  1. Heated steering wheel smoked out

    No, I haven't fixed it yet. I only went far enough to price a new heated steering wheel at a local dealer. I forget the exact number, but it was under $600 and would only take a day or so to be ready for pick-up.
  2. Baja Design Wiring Harness

    If you have the factory tow package, it includes the 4 aux switch panel, which is already set up with fuses and relays. All that's needed from the wire harness pictured in my post that you quoted, are the plugs for the lamps and enough wiring to reach the passenger side front inner fender area...
  3. Let’s talk Steering Stabilizer Relocation Brackets

    Just a heads up, you might also consider pairing the Metalcloak axle side bracket with their tie rod clamp. Reason is because the axle side bracket lifts the stabilizer mounting point higher than the track bar bolt. This adds a bit more of an angle to the stabilizer in relation to the tie rod...
  4. Let’s talk Steering Stabilizer Relocation Brackets

    The Steersmarts axle side relocation bracket is still holding strong for well over 4 years now, not having that 2nd piece of hardware install outboard of the track bar bolt. That 2nd hole in the bracket is really only necessary for added strength when swapping the stabilizer out for hydraulic...
  5. JL Brake Line Relocation Kit

    I used drop brackets similar to the Clayton one that I linked, which lowered the frame side ends of the soft brake lines. That required removing the hard line from a frame mounted clamp, and a bit of hand bending to buy as much slack as possible for wheel drop. I used the teraflex rubber...
  6. OEM plastic JL bumper end cap options?

    Before my factory steel rear bumper had a chance to damage the body, I ditched it for the aftermarket. I ended up with the Cavfab Ultra High Clearance bumper, which is strong enough to protect the body from upward hits. It's of a minimalist design, so it also increased the departure angle. I...
  7. Fender Chop/split Worth it or a Mess?

    Here's my cut down plastic piece from the factory inner fender structure. After trimming both pieces, I installed them on the same side that they originally came off of. It looks like Roky put the left on the right and the right on the left. Not a big enough functional difference to not work the...
  8. Metalcloak Front Track Bar Reinforcement Bracket

    That looks like the version of the steersmarts reinforcement that includes the steering brace. I have the version without the brace. I'm thinking that the brace version is larger in profile in the area around the track bar mounting bolt, which is why that other member is having clearance issues...
  9. Metalcloak Front Track Bar Reinforcement Bracket

    Did you mean the upper spring perch? The steersmarts track bar reinforcement was 100% bolt on, clearing all other frame components. If you did mean the lower spring saddle, it would only lift that high during articulation. I set all 8 of my control arms to longer than recommended lengths, to...
  10. Steer smarts trackbar hitting axle/steering stabiliser - Help needed -

    I was trying to be gentle there. I'd rather avoid being canceled for fat shaming a track bar, of all things.
  11. Suspension Bolt upgrade to Grade 8 SAE

    My new rifle isn't nearly as shot as I've been lately, so I'm not currently capable of distinguishing between owing you a high five or an apology.
  12. Steer smarts trackbar hitting axle/steering stabiliser - Help needed -

    You could try grinding the excess threads off of the clamping bolts. Looks like about a quarter of an inch can be gained, which may be enough. And as Roky eluded to above, the SteerSmarts linkages are chunky and work best with taller ride heights and tires that don't allow the track bar to...
  13. Jeep Pulls to the right after geometry brackets install?

    I couldn't stop looking at that lower control arm frame connection. I would've at least boxed it in.
  14. Jeep Pulls to the right after geometry brackets install?

    I'd not only loosen all 8 control arm bushings, but also the mounting bolts for both brackets. Let all of it settle in under vehicle weight before retorquing.
  15. Suspension Bolt upgrade to Grade 8 SAE

    My other passion of building AR15's has been dominating my free time lately. For over a year, I was on a wait list for a specific upper receiver. It finally became available and I jumped on it like a fat kid on cake. Been busy collecting specific hand picked components, assembling, function...
  16. Suspension Bolt upgrade to Grade 8 SAE

    I went with the Metalcloak hardware kit that includes all control arm bushings (minus the front upper, which I already upgraded with the Rock Jock bushing kit), both track bars, and all 4 shocks. All zinc plated to resist corrosion, and the larger shank diameter fits tighter in the mounting...
  17. Which is better - straight air hoses or coiled?

    Thanks John! The only time I ever had a tangling issue with the 4-tire Speedflate systems coiled hoses, was due to how I previously stowed it, which was manifold first and followed by both hose legs. Ever since, I start stuffing it with the end of one leg and finish with the end of the other...
  18. Which is better - straight air hoses or coiled?

    I've had the coiled hose Speedflate 4-tire system for a couple of years now. It permanently lives in the back of the Jeep, through both the cold winters and hot summers, and still looks and feels brand new. I've used it maybe a couple dozen times, and have never had an tangling issues beside...
  19. Steps/rocksliders recommendations?

    I've been very pleased with my LOD Destroyers. Been on my 19 JLUR for about 4 years, and still look great and show zero signs of rust after taking some decent hits and living on a Jeep that's only seen soapy water on 2 or 3 occasions. My JLUR is lifted 6" and on 40's. My wife is only 4'10.75"...
