as far as some of your other questions:i live in rhodes,it is an island on the dodecaneses on the south-east of greece.beautifull island not much rockcrawling though but a lot of beaches !my tj is 4.0 2003 sahara edition with 62000 kms now that i bought used 11 months ago.i run a re 2''bb with re twintubes but i'm changing these now cause they give a bad ride imo with the skyjacker hydro's.the tires are 32x11.50x15.i also have a track bar relocation bracket in the rear,a 1'' performance accessories bl and a m.o.r.e mml.the latter although it is the rubber one it gave noticable amounts of vibes so have that in mind.from what i found out only jks that uses the oem mounts doesn;t produce vibes...cheers!

Love the TJ. Where are you in Rhodes? My parents are from Kalathos. I particularly liked the Kastro. My Aunty lives there.

yeah your shocks are upside down... i havent seen anybody run them that way up on a TJ... your setup may be different though...

well by upside down what do you mean?my shocks are mounted with the shock body down and the piston rod up!also red this"Upside down?
Unless your shocks are specifically designed to be mounted upside down or designed to be mounted in either direction, please follow the rule stated above for dual shocks. As a rule, dual tube shocks should never be mounted upside down. Some people say that monotube or gas pressurize shocks can be mounted upside down, however in time they will develop and extra inch or more of piston travel that has little to no dampening effect whatsoever. Ultimately: don’t mount shocks upside down just because it looks cool. Sometimes a shock must be mounted upside down due to space limitations, or to protect the shock body, if this is the case, make sure you use a shock designed to be mounted upside down."do you have any pics of your rig and the shocks showing?
