Finished setting up the rear storage area.

The brief was that it had to be easy to install and remove as it is only used when we are out camping. The rest of the time the space is used for dogs and grocery shopping.

I think what I am dealing with here is a liberal amount of red thread locker applied to that bolt. The other side came out easy peasy.,
I removed all of my front seat bolts to install my @Armorlite Kail flooring. All of the bolts had red loctite on them. I had visions of sheering the bolts, but was able to get them off with a ratchet. Definitely too much loctite in there.

got a little panicky last night cause it was so cold out and couldn’t latch but I heated up the garage higher than usual and was able to this morning thanks to the help on here as always!

my higher ceilings are finally paying off.
Today I’m going to treat the top with a spray from best top. I’ll post my thoughts.

Bumper showed up today. Just installed it on my jeep and added the Harbor Frieght Alex winch. I will say it was a PITA to get together. I had to get the bumper on first, the. Squeeze the winch through. It was a tight fit and ended up scratching the winch a bit but it’s small.

Tomorrow I have to wire the winch but otherwise all done.

Oh and the skid plate. I’ll do that tomorrow too.

I also had to modify the winch to get the wire to work with the grill. I ended up moving it to the side and I’ll need to add some silicon or something to keep water out.

Your Jeep looks awesome! What are your thoughts on the antirock? I thought about getting them front and back, a while ago, but ended up not because I thought it would be too loose on the road. My jeep is also my daily driver. However, a recent Litebrite video showed that they also had the same reservations, but ended up being pleasantly surprised in its on road composure. The option is now back on the table, but I'm still interested in hearing others thoughts. What say ye, buddy?

You have been influenced!!!

All jokes aside. They didn’t lose that much articulation.

I love the look. I haven’t had it long but otherwise I’m liking it. My only complaint or issue really, would be not being able to see the rope inside the winch as my winch is fairly large and doesn’t leave much of a gap if any at all. Could also be a good thing, should be well protected.

It wasn’t too bad to mount and I love the look. This is my second LoD, my first one being the destroyer and decided to try the signature this time. So far so good!

Yeah, only 2" less when lifting 1 wheel in a parking lot. On the trail, however, the Step Child was back to being fully into the bump stops.

What started my thinking of them, was the rear sway bar hitting the frame at full stuff. A bit of Curry research brought up the benefit of doing both the front and back, as they are designed to work in unison for a more balanced ride both on and off road. Seeing that recent video and the earlier one when the did the rear setup, was like looking in a mirror. Having the same interference and reservations... Plus, I wanna be cool too! :CWL:

I finally bought and installed the Sunrider top.

Love it so far. Will take it out to the desert tomorrow to see how it does.

Now to see if Bestop screws me on the rebate.
