3.0 MODS - Show em off

Here's mine. AEV spacer kit for now until something better is available. I'll probably order the LOD Destroyer full bumper too, just didn't know if it would fit on a diesel. I'll let someone else verify that before ordering.

Who makes that front bumper?

What AEV spacer kit did you use? No rubbing?

It's just the 2" spacer lift that comes with the shock extensions and sway bar links. No rubbing yet, but I haven't flexed it yet either.

It's a LOD. The main reason I bought it is because it's the only one I've found that endorses using it for flat-towing behind RV's. They make tow bar adaptors (I have a Blue Ox bar) and frame tie-in brackets that allow for connecting the safety cables.

Alright folks...the first trailer ride is done and the 3.0 is tucked away in the shop for wash, clay and ppf. Ecodiesel sticker is gone and I learned the hard way that this type of trailer requires you to exit via the window or the rear swing gate ...I tried both.

I was looking at the LOD rear bumper and tire carrier but I liked the poison spyder front bumper too. I can't decide if it would be weird to mix and match bumpers. My first thought was that if the finish is the same (smooth powdercoat) then it wouldn't matter, but idk.

I put a Terra Flex 2.5 inch lift kit with Falcon 3.3 shocks but the the right front shock would not fit. The piggyback hit the battery box. I’m going to put the 2.1 mono shocks. I’ll post picks when shocks are installed.

Finished up with the 2.5 Terra Flex lift. Well almost. Originally I ordered it with 3.3 Falcon SP shocks and the right front shock piggyback hit the battery box so I have the 2.1 coming. Everything went well but because the diesel is heavier I had to add an inch spacer to the front. The back was spot on. The front only raised it an 1 1/2 with spacer it a tad over 2/12. Also had to use the stock bump stop on front on bottom.

A word to the wise...I went to take off some skid plates today while the ppf is still being applied so I could bring them home and get the cerakote job started. Turns out the skid plate for the fuel tank is the only thing holding it on the vehicle. I saw no easy way to unhook the tank so that plate will be sprayed in place. If anyone damages that plate and has to replace it, have fun!

The fuel tanks were like that on all my CJs, TJs, and the LJ. It was probably the same for the JK. It is not overly fun if you have to replace a fuel pump, especially if you gave a full tank.

Yea the plate alone has some serious heft to it now because it’s protecting two tanks...I’ve got maybe 2 gallons of diesel onboard and would probably have to lower that assembly with a floor jack if it were full.

So I have been looking for a good way to document and track my Mods to my rig. I found this site:

Just started to play with it. Don't know much about it and thought I would share.
