That is what I had in mind. The factory braces seem like such an after thought bandaid solution. Compared to my tin can xj they are overkill. Little chassis flex never hurt anyone(sarcasm). I may look into fabbing my own when it gets a little warmer if i can't find a reasonably priced one i like

Does anyone make a transmission skid designed around removing the 2.7 cross member supports? I understand why they are there but a steel or even aluminum skid plate tying the cross member to the frame has to provide just as much reinforcement without the loss in ground clearance. I was pretty...

My rebate shows as shipped as of a few days ago. The recall rebate for the wireless controller is still pending. Submitted both 11/29

Anyone receive their rebate check or wireless controller rebate yet? Mine have both been approved for 6-7 weeks and I got a wired remote in the mail about a week ago.

From the pictures posted it looks considerably thicker than the factory liner. The front panels are already tight in the carry bag so I think it's a valid question.

Do the front panels still fit in the factory carry bag with the Hotheads headliner installed?

Have not replaced yet but have had a crack clear across for about a year and 12000 miles now. Been there so long I don't notice it anymore. Been putting off replacing because the windshield is tinted. I figure if I am going to have to pay to re-tint every time it cracks ill just leave it...

Installed mine on my first oil change and have changed it once with it since. Very glad I did. The tidal wave of oil that came out of the factory drain outflowed my drain pan and I ended up with a lake of oil on the garage floor. Using a drain tube with the Ronin plug was a much cleaner solution.

No suggestions on service, plan on doing mine myself. But I also purchased from Chuck Anderson. Extremely smooth transaction. Looking forward to replies though.

Just had the wife order one for my son whos 1st birthday is in July. Didn't notice until after we had bought it that it doesn't have remote control. Now I'm looking into remote control conversions. I could see this snowballing really quick.

@ThugBunnyExpress Thanks! Good chance it was my wife driving it. I take it to the gym occasionally but it's primarily her car.

Came out from lunch at Melvin Brewing in Eureka and gained a friend. Ours is the carbonized gray one. Is it anybody on here?

@ThugBunnyExpress Carbonized gray sasq hardtop in the fenton area? That would be me.

Also told the dealer not to install one. I don't run a plate on the front of my xj or mustang and have gotten a ticket once in 15 years of driving like that. The one time I was a 17 year old kid in a loud car which I believe had something to do with it.

I asked them not to touch it before I picked it up other than removing the plastic wrap. I ceramic coated mine in the first week and wanted swirls minimized for application.
