Hi, Has anyone ever done business with Rock-N-Road Jeep Outfitters? www.rocknroadjeep.com I see that they sell some nice Bar Pin Eliminators made by Zone Offroad Products. And they are on Amazon.com. I just want to make sure that Rock-N-Road Jeep Outfitters is not a new name for Rocky Road...

Re: What OME front shock part # to use with Bar Pin Eliminator? Yes, I am thinking of purchasing the BPE kit from Rocky Road Outfitters. I like the BPE kit from RRO because it is built stout and the axis of the pin crosses the small bolts which hold the BPE bracket, same orientation as the...

Hi XCM, Most recently the dealership told me the A/C delete bracket, part # 5300 2904, was of status NS1, meaning non-serviceable and no longer sold by Chrysler. About year and half ago, the tow hitch wiring harness was no longer available, with the special connector (7-cavity Pack-Con II) to...
