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.

Ouch... that's chipping right into the dipstick... I've seen others with the MC cover having the same issue. The Yeti is just too fat, but I don't mind the scuffing on the cover. I have about 3 layers of paint and primer on it & it looks like it's touched each one.

It doesn't hit during extreme flexing on either side, but does when the whole axle compresses at once.

I'm hoping the Metalcloak bar clears it. My ocd wouldn't allow non matching covers, so fingers crossed to not have to add to the aftermarket takeoff pile.

I removed the Wrangler Unlimited stickers. Things were getting too busy. Hair dryer on high and they come right off. Used some Goo Gone to clean it up, quick wash and some spray wax for good measure. The Sahara badge might be next.

Installed Road Armor fenders and fender liners. The liners were definitely a semi-custom fit, because I had to break out the RotoZip and bench grinder to get those f'ers in there. Also, I would be a starving mechanic. The shop quoted me 6 hours to install them, and it took me about double that to paint and install them :swear:

I bought a couple white rock lights similar to these on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Lights-Waterproof-Underglow-Offroad-Underbody/dp/B07VMNJSWX/ref=sr_1_6?crid=AX4DTW3F9C9B&dchild=1&keywords=ly8+4pods+led+rock+lights&qid=1606144462&sprefix=Ly8,automotive,257&sr=8-6

Then you tap into the factory dome light harness.

12v - yellow/brown stripe
Ground - black

I decided to add switches too, but not necessary. I did also add a fuze just in case.
i have these in amber. great little lights zero issues after a year.

That's funny. I just noticed yesterday that those sticker are not straight on my Jeep and was wondering how to remove them. Thanks for the tip!
