I just got done installing all of this stuff... Pretty easy install took about three hours in the driveway with the help of a friend. We probably could have done it faster, but we talked a lot of crap and was not in a hurry. My JLUR drove great, but I just wanted to up grade to stronger parts with a planned trip to the Rubicon Trail and Moab next month.

Found a better grease gun, trying to bulk load the amazon cheepie was a mistake. Had an issue with the grease zerk on my track bar being slightly too long. Too loose and grease would blow out the threads, too tight and it would bottom out on the bearing fitting and not take grease. I filed the zerk fitting down and cleaned it with brake cleaner. It loads up on grease on one side, so hopefully it migrates to lubricate it entirely which i think it will.

Torqued to 220 ftpds and adjusted to 1/16" long on drivers side without driver. With my wife sitting in the drivers position its perfect.

Track bar and Fox steering stabilizer in!

Added some Rugged Ridge Elite Tail Light Guards. Fairly easy to install, though for the price @Rugged Ridge should have pre-cut gaskets for the whole housing and not foam tape that you have to piecemeal on the perimeter of the housing.

Front LED headlight guards are next, but will be a bit more work because I will have to move the winch control head to gain enough clearance to remove the grill.

What did I do to my Jeep today? Got it kicked out of my garage (if it ever comes back from the clutch recall - now more than 2 weeks waiting for parts)

I lost my garage space because I bought my wife a Willys. She set up the CarPlay this evening and allowed me to program the HomeLink.

Aside form the fact that your wife's jeep is outstandin, I dont understand why it takes so long for your parts. Do they have to fabricate new ones because the standard parts dont work, and they know this ? Inquiring minds are so confused !

Tires are easy to find, just drive through parking lots with a 1/2 cordless impcat gun and find one you like. lol.

My first Jeep was just like that TJ on the other side of your new one... Silver with Black rag top, Rocky Mountain Edition and all.

Maybe it's just the camera angle, but is the clearance bend of your passenger lower control arm facing down? In 2 of your pics, it looks like it's upside down. Drive side lower looks up/in from that view.
