Installed the zautomotive Tazer Mini and front camera yesterday. Working in the engine bay is not user friendly in terms of easily accessing certain areas, just not a lot of open space. The Tazer Mini and camera are pretty trick though and highly recommend them. The most difficult part of the install for me was getting to the driver side firewall plug and plugging in the aux cable into the large plug off of the radio unit. Nice piece of kit, pretty solid instructions. Installing the oem premium twill soft top later today.

@zautomotive.

I have a 2020 2DR Rubicon. I went with 33" tires (tried BF Goodrich K02s, BF Goodrich KM3s, Falken Wildpeak ATs, and Milestar Patagonia MTs). I upgraded my shocks to Falcon because it was fun. Somehow that gave me an added 2". No idea why unless I have them set too stiff. I now have 40" from the ground to bottom of the stock fender. I then upgraded my lower Control Arms with a set of adjustable Rusty Offroad. I am now going with 35" Mickey Thompson MTZs. So, I am looking at springs. I also have a set of SteerSmart endlinks I want to try (they are 9" so you have to have at least 2.5" lift). I am looking at upgrading my stock springs to 2" (most likely Rusty Offroad, unless advised not to). After watching this video, baring in mind I have a Rubicon with its naturally higher stance) I am pondering if I should go with another 1" coil spacer or a 3" coil spring set. I realize it may strike some people as ludicrous, but I would go to all of this trouble just to make the SteerSmart endlinks work because its a puzzle. Any thoughts, ideas, anecdotes, grave reservations, or even a chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Question, what are you doing with the take off Rubi suspension? I have a 2DR sport that I would love to upgrade to Rubi suspension.

On my way to having a Fast and Furious street Jeep... put a Borla Touring axle-back exhaust on and love it! :rock::LOL:
So where's the pic? And what will you have written across side of your Jeep in Japanese characters?

Some pics of the zautomotive front camera install, TopliftPros in action, and successful soft top installation. Doors off next.

Hey Trauma.

As I've dismantled the Rubicon suspension the parts have gone to other riders. The coils are next. I'm happy to save them for you.

If only we were closer, you'd get a great deal on the set of those end links. I'm just received a set of RK no limits to replace them.

Installed a GoPro mount onto the Vector Offroad EDock Bar. The bar is 1" diameter, there were a bunch of cheap mounts for bicycles and motorcycles but this one looked good (link below). I'm also using an old Samsung Galaxy S7 as a GoPro console and Gaia Maps device. Test drive was pretty good :)
