What
I just replaced the halogen headlamps with a set of LEDs. Easy 45 minute project. Now I'm waiting for dark to see how much better the lights are!
LED's did you go with? Have pics?

Where are you seeing all these issues with aftermarket lifts? Make sure your Mopar kit has the new coil shock isolator.
from a local shop by me i went in and ask if i should go with something else to keep my cost down but i was told its best to do the Mopar kit ...also asking around here , my local jeep club in Fort myers

Hey All, well yesterday i decided to replace the speakers in my JL Sahara , sizes are
Top dash # 3-1/2
knee bar under the dash 4"
sound bar has 2 pairs 3 1/2 and 4"
and let me tell you what a difference already i went with kickers of ebay..
next i will run small sub with a lc2 and a amp and I'm done..
but this next weekend the fun starts , My Mopar 2' lift will arrive on thursday since i pre order it a month ago, and i have 820 xd all black 18' rims with a set of 35 wild peak at3w will 325-65-18 because wild peaks don't make 35.12.5.18
anyways i really like these tires better then Nitto G2 or toyo they have a better ride and look better .. and last just as long..

my advice to you all , is stay away from all these other lift kits because all i see is a mess of death wobble .. Sticking with Mobar 2" which you can fit 33 35 on a sport or sahara or 37' on a rubicon ...ill post pics next week once i lift this bad boy ..
Also order from 4 wheel hyper tech 752504 speed meter for the tire speed..

hopes this help you all ...
i had a bad ass 12 Sahara JK
and Ram 1500 Hemi
my jk was my toy and my Hemi was my daily toy i traded both for a JL and a Ram promoter van LOL i have to work..
About the lifts I'm seeing out on the market none have control arms so how is it that your axel is straight and not pulled back some.. I had that issues with my JK RC 3" lift and i had to order control arms and traction control arm as well ..
and these 3' lift do not have anything for the pitman arm extension ..i, m just a bit lost ..
if you have another lift please tell us how your jeep is riding .

I drove Wruby to auto store since I forgot to buy the oil filter for my wife’s vehicle - imagine that. Left the top on since it was 95+ out there. Then got back home and played musical cars as I had to get her car on the lift.

What issues "kinks" are you having before I make the purchase? Definitely like the theory behind no light showing on the sides like you tend to get with the bungee style shades.
1. When you install the freedom tops, the handles towards the back on the driver and passenger windows are covered by the shade. You can slide the handle thru the shade but I don’t think this was thought thru thoroughly. A believe a simple slit, like the middle slit would’ve solved this problem.

2. With the freedom tops installed, you have to fold back the shade a little bit to secure the tops. There is some slack or sagging in the shade. I’m working on this by tightening it up more.

The positive - when flying commando, lol, all top off, we love it! The shade makes a difference and it’s a cleaner look, IMO. There are no dangling straps, the fit is right and it blocks the sun so that riding around is pleasurable. The only “real” issue we are having is getting the top off easily, winch system or the TopLiftPro!

Installed a @ROAM offroad draglink flip kit, and raised rear trackbar bracket with adjustable trackbars.
I've drilled out plenty of JK knuckles to install draglink flip kits. To say it isn't fun with a high torque drill on the vehicle is an understatement(Damn near rip your arm off if you don't go 100% straight.)
The ROAM kit came with a Jig and the correct size metric drill bit to make the job easy with even a standard battery powered drill machine.

A few quick trips around the block and the raised roll center of the Jeep is immediately noticed. The Jeep feels much more stable driving down the road and over bumps. :like:

Finally got to remove the hard top and install the soft top for summer.

Custom audio and processing installed throughout, using (2) Focal ES 165X2 component systems in the dash and soundbar.
Subwoofer enclosure with (2) 10" subwoofers, wrapped in matte red vinyl to match the dash, and featuring laser etched logo and hand-cut billet aluminum shaped to match the Jeeps design elements.

Also added Oracle LED rock lights in each wheel hub, and throughout the interior floor.

When you fold the seats down, is there now room for the head rests to fit in the floor boards without them resting at a slant, thus freeing up the floor boards for more cargo?
No, it’s still the same.
