Nice work Brian., I want to do this, can you send link to the part, and some details on how you wired it up. I’ll be using my aux 1 switch, as I have my lockers wired to aux 3 & 4. Thanks brother.
@Rangemaster

Also interested to hear about the parts used. Specifically the bracket. I have the warn kit but haven't had the chance to install.

Jeepless but still a fan.
After putting the floor in I did the front and rear diff fluids to flush out break in stuff. Synthetic 75w140 on the rear, 75w90 on the front. At 3900 miles the oil was as black/metallic tinged as anything that had been overdue on mainentence that I saw working in the dealer for 10 years. A nice bit of metal slime on the magnet too. The front was better. Will do it again at 10k then put it on a 10k interval.

These new axles really do produce a bunch of junk during break in. I remember doing 30/60/90k services on vehicles where the diff oil was slightly discolored but overall clean.

If your jeep is new, definitely worth cleaning that stuff out a few times as the axle wears in.

its very easy, this part fits right in that place. You will need to open up the slots a little on the relay but after that its pretty much straight up a hour or so to install. I bought a 30” #2 guage battery cable to extend to the battery terminal and hooked up one of the aux wires to the small terminal and the other terminal I made a small jumper to ground on the fender bolt right near the ground lug.

There's been some rubbage* on the cover, but nothing I can actually feel or hear. I hadn't noticed it until recently.

*I just made that word up.

Was just curious, because another member and myself had rubbing issues with the ss track bar and ARB cover. I've since gotten a Metalcloak front track bar, but was wondering about their cover. Thanks!

The ARB is getting hit from the same part of the bar, but harder because of the dipstick outcropping of the cover.
