Haha, no that’s ok, I didn’t spend 2 hours unpacking them just to give them back...:giggle:, seriously though...love your products..:rock:
My kids love when I buy LOD stuff as I tell them "you unpack it and I'll take you for ice cream" and they go to town. Everything ends up neatly setup on the parts table in the garage; and my daughter even counts and checks the hardware.

For my rear bumper my son wanted to "borrow" some money to take his first girlfriend out to a movie so I told him "Watch this video how to remove the rear bumper and if you can do it I'll pay you $25" to which he did a good job. Even removed the wiring harness from the rear bumper and all the wires still work ;)

Funny how zero issues getting them to do jeep stuff; but you ask them to clean their rooms and it's like a revolt.

Got my A-Pillar lights installed tonight... all I have left is to install the switches... I added weatherstripping under the metal to keep it from rubbing against the paint.

only one problem, my antenna is way too close to my light and it’s rattling badly. Any suggestions? it’s tie-wrapped for now..

Lights look great! The bracket resembles the one from Artec. I believe theirs mounts the lights a bit further inboard, but doesn't allow any side to side adjusting.

As for the antenna, what about a strategically placed section of shrink tubing? It would turn a "twange" into a soft "thud".

Correct... the Artec mounts are forward-only mounts. And how abouts a stubby? It would blend in nicely with the all-black setup. That coat hanger is gonna whip every which-a-ways & clang against them nice-looking cubes.

Hey “G”,
could you throw up a pic of your sliders, it looks like you can put the emblem either towards the front or towards the rear, if I’m looking at this correctly?
Thanks
Rok
Sure thing brotha! Btw best sliders ever, saving my butt on the trails!



Super cool. I'm looking at diff covers. Anything in particular that drew you to the Dana cover vs the offerings from ARB / AFE / others? I'm not sure how to evaluate the options..
Did allot of research but the main thing was these covers are made by the company that makes your axels. It’s kinda a safe bet that they can make a perfect product to keep their axels/differentials safe. I like the other ones as well and any of them will do the job but I also heard about clearance issues with say the ARB and the Dana comes with everything you need, rtv gaskets (liquid gaskets) and bolts with thread sealer and even the proper gear oil. I got this entire package from NorthRidge and love how simple it was. You even get to choose which color cover you want and if you have the sport or sport/s or rubi/sahara. But when you order it I would specify that you want 75w90 fort the front where as they send you 75w140 for both front and rear. Keep in mind that the 140 works for your front but the users manual suggests the 90, so get the 90 to be safe. Does it really make a difference between the viscosity levels not really but it might decrease performance since the front diff is used so much less than the rear. The rear recommends the 140 for people who off road and trailer, so it’s a good idea for the rear one. This package comes with the proper squeeze bottles to put it in and the exact two quarts.

Great idea, didn't think of that. :)

Got rid of my other steps and installed some new Hauk Offroad sliders. Great quality and straight forward install.
Only complaint I have, and this seems to be the norm with manufacturers, is if you have a slide xx wide, stop sending washers that are the same width when what you really need is what’s in the last pic.

Put on side steps for the kids and their grandmothers. Nothing too exciting, but it saved me $350 instead of having them put on at the factory.

I was initially against these plastic steps, but have found them to be excellent steps for toddlers and elderly, great body protection from wheel projectiles and so far have not rusted.

Installed the rear seat recline kit. The hardest part was removing the “gap cover”...too many clips holding it down. I reused the clips, just had to fix the prongs. I did it by tapping the clip over an old hatchet with a hammer...quick and easy and didn’t have to worry about getting stabbed by those sharp prongs. Took almost 1 1/2 hours.

With this installed, my floor mats don’t sit flat on the floor. Trying to decide if I should trim them to fit, but I’ll leave it for now.

And they've taken a few slides on rocks well. I was surprised.

Mounted the 275/70/18 KO2s yesterday. All five are set. Ran them at 36PSI yesterday, and dropped them to 34 today. Softened the ride up some and tracks nicely.
