~$4500 in parts from Atlantic British. They price matched the rear axle, but everything else on their site is super competitive. The TDv6 brake hangers were the only exception - they are ebay only.
~43 hours of labor. Luckily good help comes cheap in these parts. Feels like a new truck! Best alignment in 10 years.

Did 2 projects today, added yellow Lamin-X to the fog lights and mounted my magnetic phone mount to the dash. Both were pretty easy to do, the phone mount was a lot easier than I thought it would be, the big trim around the radio just pops off then 2 screws hold the button set to the dash. I wanted to screw the phone mount to the dash because in the past the 2 sided tape doesn't hold up and the mount eventually falls off the dash.​​​​​​​ ** Sorry for the picture size, I didn't know they would upload that large**

Just got my Gap tool and would Like to calibrate the Suspension. I do have proud rhino rods on the truck. What numbers should the suspension be at for all 4 corners for normal ride hight.

You really should get the book that goes with the GAP tool, explains everything.

No, you don't, unless this new one will be number four.

I have 3 (1 LR4 and 2 LR3s) right now and I am looking for one for my daughter now, so.....in my book you don't have a problem. unless you also have 2 Mini Coopers as well, ......................
then you have a problem. My only problem (OK, not really my only problem) is fluid and filter changes seem to happen every few weeks as well as the other "routine issues the things have.

What did you get. You know what they say...... no pictures, it didn't happen

Well that will teach me to smart off about how frequently I do maintenance on my cars

Just changed the oil and filters on the 2006 SE. Topped off the windshield washer fluid, installed the HF Ham radio antenna for long range communications, installed the GMRS antenna for car to car communications, put the fridge and slider in the back and did inventory of the usual off road things you want when over landing in prep for a 4 day trip along the TAT in Northern Arkansas with friends and family. Oh, and made sure the tire pressure matched the number on the door seal. Since I live on the Texas coast I have to drive 400 miles to find the woods

Installed a cable from the aux battery on the left side to an Anderson 250 amp connector for jumper cables (now I don't need to raise the hood, to help my jeep friends when they need a jump start).

And used some glass cleaner that came in a spray can for the windows.
