Day 38

Installed Quadratec aluminum engine, transmission and transfer case skid plate.


FYI
I decided to flex the Jeep again (installed Metalcloak Durospring bumpers). It just happened that the direction I flexed it caused front driveshaft to shift towards the skid plate and it ripped off the grease fitting. OEM driveshafts don't have this grease fitting but they're wider so I think they'd hit also.

@Quadratec Really like these skids...has the driveshaft rubbing the skids in the post above been addressed?

Added the Warn low grille guard.

Like many have said, it comes really close to the tow hooks. I was able to get my snatch strap, Gator Jaw and a D ring on there so I'd say I'm OK with it.

Added some Redline Tuning hood struts from Amazon. 10 minute install and works great so far. Has one for each side.

FINALLY! I’m so glad I waited. I love Redline for my mustang and now they have a NO DRILL/BOLT ON ONLY solution for the JL. There was another brand I think recently that was drilling into the hood/etc. No thanks.

Ordered!

Also FYI, cheaper on their site, taking shipping into account.

Just finished installing my fox stabilizer. If your Jeeps not lifted it’s a PITA!!! Had to jack it up to get the bolts to line up. Have to take it on the highway but definitely feels tighter locally. I have it set half way and I’ll play with it from there

Anyone know what the OEM torque is for the eyelet bolt?? Directions don’t specify... I put it fairly tight but didn’t lay into it

I could tell you, but then....
I started it remotely from 12,000 miles away using the app while laying in bed, let it run for a few minutes, then turned it back off and went to sleep.

The most amazing part of it all?

The app worked.

Headed to the dealer today (getting H-kitty oil changed) and will sign up for nearly two grand in dealer-added accessories - and that doesn't count the few hundred I have on order coming to the house...WHEN WILL IT STOP? This is cracking me up spending all this cheddar on accessories - I haven't had this much fun doing that since my twenties!
It ain't gonna stop, and it's only just begun. Obviously, I don't know how handy you are with a wrench, but doing all the modifications, installs, oil changes, etc. yourself are much more fun and even more satisfying.

And... only 2 grand?

Sweet!! No need to lift your rig unless you just want more room to work if it’s not lifted. Pretty simple just remove and replace.
Is it so simple a caveman can do it? I ask because I've been eyeballing that stabilizer for a bit. (@Bricazo)

Any residual steering adjustments to make post-install?

Finally got my control arm brackets notched out, thanks out to @JimLee for a little direction. Wasn’t bad at all, had both sides done and painted in 30 minutes. Always goes better when you can stand up under your rig. My buddy’s got a nice home shop with a lift. Colby, on the other hand , was no help what so ever......:)
