what the heck is that thing on the 6 o clock position of your steeering wheel?

Looks like the gauges for the air suspension that was on the rig

It was actually installed down on the console (weird how it looks on that picture). It was the air ride suspension controls.

BTW, If anyone wants the components for the air ride suspension it worked when I pulle it off the jeep. You would just need the hose since I cut it in a few places to remove.

This weekend should be a busy one. I just got in my new wheels and SYE. Currently enroute from the warehouse is tires, mounting hardware, adjustable control arms, and quick disconnects. I think I have enough to keep myself busy a few hours atleast while the wife is at work. Depending on what type of weather there is out on the reef for fishing!

Can you link me to where you bought it at? Also are they actually useful for off roading? Or is it more for leveling out your jeep when one side is heavier than the other

How hard do those subs hit? I have a single 10" MTX TR-7510 in an enclosed box that fits perfectly BEHIND the backseat between the seat and door. I hid a 1200 Watt PowerBass ASA-600 underneath the back seat. With a soft-top that one sub hits incredibly hard. I did have twin 10s in a crappier box before which hit like **** though.

I would imagine the back seat doesn't make for a good enclosure for those though, did you rig an internal enclosure inside the seat?

You are the second person to post this question... it was an odd angle of the picture and that is the controls for the air controlled suspension that was removed.

Any place to wheel in the Keys? My folks have a home in Marathon. I woudl liek to rent a Jeep next time down to explore with.

I can not find any of my pictures of the enclosure I built. This pictures is where I got all the ideas from. It was a subwoofer enclosure built by a business that went under a little while back (33 Engineering). It is fully enclosed with sound dampaning paint/material sealing the enclosure

Thats awesome!

Stock short arms and all!

So, do they hit? Because I've wasted my money on a ****ty enclosure before and I can def swap my deep cone for two shallow ones and get this box made.

I will see if I can get a video with sound... I have the gain turned down a bit to get some decent balanced sound quality until i can replace the components and tweeters and get great quality.

Spent the last two hours replacing the front control arms with Curry Adjustable ones. They look nice and heavy, I sure dont mind some more weight down low. I like these so much it looks like I am going to have to order up the rear ones soon.

I had to use ratchet straps to pull the axle around to install the arms... pulled it forward for the lower control arms...

and backwards for the lower control arms. I also had to drill out the bushing to fit the new greasable bolts...

Just checked the UPS tracking and my tires are on track to be delivered tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT!

Just snaged now on how to remove my trackbar so I can replace that. It is amazing how fast the pile of parts in the shed disappears.
