Installed Quadratec 1.75 spacers. I like the look of the tire set out just slightly, I like my stock wheels, my 35s were still rubbing under load just slightly in the rear with my 1.5 Terraflex lift. So...spacers!

I like that look as well. Any change in driving feel?

Installed KC Cyclone rock lights in Amber. My primary use will be campsite ambient lighting. Will be doing a little more detailed write up, especially since I couldn’t really find too much online. Thanks for guidance from @rustyshakelford

I’m looking forward to your write up. I hope you can detail how you wired this. Will it go on when you unlock with the remote key fob

Got a little carried away with the ol' P-Touch machine and made a relay/fuse legend for the underside of my Voswitch power module lid...
I see your backup light label, what backup lights are you using? I'm looking at options now.

Cool my broke butt put together a Chinese knock off one instead. I been draining it every 400 miles and it's been collecting a ton of liquid. The way it's going I feel like I can't wait until 3k miles is this normal.

Got my Mopar lift on my new JLUR today. Since @Stormin’ Moorman decided to break his leg a friend came over to help. Looks great!

I know youre losing sleep over the color because you wanted Bikini so badly. The sting grey will eventually grow on you. Enjoy !

Yes and no, cooler temps and can quality have a great deal to do with it, saving $100 on a Chinese can is not something I would do, especially in my $57K Rubicon.

It was a beautiful day. Put the Sunrider for Hardtop back on and put my UPR Oil Catch Can on.

Hi Steve, educate me please. I’ve never seen an oil catch can. What’s it for? And don’t say “to catch oil” lol. Is this another filter?

Can you please measure the opening of the winch hole from end to end as well as the height? Thank you.

Quarantined - YUP! MOAR Jeep MODS - YUP!!

Did Synergy Sector Brace and ARB Twin Air install:

The Sector brace didn't help my Jeep much, but it clearly helped my Wife's. Hers had wandering and a dead spot. Our Jeep both started off really good and have the same hardware. It's odd that hers had steering affected. Without knowing too much, i'll guess that the steering box has some slop in it. I'm going to check the P/N for her steering box, as i heard there was a replacement. Also, might try that adjustment. I have done that on past Jeeps with success. The brace install was easy, the ARB needed a little love. Details in our build thread. Also, hit all the zerks with some of the green stuff!

I didn't get much help from the sector brace either. But after i tried that i had them put in the new steering box and that helped a lot. I think some jeeps need more help than others. I definitely recommend the steering box if all else fails

But that is what it does, catches Oil.

I'm going to do a very bad job of trying to explain this and there is a ton of positions in favor and opposed as it pertains to the usage of Oil Catch Cans. My personal opinion is that while I may not do the extreme angle off roading that is shown in this video, I would still want to have the protection from the residual Oil that currently goes through the air intake and burned by the engine (even if it is an acceptable level by the engineers).

Kevin and Britney did a video on the particular can I purchased -

While the jury is still out on the long term effectiveness of using a catch can is still out there, I think it can only improve engine longevity and health. I am planning on holding onto my Jeep for a long time, I want to do what I can to make sure that my engine stays healthy and running clean for years to come.

While I only have just over 4k miles on my Jeep and haven't taken it off roading yet (Trails closed from winter and doing my upgrades) I was actually surprised that I was able to see and feel oil in the hose on the Air Manifold side (but it was all the way through). I am interested to see how much oil collects and I prevent from going into the air intake and burning.

Hope this helps.

I agree. I'll guess that the 18's had more issues, the 19s started to see transition to a new box and maybe the 20s are fixed? I will be looking into the P/N next, to see if there's an option.

Yep!!! - This definitely helped the steering in my Jeep!! As mentioned in another thread - it didn't 100% fix, but It's MUCH better driving her now! :) Thank you @jlewissystem for installing for me :)

Installed a Pedal Commander. I really like it. Only have about 40 miles on it, but I like the adjustability. Even the "Eco Mode" feels better than stock. It always felt that someone was trying to push slightly my gas pedal up as I was pushing it down, don't have that feeling anymore. I was going to hide it behind the dash and use the phone bluetooth function, but I like just having the button there for quick access. I really want to try out the Eco -4 setting in the snow. I think it would be ideal for the slippery stuff where you want to limit throttle on take off.

Post up a shot of what it collects over a few thousand miles. I'm very curious. I think it might be worth it just to avoid the smoke screen at extreme angles.
