Installed Spidertrax wheel spacers, finally found 5 KM3s that will be here in a couple days. We actually really like the look of the factory wheels so going to roll with them for a bit.

New tires came in today. Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 in 315/70/17, have to run my Milestars another 5k miles before I can mount these up though :( :( But the wait will be well worth it!
Much better tires for a great price :)

I love these tires. Definitely sticking with them for my next set.

HAHA It’s actually an ongoing joke ... she’s from “Serbia” I used to introduce her as my mail order ...

She started dating me when I had absolutely nothing, I lived in a shack in a crappy area with no cable or internet with a used couch and a 19 inch tv ... now she’s a house wife and we live in a beautiful neighborhood

How does it do with pushing 37s? Are you running the 4.10s still?
I honestly can’t really feel much of a difference at all ... yes I still have the 4.10s and feel absolutely no need to re-gear. The turbo still gets up and goes, it’s really impressive ... 37s on this setup are less noticeable than the 35s on my JKUR.

Finally got the TSB for the diesel steering box completed. What a difference. Thanks for @JeepCares the box came in. Last weekend I went up to the old dale mining district and gave the new cooper stt tires a workout. Tons of rocks. When I looked under the jeep at the MC underarmor I could see clearly where the rocks kissed the armor. Especially the rear diff skid plate. Because of the armor, zero damage.

Finally ditched the rear track bar extension bracket and added an adjustable bar.

For a 3.5" lift should we be using the adjustable track bar and relocation bracket or just the adjustable track bar?

Rather than a roof rack for fuel and Maxtrax...

I previously put on the Rebel Offroad Blackout kit.

Today I figured out a way to mount my Maxtrax inside with the help of industrial strength Velcro, some rubber coated twistable wires I picked off an endcap at Home Depot, and my XG Gama Bags.

The unusual location and orientation of the Rightline recovery board bag handles were helpful in securing them and assuring they would stay wedged up there in conjunction with the Velcro on the sport bar. Also, the recovery boards don’t hang below the sport bar and I was able to remove the boards, put them back, and zip the bag up again.

Replaced the stock paper speakers in the front dash with a pair of Kickers. Along with the new Alpine soundbar speakers, there is a night and day difference!

Any amp upgrade needed? Trying to upgrade speakers without adding an amp.

Both is best, as long as your track bar can be shortened enough to center the axle. I have a 3.5" lift and brackets on both ends of my rear track bar. Raising the roll center, via the axle side bracket, will reduce body roll and tail wag during and immediately after bumps. The frame side adds an overall solid and planted feel to the rear end, which domino affects to better and more predictable tracking and steering.

Dana got some fresh spinny juice. OEM only whilst under warranty.

After dressing the plugs' threads, I added small wraps of a quality PTFE tape.

Just a thin film of sludge was evident on the rear axle's drain plug. I've witnessed the same on the Ural's 3 drain plugs during its inaugural fluid changes, so I'm not concerned.
The other Dana received her share this morning. The old fluid was still recognizably amber, unlike the pitch of drained oil in the rear. This was as I expected.

Glad to have had a fluid pump on hand for the front diff.

Your warranty does not require you use OEM fluids.... Just mentioning so some other poor slug does not think as you do and pay crazy $ for OEM gear oil..

Probably not. However, some years ago, a VW dealer tried to sting me on the issue of OEM fluid usage when I had a warranty claim with my then-new Golf GL.

I had used store brand fluids, saved my receipts and documented my DIY service. I eventually prevailed, but it required more effort than should have been necessary. And so this poor slug decided to play it safe with his new Wrangler, just in case.

Once bitten...

Do you like it better with just the track bar? I already have the bracket and my adjustable track bar can’t go short enough to center the rear axle. My axle is still about 1/2” off. I was thinking about removing it and just going with only the adjustable track bar.

P.S. What exhaust are you running? How do you like it?
So I'm gonna take it offroad in this configuration next weekend so I'll make the determination on weather or not I need to install the bracket again (I hope not, just don't like to add a stress point to the axle) As far as the exhaust its the Borla touring and I do like it but it can be annoying during cold start ups.
