Jeeps lots of jeeps
I had the Mopar lift installed. Realized when I go home that the shop only installed one new control arm and left one old control arm on...

Surprisingly it still drives 100% better than stock. However, it annoys me that one arm is longer than the other so I will take it back.

Ditched my plastic rear bumper for a steel RockHard 4x4 rear bumper. Now I need to sort out the spare tire carrier. The 34” Ridge Grapplers I have wont fit because the bumper doesn’t have a recess. I have the RockHard spare tire relocation bracket, but there’s some interference with the Mopar tailgate support so I need to space out the RockHard bracket, nothing’s easy...
I’ll get around to it this week maybe

Many thank-yous… I can't see why it wouldn't work with the Mopar reinforcement kit. There doesn't look to be any interference & they both use the same eight 13mm bolts that mount to the tailgate. With the offset I have, the camera catches a sliver of the lower part of the rim (also did with the stock carrier). The rear camera housing tube is mounted to the adjustable part of the carrier & slides forward & back based on your wheel offset. I didn't care much for the cheap, plastic "vanity" cover; this one's aluminum, is better quality, and looks better. There are creative DIY methods to extend the camera using pvc (won't work with this), but the overall view isn't obstructed.

Please forgive the fuzzy mess. I took this in the dark and haven't yet reconnected my rear lights, and I still have more work to do.

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:
@obwahn

Well, this is awkward. I spent a lot of the weekend underneath my Boo-Boo (stop laughing) inspecting, hosing, scrubbing, & cleaning the entire undercarriage after the past 2 weekends of wheeling & rock-crawling shenanigans. It rained all kinds of rocks, red clay, & brown water.

Anyways, I knew I took a few hits...my rear bumper was proof of it, and I must say...the MC rear diff skid was an absolute stud. I gave Spotter Extraordinaire @mgroeger a spark show from my front end off a rock. Aaaaaaand this is my rear driver-side LCA bolt. Facing inwards. I'm expecting Rock Hard LCA skids any day now (obviously wouldn't have helped), and I hope I can get this nut off. It's mangled at the tip, but it looks like I can. Them dang bolts are a spinch too long. Size really does matter.

Typical male... hoping to get a nut off. There...I beat all the lady forum members to TWO jokes.

That is considerably better than what I see for sure. I've been trying to find a way to extend the rear camera to clear the rimlkp. This would be an expensive way to do it, but i do like the carrier.

Oh man that’s terrible! How’d they overlook that?

Oh dang - can always cut that bolt, if needed. They look too long anyway :)

Looks like it should be easy enuff, you will like those skids. I have a set and they are solid.

Installed Roam's frame mounted sliders. Looks great, but will need to loosen up and realign passenger side, as after numerous times couldn't get the gaping properly. Only got 1/8" gap between body and rails, the driver side is perfect with 1/2" gap.

Got these DV8 slider/steps installed and realized for the install price I could’ve bought the tools and done it myself...lesson learned
Lesson #2. Always do it yourself.
