Quarantined her in the parking lot so I could go to work.
I like that mount also. How much were the lights and would you recommend them?Yep brackets and lights included.
Part# 6CD43TX7AGDo you have part# for the Dome light? Does it put out a lot more light?
Thanks

Yes, the ’19+ dome lamp lights the center and all 4 map lights when you open the door.
Hey there fellow OKCer! Jeep looks great.Since Sunday, when the weather warmed up enough to do Jeep projects:
Put on Rubicon take-off suspension with 1/2” Teraflex spacers - resulted in 2-1/4” of lift that will suit my needs. Thanks to @Chrismccool for the deal on the Rubi take-offs and tips gleaned from the forums. I got to test out my new Tekton torque wrench and 24” breaker bar bought for this project; this was my first experience with Tekton, they will be my go-to for tools in the future.
Washed and waxed the inner side of the wheels while the were off - this is a holdover from my Corvette days, once you’ve seen dirt/grime/brake dust on the inside of wheels you just can’t unsee it.
Swapped the dome light to the ‘19+up version - got more light when I open the door!
Finally got the lower trim piece seated on the passenger side - a leftover from installing the trailer hitch wiring harness in cool weather.
Wired the LEDs that I got to fill the holes in the back bumper for back-up lamps - these were connected behind the driver’s side tail lamp and downstream of the repeater that comes with the trailer hitch wiring kit. The repeater is not tolerant of the current draw of the original incandescent lamp (1.75A/21W) with the LEDs (3A/36W); back-up lamps downstream of the repeater flash and then shut down. I solved this issue by removing the original incandescent lamps.
It took me 8-9 hours to do the suspension swap. I don’t think that was too bad for a guy in his 50s working carefully by himself doing the job for the first time - would probably go quicker if I had to do it again.Hey there fellow OKCer! Jeep looks great.
I'm looking to do the same Rubi take off/spacers project on my Sahara so I'm curious how long it took you from start to fin.
TIA
Checked the mishimoto and Chinese it's the same can with their logo on it. the only thing mishimoto does is build you a mount and give you lines also half or not all the parts on your jeep are built in China just saying.Yes and no, cooler temps and can quality have a great deal to do with it, saving $100 on a Chinese can is not something I would do, especially in my $57K Rubicon.

How do you like the difference with how it shifts? Ive considered going that route too.Got these babies in the mail today, so I got those installed and finished painting my spare tire carrier.
If I remember correctly, you need acetone. Make sure the top is good and warm. Do the freedom panels on the ground. Fold the rear seat down. It's pretty easy. Good luckAny tips or suggestions? Mine arrive tomorrow!
