So I ordered the Skyjacker ADX 2.0 shocks back in July 10th.

Waited a few weeks and no package so I called, they said waiting for them to be shipped, expected arrival date September 17th.

No worries, called today since still no sight of them, they checked status and now its October 2nd week sometime? And that's not guaranteed .

Note they did have *on backorder posted, but when I ordered them in July that was not the case...It will be roughly 120 days til I hopefully get them.

Anyone else haveing issues with Skyjacker and parts delivery???
I really like the shocks for the JKU, but do I cut bait and look for other shocks?

Just published a new video from our recent trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

The Dragon Bravo Fire destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and many surrounding cabins in 2025. We returned to see what the area looks like today, visit the former lodge site, walk through the remaining cabin area and check out the North Rim Campground.

This isn’t our usual AJ4X4 off-road video—we made the trip in the Mustang—but we wanted to document what remains and show what visitors can currently expect.

In July 2025, the Dragon Bravo Fire changed the North Rim of the Gr...

A little overdue, but this story is too good not to share...

Back on **June 19th**, I stopped by the ** Off-Road Expo**. Believe it or not, I didn't even bring the camera out that day—I was just there to enjoy the show, check out the latest products, and meet some great people in the off-road community.

After about an hour and a half, my wife and I had seen just about everything and were literally walking out the exit. My hand was on the door when TREAD started announcing the raffle winners...

**$750...**
Not me.

**$500...**
Still not me.

**$250...**
Then I heard my name!

I couldn't believe it.

The prize was **$250 in TREAD Bucks** to spend with any vendor at the show.

After walking around a little longer, I stopped by ** 4 LED Supply** and started talking with the owner. We talked about lighting, my Jeeps, and what I had planned for my builds. I decided on their **Command Control Panel**, and that's where things got even better.

Not only did I get to use my $250 in TREAD Bucks, but he also gave me the **show discount** and a **military discount**. By the end of it all, a controller that normally sells for around **$320** only cost me **$24 out of pocket!**

That's the kind of experience you don't forget.

I really appreciate companies that take the time to talk with customers instead of just trying to make a sale. It was great meeting the folks at Code 4 LED Supply, and I want to sincerely thank them for treating me so well.

I'd also like to thank **TREAD Off-Road Expo** for putting on a fantastic event and giving attendees opportunities like this. It made for a pretty memorable day!

This controller is going into my **1995 YJ**, and you'll be seeing the installation and a real-world review in an upcoming AJ4X4 video, and show how they perform over time.

Thanks again to everyone involved.
