Fox TS here as well. Although, I went with the SteerSmarts bracket on the axle side. It's a double sheer design, and it's vertical stabilizer bolt allows the bushing to flex radially instead of sideways.TS is the way to go! Take a look at the Fox 2.0 TS for the JK, it works perfectly on the JL-all you need is the Synergy Stabilizer Stud/Trackbar Bolt for $25 and you are good to go! Mounts the stabilizer above and out of harms way.

Lots of awesome mods here. I’m probably never going to do the extreme trails many of you do—I will live vicariously through your adventures though.
The main reason I bought a Jeep was the ease to flat tow it behind our RV. We finally got it done. Tested it yesterday for a 20 mile drive. It works well.

Installed the accessory shelf above the cargo shelf to be able to easily mount a high lift jack and other accessories. If anyone is in the market for a cargo shelf, the ones from Texas Metal Works are unparalleled in quality and construction.
Great design and John P. is a great guy to work with. (Stock photos; not my JL).

When I went to pick mine up from the dealer I immediately raised the hood and verified I had the correct black steering gear box. Or course after 2 turns I knew it was a different box.

Be honest. You just bought the Jeep to push the RV from the rear.Lots of awesome mods here. I’m probably never going to do the extreme trails many of you do—I will live vicariously through your adventures though.

The white wheels and raised white letter tires look like a product of the 70's or 80's. But I'm a product of the 70's and 80's so I have absolutely no problem with thatShe got a new set of Quadratec 17” wheels and 35” General tires

what is the reason or benefit of attaching the stabilizer to the tie rod using trackbar bolt vs using the “vehicle-specific brackets it comes with to mount in the existing stabilizer location” (per quadratec website).TS is the way to go! Take a look at the Fox 2.0 TS for the JK, it works perfectly on the JL-all you need is the Synergy Stabilizer Stud/Trackbar Bolt for $25 and you are good to go! Mounts the stabilizer above and out of harms way.
Also, your saying the one for the JK will fit and work on the JL (I’m assuming if using the trackbar bolt)? Thanks

This is where it gets tricky. If you are running stock steering setup it mounts one way, if you are using aftermarket stuff it mounts differently. Bottom line, if you are ever going to upgrade your steering (highly recommended), do it first.

Not my Jeep, but I did get to work on my bud"s wife JLR. I used a heat gun to remold the rear inner fender liners so her 37s would not rub when off roading.
Pic of her Jeep with mine. She named her 2dr Little Bit.
She wheels it hard. My bud and her bought her a JLR, because she almost rolled his JKUR at Windrock. The funny thing, is my bud then rolled his Gladiator Rubicon about two weeks ago. Well, not funny, a $70,000 2020 Gladiator rolled with about 6,000 miles on it. In our circle, we call it the cost of wheeling.

Cleaned up the engine compartment and installed Redline hood struts.

Looks great. It is hard to tell from your photo, but make sure the top brackets go under the hood insulation for a proper fit. If you don’t want to fit them under, you can always trim the hood insulation back. *Here is what they look like with the hood insulation trimmed and the bracket properly seated.Cleaned up the engine compartment and installed Redline hood struts.
