Anyone have the part number for belt and pulleys? I hear a squeak, so may as well do it all at once. Just not sure what the kit number is.

I have a new belt that I no longer need since I no longer have my GEN1 that I would sell for $25. I would carry one with me when off-roading as a spare. Shipping is probably going to kill the deal though. Part JK6-1057-A

The pulley is AL3Z-8678-A

Hey fellas
I am getting my Rebuilt OEM shocks installed tomorrow at SVC. Anything I should ask them to check while they are swapping out my shocks?

I've got 98k on the odometer if that matters. 2013

You're knowledge and replies are appreciated in advance

Yup, get them to check your ball joints and control arm bushings. They should notice if anything is wrong with that stuff anyway, if they are on the ball.

I replaced the sunroof switch as the rear slider window stopped working. It was a super easy job, less than 10 minutes and it fixed the rear window problem.

At this point I was feeling pretty good, so I thought I'd see if the sunroof worked as well. The PO told me it was intermittent and he just never used it. I tried the tilt first and it was solid. Then the slide button and it worked! Super stoked... I then tried to close it... Lots of grinding and crunching sounds ensued and the glass retreated back to the fully open position. After messing with it for about 45 minutes I wasn't able to get it fully closed so I decided to just replace the tracks. Luckily I bought the dr. sunroof kit back when I picked the truck up as I knew the sunroof was an issue.

I'm sure many others have done this job, so I won't rattle on about it... In short I started at 4, had to stop at 8PM as it was dark and wet out. Luckily I had gotten to the point that the sunroof assembly could be reinstalled, so I did that and temporarily installed the glass to keep things dry overnight. I then started again at 8AM and was done by 10 this morning. I followed the youtube tutorial and all in all it's a very easy job, just quite time consuming.

After getting the interior all back together I installed a console safe I bought through FB marketplace for $80.

Very nice!! I couldn't resist and used my sunroof once just to see if it worked, luckily it did and I haven't touched it since haha! Is the Dr Sunroof a permanent fix for the weak link you think?

The wire loom will blend right in with the rest once I get some filth on it:

At least it powers up and down, scrolls through all the preprogrammed channels like TRR, GLRE, etc. and appears to transmit but...I'm not getting my local weather on Weather Man WTF?! Haha kidding!!! Hopefully will be trying it out next Saturday at the Ozark Run!

Made some progress on the big super duty trans cooler shoe-horn job.

Temporary hanger on the left. A hanger for a power steering cooler to the left of the big dog and a bar tieing it all together laterally still need to be fabbed up.

i pulled a 40,000 lb semi truck out of the snow today. didnt have time to take pics as i was preoccupied with other things, but got the truck out of the intersection and on his way again
Was just on crutchfield because I like to check them for radio fitments. Seems that suddenly the sync 1 can be swapped to aftermarket. Anyone know of this is legit? b8abdf44651493be33d698c9386df41e.png

Was under the truck putting the sway bar end links back on, was chasing a front end clunk. Looked at the OEM tape covering the body holes, a few were starting to come off, decided to take all the OEM plastic off, clean and put Gorilla Waterproof sealing tape over all of them. Luckily they are all clean and dry inside.
