I had to replace me catalytic converter.
Leave it to Chrysler to force us to buy all three converters at one time because they made this section of the exhaust available with all three as a one piece only. They are not sold individually. Add this to the never ending list of Chrysler disappointments. I can just see it now, a group of Chrysler big dogs sitting around a table saying to each other, "Let's make these all together as one section of pipe so that when even one of the converters become defective those poor suckers that buy Jeeps from us will have to pay for the entire thing thus providing us with a much greater income".

I can see it being a frustration having to buy all three to replace one bad one however I think them being grouped in such a way is more a matter of engineering (and manufacturing cost) than profit from part sales

Yes, you are probably correct. Those were my initial thoughts. It would be much easier and cost effective to assemble as one. I am still pretty sure that they thought of the profit involved somewhere along the way.

Kidde 12" Fire Extinguisher, Crown Automotive parking lamps, 12" AMI stubby antenna, Plasti Dip'd badges.
Also had to order a replacement set of ORO LED Lite DOTS. They were $100 for a replacement set because its the "new" model and I have the old style. I am completely not happy with it. But I have no choice and I do like them. They re-assured me they got the problem fixed this time. Well, the last two sets I had replaced they told me that. Hopefully the 4th set will work.

Go with 5.25" speakers and adapter plate. You will never get the same quality sound out of an oval speaker as a round one.

I loaded up my Rubi LJ with the freshly delivered boxes from UPS that had a Savvy/Currie 4" lift, Fox shocks, Savvy gas tank skid and Savvy rear bumper, and I drove it to the shop. I should be driving it tomorrow.
Here is a 'before' pic.
The 'after' pic will come soon .
Savvy says they expect to ship the under armor (tummy tuck), corner armor and rock sliders within a couple of weeks.
