    Late 2013/Early 2014 Shrockworks Group Buy

    Had mine installed on Friday Very pleased with this bumper, it is bad assed. Everyone is telling me how cool it looks :) I love how it looks when I walk towards my truck and I also love (and this was not expected) that I can see the guard on my left front corner when I am driving, so it...

    I am in Fairfax, I'll check out that group you suggested. I liked your webpage, I have a few other buddies around here that want to do more off road stuff. Thanks for the connect, if you have any events coming up let me know. Tim

    Got the Bumper The Shrockworks Bumper arrived (a bit ahead of schedule). I haven't posted on here in a while, I just had this installed yesterday so here are the first pics of it. One of my favorite things is that I can see the brush guard sitting in the drivers seat (not a lot of it, but...

    I was having some minor rubbing at full lock from the sway bar so I decided to have wheel spacers added, plus anything that emphasizes the tires is good in my opinion. I also found that my traction control got way too sensitive after the lift so I had them do the zero point recalibration...

    Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor Zero Point Calibration

    Thanks for this post, I used this info with my shop to recalibrate my sensor as it was too sensitive once my car was lifted

    @Ducamonster - thanks for the post. I don't know exactly what is rubbing, when I get about a quarter turn from full lock it starts to rub. I have just been avoiding that part of the range of motion at the moment. I could turn the wheels fully and take a pic from the bottom if that would be...

    My immediate review of the tires After purchasing the lift and the tires I was a little worried maybe I went too aggressive and I would lose some drivability, I don't think so. Actually when I went to pick up my truck it was parked next to a Jeep Rubicon that had like 44" tires on it (which...

    Here is my immediate reaction to the lift: I like it, I think it looks pretty cool. I love seeing the red shocks above the wheels. I call my car the Black Bull and my son said that was the blood of the bull. I measured the car in my garage before and after, using the part of the body of the...

    The next mods were the big ones, I lifted the truck and put new tires on it. For the lift I was torn what to choose, I was mainly debating between basic spacers, the FJ Ready lift kit, or the toyotec ultimate lift. I didn't mind the stock ride but it did feel a little loose and kind of...

    The aeroskin hood is fine, personally I think it looks cool and I like seeing it when I walk toward the car facing the front. I don't think it actually does anything functionally (like protect the hood) but I don't know for sure. I am planning on getting a shrockworks bumper so I am curious to...

    I am doing some mod's to my truck so I wanted to start a build thread in case it might help anyone considering going down the same road, I know I was on the fence about some things so I will give my feedback here. First let me say what you won't find here: This isn't a how to as most of my...
