I think for the price they look great, we'll have to see how long they last. The Seat Cover Care Instructions say "Never leave in direct sunlight for long periods!", so I'm a little concerned about that.

Yeah, for the price it may be worth it to try. I'm planning on using them to protect my leather seats during the open top season.

Finally got my 50" mounted and tested at night. I went with the @Rough Country Suspensions SR 50" Black Series and the @Artec Industries cowl mounting brackets. The bar is a little under 50" and the brackets sit right around 52", so I had to make two 1" spacers (one for each side) and used M8-1.25x40mm hex cap bolts. I wired it into my Trigger Controller for power.

Also, FYI, M8 bolts do not fit through the Artec brackets (I think some light bars use smaller bolts maybe M6), so I had to open up the hole/notch a little bit with my Dremel. I then re-sprayed them with truck bed coating to texture match the other components on my Jeep.

The light also came with a nice snap-on blackout cover, which literally does blackout the light completely.

Overall, I'm very happy with the products and and the end result!!

Also, here's a #selfie of me, after turning back off my light bar and using just LED headlights...

INSTALLED:

Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 Fast Adjust Steering Stabilizer

The install was very easy and thanks to @TTEChris I was able to get the torque specs for the track bar because the instructions did not have it!

For anyone installing any stabilizer with your Jeep on the ground the track bars torque value is 110 ft lbs.

I had originally lifted it but realized it didn’t help so I dropped it and just removed that side of the track bar.

At any rate, it was very easy and thank you @TTEChris for the help on the fly!!

Did you need it?

Did you need it?

No I was not yet having any steering problems, however, I purchased and installed it as preventative measures.

Whether or not it helps in the future, I suppose only time will tell.

Piece of mind really.

If you weren't having issues I'd of left it alone. I don't think steering stabilizer has been the actually root cause of too many issue. Let me know if you need help with any future mods!

How does it perform?

The thought had crossed my mind but now that it is in I do like having the adjustment feature. I held both the OEM and Falcon and the Falcon seemed to be of better quality but who knows lol

Will do man thanks for the offer!

I’ll let ya know tomorrow haha!

I have the XD Addict wheels, which have these removable "bolts". I bronzed them to add a little color and get rid of the silver. I think they turned out great!

Here's the before/during/after photos. I will try to get some outdoor photos tomorrow in the sunlight....

I was able to install mine without touching the track bar.

I had the same wheels on my silverado, i took all those out and cut a bunch of bolts and jb welded the heads into the holes. I like the bronze idea though it looks great.

I had these on my Raptor too - I love these wheels!
Actually someone put zinc bolts in there. I think they kind of screw in snug enough, IIRC. I wasn't certain I would like the result, and also didn't want to add any weight. I'm glad I did what I did in the end! At least for now!!

Must be nice haha Albeit removing that one side wasn’t really an issue, it would have been nice to skip that step for sure. How do you like yours so far?
