I was going to put on some 2” dynatrac springs today but the weather didn’t cooperate. So on went the 295/75r17s. Recalibrated the speedometer and tpms with JScan. Rear is definitely the tightest with these tires. Also realized my rear bumper is off about 1/8 to far too the drivers side as the spare just rubs on the passenger side.

Next weekend is supposed to be nice so the Frankenlift will go on.

Nothing spectacular but I finally cleaned up the wires from my SiriusXM onyx. Pulled the dash tray and drilled a half inch hole to feed them through. Used a hardwire adapter for the onyx and a JL aux power wiring adapter. Finally, filled a little channel in the tray under the aux jacks. Will finish it up when the bulletpoint rubi grid shows up later today.

Installed the core4x4 front track bar. Fit was great, took a few tries to get it centered.

I’m The front axle is centered according to the tape measure off the upper coil buckets.

After coming across an alien sunshade for $30 on Amazon. I used the windshield bolts and not the clips. To protect the sport bar I put some cheap clear vinyl wrap on the contact areas.

Finished up the security box this morning. It’s got a things I would tweak if I did it again but overall I am happy.

Finally got test out the suspension this past weekend. I have to say I am very happy with the pairing of Dynatrac springs and Rubi take off shocks. The shock extensions allowed plenty of droop. Now that I am happy with that it’s time for an engine skid, bumper and winch.

Some updates since the last one.

First I replaced the front brakes with some bendix fleet metlocks. Really have been impressed with the stopping power, they are a little dirty though.

Than I threw some bunker industries LED lights and generic LED fogs.

Next after lots of delay I gave her a face lift.

Rugged Ridge HD bumper with skid and over rider bar. Packaged a badlands apex in the winch mount. It was a snug fit for sure

Of note, the apex winch needed the power wire relocation performed to clear the grill. Also, sport fog lights will not fit the RR HD. Just ordered some amber led saraha/JK style ones so will see how they fit.
