they are in the final phase of testing and fitting. I believe it will be here by end of year/early to mid January
Hell yes. How much extra HP/torque do they advertise for say the 3.6L? Just curious as to where we may end up with the 3.0L.

they haven’t put it out yet and I have yet to see the actual Dyno numbers. I spoke with the guy that dyno’d my Jeep he said it was something like 15hP 30/lbs torque

Still sounds like it’ll be worth every penny. Prob install that and a new exhaust at same time.

The intake sound is pretty good, I love the whistling sound is so awesome

Nice, let us know if / when you get the final dyno numbers. Very clean install.

Curious, were you able to take the back pressure butterfly valve off on the back half of the exhaust without throwing some sort of check engine light?

The butterfly is on the stock exhaust to produce back pressure and send some exhaust through the low pressure EGR.

I am not sure what they removed and what they kept, but I have not gotten any CEL’s from the upgrade

What an awesome rig! Well played!

How much clearance do you have with the AntiRock's? Think I could clear them with 5" backspace and 37's or would they rub flexed at full lock?

Meanwhile I still have these sliders/steps in my garage. I have tried contacting the company 2 more times this last week and still no response. I am really starting to lose my patience.

on a more positive note. I have my winch ready to go, but who knew you needed a winch plate to mount this thing. Apparently they don’t come with the winch :CWL: you would think after all these builds I have read I would have caught that... Nope. I ordered one from rugged ridge and should arrive Monday so hopefully by Tuesday I’ll have this bad boy on

It has been a while since I have updated this. Not much has happened as far as upgrades. I finally gave in and upgraded my steering stabilizer and To be honest I’m not really in love it with. Even on the firmest setting the steering feels super loose. I am planning on going out for EJS hopefully when I get back I’ll do a full steering upgrade.

Did you get the stiffer anti rock sway bar?
To my Knowledge there is only one options on the sway bar now you can do the forged steel or Aluminum arms

After months of going back n forth on what sliders. I finally decided on the Rock Slide Engineering ones. Instructions were fairly straight forward. When it got to the protective strip part it wasn’t specifics and I ended up place a bit too high. Only issues I ran into aside from that were the body bolts would not come loose I had to make a breaker bar and had to use the entire time to loosen up. Now that I’m back I am gonna spend a morning

I could have just used soap and water to clean the area but I like how easy this is

Alcohol based surface prep to get any oils off

These were a pain and getting the washers up enough to fit the brackets in was an even bigger pain. My arms and rubber mallet to a good work out beating the brackets in

You can see the rubber protector strip is just a little high. Smh I screwed the pooch on that one. Not sure if I pull off if they will re stick or if I have to some how scrape off and apply new 3m tape or have to get replacements :headbang:

Over all I love the look and before any major off roading I’ll buy the skids for them

Those look really functional. I went with LoD Destroyers thinking I could use them as a step, but truth be told they are too high for a step, too low for a good rock slider. Wish I'd followed your lead!
