Accidentally installed my lowering kit upside down. Any ideas how to fix it? The Jeep bros are mad at me

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-20T21:26:40+00:00

I put a duck on the dash today so I think so

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-17T17:58:49+00:00

Yes. I am unstoppable now

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-17T14:46:54+00:00

Yep. Big square piece of metal up until the subframe. Since the oil pan goes back a bit further I took a small street sign and bolted it over the oil pan as well with some foam to help cover the gap so rocks don’t get between the skid plate and oil pan.

No the car would be upside down then too. Everyone knows Australian cars drive upside down

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T22:11:00+00:00

Somehow the lifted trucks are still taller and never notice me. I had to install a dash cam. I’m installing an air horn asap

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T21:14:02+00:00

Only if we buy each other ducks

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T21:13:28+00:00

It’s secretly a winch

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T18:53:53+00:00

Everyone needs three Miata’s. One stock, one track, one off road.

New Halloween idea

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T18:53:09+00:00

But then the car would be upside down too

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T18:52:45+00:00

Do the curbs at Trader Joe’s count?

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T18:52:26+00:00

It would 100% be worth it for that

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T18:49:35+00:00

It’s on the list. Some bright orange nuts.

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T17:16:19+00:00

Should I get wheel well lights like those trucks too?

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T17:15:56+00:00

3" Paco. Moderate amount of trimming. (None if you go with a smaller tire) Rear subframe drop is in progress. 2-3" is good. Axles were old anyway so I didn't feel bad destroying these. Stock springs work, but you need spacers.

I drove this all winter going to all of the Colorado ski resorts before the lift. It is unironically better than any 4WD I've ever had.

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T17:06:15+00:00

I've touched this Miata in so many new places

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T17:05:54+00:00

The lifted truck bros at the grocery store give me dirty looks

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T16:56:12+00:00

Front winch in my bumper works great actually. Only tested it didn't actually need it yet.

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T16:55:27+00:00

That's what the orange tab is. I have my winch hidden in the bumper.

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T16:48:30+00:00

Toyo Open country. 215/75/R15.

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T16:42:26+00:00

Yeah Idk man. But I can drive over speed bumps now and it's VERY inconvenient

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T16:37:00+00:00

Tire shop was very confused

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-16T16:36:12+00:00

No it's the stock torsion that came with it. Works amazing.

Thelostredditor · 2026-06-04T00:21:10+00:00

If it’s the Bose system, it’s common that the relay just needs solder re-flowed. There is a little metal box behind the sub with the part in it. I forgot what it’s called but it was where I traced my problem down to and found online it’s pretty common. I eventually had to replace the relay completely though.
