I have one and think getting a heavy bead lock off and being careful with camera wiring is WAY more of a pain in the ass vs stock or teraflex. It fits well I love the Rotopax mounts, wish the antenna mount was 1/2-1cm further back so it would clear the glass. It is solid, but heavy, install is like their video, lots of adjustments. But not horrible. Tire is also high and has no height adjustment. Ok for me use the camera if you care. The back spacing adjustment is great, Just don’t over torque the hinges to body frame, they have an unexpectedly low torque spec.

I’m in lake arrow head this weekend if you are out there for Labor Day and want to check it out.
Oh cool man thanks for the info. I was just up there last weekend, maybe i can make it out there again lol. Might still keep my options open on the carriers then.

Just swapped the direction of the rear shock bolts. Stole the idea from Dr Jeep, aka @stil2low . Less likely to get dinged on rocks. Realized on the second bolt that you don't even need to jack up the Jeep. duh!
Of course, I said, "Hey, that's a great idea." Only to realize that mine were already facing in when I swapped my shocks last week. :facepalm:

Installed the morimoto sequential fender lights and they are amazing. The front end looks so much cleaner compared to the cheap lamps the Sahara came with. I have the Flashcal set up and I have zero issues with the lights :D

Install isn’t to bad but I highly recommend removing the wheel fender to make it so much easier and cleaner to install. Took me all of about an hour and a half to install and a calm and easy pace :)

I tackled the big job of installing a brake control....... Took less than two minutes.

Easy to do if you have the tow package. Find the plug in the drivers footwell, plug in the wiring harness, drill two holes in the plastic where you plan to mount it. Put the two bolt in the bracket and tighten, run the two screws to secure the brake controller to the bracket, plug the wiring harness into the brake control. I think it took longer to type this and attach the pic than it did to complete the install of the brake controller.

Wish I had the tow package. I don't even know how I'd install a break controller now.

Had Dick Cepek 285/70/17 tires mounted and installed on Quadratec Hardrock 17x8.5” wheels (hubcentric).

Very happy with the look and will be installing Rubicon takeoff suspension, the longer Mopar lower control arms, and .5” Teraflex leveling kit this weekend. Doing it myself so wish me luck

I’ve put the Falcon 2.1 shocks on, and just finished the Falcon steering stabilizer/relocation. Man it’s hot and sticky out there. When I cool off, new rock sliders.

Not today, but first thing tomorrow morning, it’s over to my buddies shop and put on my new shocks and springs, rear sway bar links, and rear track bar relocation bracket....:clap:. I’ll be like a kid on Xmas morning, be over there at daylight pounding on his door with coffee and donuts, and beer for after. N/A beer for me, since I’m 20 years sober come January.....:)

Yeah... something about tearing crap off of a 50k rig, and bolting crap on that’s very calming to me... I know... weird huh.... :facepalm:
