdriver to get it to release so we can close it. Getting aggravating.

A little bit of an update: Insurance is taking care of it.

I don't have a rental, there are none available anywhere because of the holiday week. I have two enterprise locations and one Hertz location on notice for anything that comes up.

I called the tow yard just out of curiosity, and they told me ... "Your Jeep has 3 flat tires."

Uh, whoa? That means it is sitting on nothing but the spare.

Dealership just called, they have it (it's right around the corner from the tow yard...)

"I can't believe someone would do this to your beautiful Liberty. Your Jeep is like a work of art, and is the best looking KK Liberty I have ever seen."

I think they're even more sad than I am?

Ted15 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:11 pm

What's that smell? NEW RUBBER! :rockon:

the but head probably didn't realize he was hookin ya up. Hopefully there's no deductable to deal with.

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Jul 10, 2012 5:25 pm

mmmmmm
OME 948s weigh 9.4 lbs each
Ironman weigh 11.3 each
something to ponder

What do they look like next to each other?

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Jul 10, 2012 8:01 pm

I'll throw some pics up here after while, Installed the rear springs again only this time used the Ironman rear shocks as well, which are 2.25 inches shorter than what I am using :cry:

But want to get a good sense of how the whole thing rides
Fronts back on tomorrow ..........AGAIN!!! :banghead:

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Tue Jul 10, 2012 8:32 pm

$100 deductible. But that's cool. Whatever it comes out to be, is better than $800 for a new set of Duratracs. Unfortunately, insurance company replaces whatever was on there, so I gotta live with them for another 40,000+ miles or slashing, whichever comes first.
