Installed an Icon Centerline Steering Stabilizer. I ordered this in late December and it took about 3 months to ship. I also had the steering box replaced a couple of weeks ago and waited until that was done before installing the new stabilizer.

Looks nice, lot of questions popped up here...
1. How unsafe is that old Jack??
2. what are those black brackets you have behind the tow hooks? Looks like end result is those came off and roll hoop is mounted with light bar in front. Looks pretty clean, I was thinking of making this my next step.
Just curious what those brackets were for because they look like they’d be too wide for that light bar

I have not seen a through shaft mounted that way. Only seen with TS pointing to driver side.

After many hours of research and some patient waiting for parts, my son and I installed Rubi springs, shocks, and a 1/2 inch Teraflex level kit. Here is before and after:

I finally got my wheels moved over. I was awaiting delivery of the Spartacus HD hinge. I went with the Teraflex Tire Carrier this time. The spare is mounted nice and low...better position that the Spartacus carrier

Family was so excited! Finally had a good day to open it up... Removed doors and back qtr windows. Installed mirrors and DV8 foot pegs. Went for a short drive around town.

What mirrors are those? How do you like the Sky One power top? Removing the doors lets a lot more airflow through Jeep.

My wife likes the Sahara with at least half-doors on.

I like my half-doors but need mirrors when I want to take them off.

Spent some time and drilled the optional holes in my frame for my LoD signature sliders. These things should be good and strong now.

The front plate for my LoD bumper showed up today as well. Once I move my plate over from NC to CO, I’ll be ready to mount the front plate.

Got new 17in Mopar rims and BFG KO2 315/70/17 installed. I don’t regret spending all my extra money.

Damm that looks good!!

Although I am going from 35's to 37's on my Rubi 2-door when the 37" KO2 load range C's arrive next month, this little birdie keeps whispering in my ear that 35's are the sweet spot for 2-doors...

Installed my ARB dual compressor on Grimm off-road mount. Let me tell you, I'm glad I bought extra fender clips before I did the install. When I pulled the fender off I broke 6 of the 10 clips that hold the fender on. Not only that, I couldn't tell you how the other 4 DIDN'T break. Went to home cheapo and got a 25 foot air hose and air chuck. All set to reinflate now!

Also installed my front and rear Rockjock antisway bars. Front was much easier than the rear. Rear wasn't hard really, but if I didn't have a die grinder to bevel the frame orifices it would have been pretty difficult to get the bushing in place.

EDIT: The Grimm off-road install instructions were some of the best I've ever seen! Whoever writes their instructions definitely needs a raise!

I installed the same compressor and mount a couple of weeks ago. Also broke a few clips. Clean setup.

I’m running an Icon lift and wheels, too. I’m very happy with those so also going with their stabilizer.

As far as the compass not working...

When you upgrade from the 5” to the 7” you have to add the GPS antenna. I had the same issue. The compass worked with the 5”, disappeared with the 7”. After a lot of research, I learned you must add the physical GPS antenna and cable.
Once you’ve installed the antenna (yup, you gotta pop your head unit off again) you calibrate the compass by following the onscreen instructions. It’s an easy fix, just tedious having to take off the trim and risk breaking plastic doohickeys again.

Here’s the part you need. This will allow you to mount the antenna on the sport bar where it goes.

Thanks for the info. I ordered an OEM antenna (gps/sirius) online. So for $100 it will provide for compass and sirius radio.
