Those look great. I’m trying to decide between those and the D1 model. Did you have any trouble with the body bolts?
Mounting the brackets to the body was no big deal but the bolts connecting the nut plate inside the step to the mount was a real PITA. I got really good advise from @vhfan5150 to keep everything loose and half lined up. The issue is the hex bolts they provided only allow an open ended wrench to tighten which you can only turn a 1/4 turn at a time x12 bolts. If you have patience (lots and lots of patience) the steps are great, just enough step for a solid footing without sticking out to far.

Cool! Thanks for the advice and notes.

Installed 1.75 spidertrax wheel spacers, Rubicon shocks and springs, and a TeraFlex 1.5 performance spacer kit. Waiting on stock tires to wear out.......
Looks good man!

Got the new wheels installed today (17x9 Method Standards). The extra rim width really changed the look of the tires ... more squared off and mall crawlerish They looked good on the stock rims but I think just ok on the new ones. Thinking I will end up switching from st maxx to stt pro before it's over. The backspacing on the wheels added about 2in of added width (tire outside the fenders .. before and after below) on each side as well. Used tpms recommended here but so far only 1 of 4 has registered.

This is more what did you to your jeep the last 2 weekends. It’s almost done. I soldered almost every connection (accept the reverse light tap in.)

1) rerouted arb air compressor wires inside the jeep through the hole near brake vacuum reservoir. Still need to cut and insert a grommet

2) installed ham radio. Ground strap for quad band antenna

3) installed hard wire for arb fridge

4) LOD Destroyer with rigid back up defused lights. Butchered up a rigid wiring harness with relay. I may add an opinion to power them with Aux switches, but figured if I really need light back there I am in reverse or doing something behind the jeep.

Thanks buddy, I did a DIY in the DIY thread as well. Not sure why I posted so many here but initially I wasn’t going to do a DIY lol
My son said we should have filmed it so others wouldn’t make the same mistakes.
