Has anyone gotten something like the Trasharoo or Spidewebshade trailsac for holding extra gear/trash? I was wondering how to accomodate the placement of the backup camera. The Trasharoo seems like a no-go but the trailsac maybe

I took better/more detailed pictures today.
I swapped the included licence plate bracket/light for some "lighted bolts." The bracket put the plate at more of a straight straight angle, but I prefered the flush look of it directly on the bumper. I mounted them in the holes where the bracket usually goes(Same bolt pattern as the plate, so no drilling of holes needed.)

Evo lower control arms went on, super beefie. I was surprised how light the OEM control arms are (weak sauce jeep). Skyjacker 2 1/2" Ko33 BTW
Ram 1" ball, Ram short arm, Ram mountable ball and a extra belt case that I had to make a phone mount. Frees up some room in the cab.
JCR, hurry with my bumpers...

Found it on Amazon, it's the ball that has a longer neck and a hole with no threads, found my own bolt. Drilled out the bar just enough to thread the bolt into the rubber grab.
Ram-B-367U it's a motorcycle mount.

I gained 2" over the RC 2.5" kit I had prior(front RC spacers were 2.5", rear were 2" so a total of 4.5" Front & 4" Rear.) I'm sure they will settle a little over the next few days giving me close to the quoted 3.5-4"
Ideally I would go with front lowers, and rear uppers to help re-center the axle and be able to adjust the caster on this kit. Skyjacker mentioned to me that they have an upgrade kit that includes adjustable arms. I know they mentioned front lowers, but I'm not sure on the rear. I wouldn't go with rear lowers as it would require you to pull the axle closer to the front of the vehicle to get the pinion angle correct, vs going with the rear uppers that would push it a little further back.
I am installing/testing a ROAM long arm kit this weekend that includes all 8 arms adjustable arms.
Hey Chris,

Thanks again for the info. I ordered the Skyjacker 4” lift with M95 shocks today... looking into the adjustable control arms you recommended. What do you know about Rusty’s products? They look decent and are about half the cost of the EVO units.

I also ordered the Mopar tailgate reinforcement and Go Rhino tire relo bracket. It looks pretty beefy and has provisions to add other accessories (like a high lift jack).

Next on the agenda is picking out a 17” x 9 or 17 x 8.5 wheel I want to use with 0 offset. I plan on running the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 37 x 12.50.

Hopefully all my parts will arrive before my JLUR gets to the dealer!

Replaced my Trail Rated badge with a black and chrome one and removed my Jeep badges. I have a black font with blue outline Rubicon decal set coming to replace the red outline one on the hood but I don’t want to remove the existing until the other one gets here so I can line the new ones up properly and put them in the exact same location on both sides.

Gonna be all blue and black on the outside.
