Put my hard top on (got it for a steal of 1000$ cdn dollars! (758 us)) and not necessarily today but put the spare cover on, and had it rust proofed (a must in Canada). Getting snows soon to put on the stock rims, and then buying some nice 31s for the summer. Edit: Oh and also got a hitch put on.

Alpha HD tire carrier by teraflex, and fox performance steering stabilizer going on today.. Excited to fix the back up sensors, and tighten up the sterring
I did the Alpha HD and mounted my 37 on it with a factory steel bumper. It is rock steady but I did add some nylon lock nuts to the inside of the bolts under the gate panel for a little insurance. The one thing I will say is that Teraflex should have left a spot for the wires to be pulled thru and routed cleanly instead of up and over with a ziptie

Roget that. I run 37' Ridge Grapplers and was looking to purchase a simple (read inexpensive) relocation bracket/plate to move it up. But its hard to find info about whose bracket will do that just enough to maximize rear visibility, but retain full sensor function on my factory steel bumper. Nice that the Alpha HD will allow you to fine tune your placement, but $$$.

I look hella lame right now with my no lift 37s and a baby 33 in the back!

COL Wifey tells me I should not have installed the wheels and tires until I had everything. Yeah right!

I have 35s and used the RC spare tire relocator which has stopped the beeping. $79.00

With a amazon Mopar like re-enforcement bracket $229.00

This setup is working great and my wheels are heavy almost 100lbs..My gate was squeaking like crazy before I added the re-enforcement bracket so I would highly recommend u use one.

RC also makes a support bracket for cheap but not sure how good it is as another option $65.00

Nothing major, but a first for me as a new jeep owner....oil and filter change and 5 tire rotation. Feel like we are getting the know one another a little better, now that I've been under the hood....local dealership won't get my business...they were @$$hats when I I was shopping 5 years ago (hence another Subaru) and again a few months back when I was jeep shopping again. No worries about over filling with 6 quarts, since I have a great relationship with the mechanic

Teraflex alpha HD spare mount added, works beautifully, just high enough to fix parksense sensor, but low enough to maintain visibility, and it fits really tight against the vehicle so even with 4.53ā€ backspace I am using the factory bumps

also like the taillight relocation

also added a fox steering stabilizer and love that the Jeep now feels solid and actually seems to have picked up turning radius

mine stock was getting 10.4ā€ when I first got it, itā€™s gone up a little but not even close

I do a lot of cut driving and the freeway I do get on is trafficky, and I have a lift and 104lb tire combo

Theres something wrong if your only getting 10.4 mpg are you sure your not reading it in kilometers?? I get on my jeep also on the highway and my worst was 19.5.

this is when I was driving normal before I started babying it... now I managed to get it up to 14.

I do a lot of city driving, and the freeway I do go on has a ton of traffic. I have a 104lbs wheel combination, but I can't say the fuel mileage was much different before... I am trying to accelerate slow, stay under 70.. roll to lights.. nothing is helping..

I'm done with it....I'm very happy for you that you get unheard of mileage and range on you Jeep Wrangler.

I love you

(Man, that was hard to do)
Don't you feel better now?

Just let it out. Woosa.... Woosa

For ours with 37s I run 3 pucks f/r and donā€™t have any rubbing. Donā€™t know when you ordered your steer smart drag link but they now specially mention MC and recommend for their 3.5 to go with the bottom mount DL vs the no drill top mount.

Iā€™m ordering the AAL highline led fender for the front and will remove another puck. Might be something to look into

Brett
Hi Brett. I am going with 3.5 MC and adding AA highlines as well. Did you take a puck out?

Reset the MPG readout at the next fill up. I bet it is skewed from the the test drives and early idling before delivery.
