Lol, a good portion of us have gone down the upgrade rabbit hole...well since I'm here I may as well do this and that...one thing leads to another which justifies another reason to continue to modify/upgrade. One might say it's an affliction.
Since you've gone this far and will be in there fairly deep it's not a bad time to consider upgrading the intercooler charge pipes as well.
Yes, the pit is bottomless.
The OEM UCA's shouldn't have any issue's dialing-in for 2" of lift. Who did the alignment? The camber and caster readings remain unchanged like they didn't make any adjustment.
Mine are set at 2" front, 1.75" rear for just a slight rake but I'm a 4-door. Eibach claims they come from the factory set to be level. I'd stick them on the way they came out of the box and drive it a few miles before I made any changes.
In my experience w/ snorkels on my old Land Rovers, a forward facing snorkel is the perfect catch-all for insects, debris (dust, leaves, etc.) and moisture.
I received the Wolfbox for testing as well. So far it's has boosted two V8s, a diesel tractor and a UTV on a single charge as well as several tablet charges and using the light...still showing 70% power left. I'm satisfied with the performance.
For Sale (1ea) M2M Tailgate Limiter. Used, in great condition. The limiter works great w/ the OEM rear bumper however it is not compatible with all aftermarket bumpers. When I installed my new bumper the lower attachment point on the M2M limiter caused the tailgate strut to slightly rub on the...
Wow, that sucks. Certainly not a good design. I can hear the dealer now..."sorry, your aftermarket rack caused the failure".
If you decide to have your welder try to repair I'd be concerned with flammable materials and wiring on the back side of the panel. Plan to remove the inside trim and top...
You should be fine going through a "touchless" wash. Anything else and I'd be concerned it could get ripped off if caught up in the spinning/dangling brushes.
I have not heard of any "bad" 2.3 engines...details?
The 2.7 had a run of bad valves not long after release and cam phaser issues but haven't heard of knocking issues or locking up...details?
Rightfully so. Not that this helps but as I understand it they CAN sell you the vehicle, they just can't let you take delivery until the repair is complete. If you're not in a hurry get them to come down on the price.
That's BS...dealers are well aware of this, should have made you aware. See post #2 in this thread...

For your intended use I'd just look for a set of non-SAS Badlands or SAS take-offs. You'll get the lift, much better ride and won't have to replace the UCAs.
