Did my Genesis Dual Battery install today. The kit itself is great and everything fit and works perfectly.

Absolutely none of my accessory wires reached properly. It was sad. Even had to pull my winch solenoid and direct connect. Started to get dark on me so I decided to clean them up later.

Posting my pic of shame as motivation for said cleanup :CWL: It's disgusting....

Ok, more better. Made a new bracket for the solenoid and found a good spot for it. Still have one 6ga cable I need to wait on connectors for then done....

Went on easy. We didn’t take top off. Didn’t eat yet and going to look at jet boats tomorrow so want to get to bed somewhat early.
Everything works and lined up. I highly suggest watching you tube install videos of it along with their install video. Instructions are worthless but watching how people install it differently based on thier situation gave us some nice ideas for our install.

I’m a fan of your wheels. May end up with a similar set some day.

Today I finally got around to installing a new Warn Zeon Premium winch with a Rusty’s Winch plate. Other than the reinstallation of the nuts for the inboard bumper mounting bolts, the installation was a cinch.

BTW, if you use this winch plate, plan on using both deep and shallow 18mm sockets. You’ll also need perhaps two 3in and one 8in extension to get those nuts back on. You’ll also do well to tape the bolt so it stays in the socket for mounting. I found getting the nuts started went really fast when doing that. Some masking tape does the trick just fine..

Up next will be a 2.5” lift and either 35s or 37s. I still haven’t decided on tire size or the lift kit but I’m looking at Rock Krawlers XFactor lift or Clayton Offroads Overland kit. The decision on tires will probably be based on whether or not I’m interested in regearing.

Looks awesome! And because I'm such an enabler, I gotta mention how awesome the new Borla touring climber cat-back has been. Sounds awesome, while also cleaning up the rear.

Added the AFE axle back exhaust and I think I’m regretting it. It’s too loud for my liking. :facepalm:

I just wanted a little more sound, without sounding like a fast and the furious reject. The Borla touring climber nailed it! Just enough of a bass growl to know it's there, and zero drone at any rpm or cruise speed. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting just a touch more sound than stock.

Very nice. Did you go with the Fox 2.0 shock? Did you get a true 2.5 of lift?
Thanks
No I went with the Falcon 3.3 shocks and am loving playing with the different setting. The lift is @Clayton Off Road 2.5 + overland lift so I got just a little over 2.5.

Would you mind taking a straight on photo? I have the same bumper and looking to do similar light setup.
Here you go. I got the lights on Amazon. Very, very bright. Ordering security bolts for them.

The weather finally settled down so I installed my MagnaFlow axle back system. After removing and installing the OEM and 3 different Borla systems 5 times, it was a piece of cake. The tips do sit against the bottom of the bumper so I will likely wedge a small piece of rubber between them to prevent ratting. Thanks again to @TOL JEEPER for taking the time to create multiple videos which helped me decide on the MagnaFlow.

I also finalized the installation of my hi-lift jack and accessories onto my upper shelf from Texas Metal Works.

I did a test fit and test jacking using a 3/4" shackle and the DLA adapter from JeepsNeeds. This setup works like a dream and am very happy that I went this way. The adapter stores in the same position on the jack. Great stuff!
