What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Roky]

I saw the light and swapped out the track bar for the Steer Smarts Yeti XD. Simple & easy, but if you have the Fox ATS stabilizer (I do), you may have to remove it to get the track bar on (I did). You'd also have to make sure you position the adjuster tube bolts where they don't interfere with the stabilizer bracket. Overall, after measuring the length between the bushings, I had to set & tighten the adjuster tube clamps, set the bar, reinstall the stabilizer, & then tighten everything up. Well worth the effort.

I was amazed at the difference in heft, weight, and appearance.

I also mounted the @ROCK HARD 4X4 rear LCA skids. Solid, beefy, & weighty. I couldn't get the dang driver-side front LCA bolt off. I raised it up high enough to get leverage & tried everything in the arsenal...breaker bar...hammer, frog legs, eye of newt, witch hazel...I didn't bother with the passenger-side. Those m'effers are hold-on-for-dear-life-tight. They're on so tight, I noticed there are cracks on both sides of the bolts on each arm. Maybe even over-torqued. The rear bolts were tight, but didn't give me anywhere near this trouble. After over 2 hours, I gave up. Try again next weekend...suggestions & prayers are welcome.

Annnnd.... the track bar is your favorite color....

I'm partial to orange, but arrest-me-red is high up on The List, depending on what it is or who's wearing it.

Are those wheels new? That hole looks like someone used stainless steel bolts and didn’t use any grease or anti seize on them. Sorry you’re having to deal with that shit. If they’re new, I would imagine dirty life would step up.

They are taking them back, yes they were new!

Finally had some time to install the Zeon 10S. Went ahead and used the Arctec winch plate, which was very straight forward. The only issue I had was placing the final inferior bolt to the frame. Had to use a wobbly and do some crazy hand gymnastics to get it in. I don't think I was able to fully tighten it as much as I'd want but should be fine. Has anyone else had any similar issues? Overall very happy and it looks

That looks beautiful, can you add a link to your quarter JP stripe

Thanks! But it's just plasti-dip. I taped it off and painted it myself on each side.

Havent taken mine off yet, now im curious

I’d be a bit livid if I found that on my new wheels. Means someone thought is was a great ideal to impact on the bolts without starting the threads first. Bad quality control plain and simple.

We put that winch on with the Warn plate and it was a true PITA. The inner bumper bolts were not fun to tighten.

Finished installation of Maximus-3 winch mount and d-ring loops. I began this last weekend but had a very minor hiccup, which Maximus-3 took care of promptly. I really like how clean their design is w.r.t. a minimal slot to cut in the bumper, and their mount and ring loops are solid stuff. Winch to be added next year.

I have the same parts from Maximus-3. Make sure a D-ring pin can pass through the d-ring loops. For me the finish on the loop was a little too thick and I had to grind it down some. Might want to check now, ahead of needing them on the trail.

Went Topless for the first time after building my top hoist.

Few things this weekend, added a decal, got the tires rotated and balanced, added Energy Suspensions spare tire bumpers, hit 10k miles, got my first rock chip and got it fixed this morning.

Swapped out the shocks. 3 extra inches of down travel. Im extremely happy with how much it can flex only with 1.5 inch spacer lift.

Made some pull straps for my boy, Jeeps a little tall for him

GREAT IDEA
what did you attach the strap to and what kind ? Thanks !

Finally finished up the DV8 beadlocks on the Jeep. I think they look pretty sweeet. This is how the convo went at the tire shop.

Tire Guy: Those rims look great. Are you doing any more mods?

Me: Thanks. The rims were the last modification I plan on doing. Im completely fini.....[glance at my Jeep for a few seconds]. Do you think I should lift it more? It looks kinda low now.

Tire guy: Absolutely.

Rims look awfully similar to mine....... They'll get beat up quickly. Rim edges have some chunks gouged out of them from the trails. Bumpers look like a similar breed also. You have very good tastes.

When I put in the LOD Destroyer Sliders/steps I had to drill a new hole in the frame and with Winter coming up here in MN I wanted to beef up the anti-rust. I had to remove the slider and applied some industrial strength anti rust spray then reattach the slider, can't be too careful here in MN.

Added Westin Oil Pan skid. Painted it red to match the other skids i have as well. Pretty simple install and the price was right.

And no, i don't expect the paint to survive should the plate get hit, but I've got plenty left to touch it up.
