Posted this in @gnome ’s Yellow Can Club, too:
Hey y’all! Is anyone else on Revkit? If you’re not familiar, it’s basically a place for you to post your mods and pics of your rig. I reached out to them about creating a group for us diesel owners and they’re asking if I know any user names.

I got a collapsible flag pole from amazon. So far it works well. But I haven’t gotten a whip to fly the flag while driving.

Like they’re not even there. No exaggeration. The 0-60 is still 7.5 seconds in 4-high. Obviously, 0-60 isn’t useful metric for off-road rigs. But it was the only objective measurement I could think of benchmarking the rig’s ability to rotate the additional mass.
In 2-high, the rear wheels spun...
Ha! My build is already quite heavy. I haven’t weighed it yet, but it’s got KMC machete beadlocks, 37s, a Rock Krawler lift (I’ve heard they are known to be heavier then other lifts out there), steel front and rear bumpers, and a winch. Trying to get some weight savings somewhere and skids are...
Y'all have converted me. I'm waiting for Artec to makes an aluminum diesel belly pan. If they are solid enough for Hollie's Mischief Maker—my "puny" diesel should be juuuuuuust fine.
Hey @ComfortablyNumb,
Apologies, I took delivery in mid-may and have been out and about driving or turning wrenches on it so I am not glued to this forum nearly as much as I was before my rig arrived. Welcome!
I'll DM you with sticker details. I was able to do one last run of each design.

Hey @Ruri, the rear crusher bumper on the Motobilt site doesn’t have the holes for the parking sensors, BUT if you call they will put it in the notes for the build and they’ll do it for you. I actually ordered mine late last week. Just a heads up; it’s currently a 1-month lead time.
Not sure...
In case anyone is waiting for/wondering about Winch Mode on the Tazer JL Mini for the diesel platform; I actually apparently live 15 minutes away from ZAutomitive. I’ve been in contact with them and my diesel’s going to be their test platform for winch mode.
Unfortunately we just have to wait...
Thanks! yours should be in the mail this week.

It was the first time she felt something other than pavement under her since taking delivery 2 weeks ago. Waiting for COVID to pass up here in NY so I can join the local Jeep club and take her on...
The flag, not the club. I created the flag. :) by no means am I attempting to take credit for the club.
Mike and Tom are the founders in my mind. Mike kicked it all off with a post and Tom ran with it with all his work with the spreadsheets and efforts to get the stickers created. I’m just...
Yeah, I just noticed today that ZAutomotive is in the same county on LI as me. I’m trying to find out if/how to set my AAL hi-line fender brackets to run as DRLs. They go on at night, but they don’t go on during the day. When I found their support number I saw it was a 631 number.
haven’t heard...
I did it @JRMedic19. I’m not sure about other inner fender liners, but Rough Country was a PAIN IN THE ASS to install. Took a lot of elbow grease. Make sure that as you install the pieces, you only LOOSELY tighten the nuts and bolts (like just enough to prevent the pieces from falling off the...
It’s been less than a week. Took delivery on Tuesday May 12 and I’ve modded at least one thing a day (check out Instagram for details, Revkit coming soon)

Got this thing home today. Tomorrow starts the build.
Thanks to everyone who recommended to check the fuses. 80% of mine were not seated fully.
14 miles on the odometer. Full diesel and def.
Hell, this thing GOES!
Steering is softer than I’d like, but I’ve never had a wrangler before. I also...
