OCD level 10...its the small stuff that bother me... Finally covered the lower pinch seem with a Powercoat Metal trim piece. Eliminates the unfinished look at the bottom and hides all those small holes that were driving me crazy 🤪 also compliments the fender black trim 💯

Hats off to that nice wax job too. I can see your shelving in the garage.
That bad boy looks good!

Big Mods this time around :LOL:

Removed hard top and installed soft top on the other half's 80th a couple weeks ago. Installed some stickers on mine this past Monday. Made appointment for both to have PPF installed the beginning of April, ordered hood decal for Sloopy (the 80th AE), a topographic hood graphic and windshield chaser for mine from @pixeldecals.

Installed a Westin WJ2 full width winch bumper, skid plate, Rugged Ridge 12.5k winch. Also used a 500amp isolator controlled buy an AUX switch. I got 1/2 an inch droop on stock suspension. When my Rubicon suspension comes in I will put 3/4 spacers upfront to compensate for sag and rake.

Looks great.......... I did same style and location isolator but I didn’t like the hot /ground so close together and exposed, I’m way to clumsy. I know I’d short it out somehow....:facepalm:....... So I used Tesa tape and covered mine up.........✌

Ahhh man. I was considering doing this spring swap in the future.
Yeah, i was bummed after the swap. Now, this could be a ME issue. This is my first experience with triple-rate springs and 4.5 on a 3.5 lift....not that there's a ton of difference. I just couldnt get those fronts to sit right: i spun the top spring isolator every which-way and they seemed close, but never 100%. The front-end always felt "not as good as the MCs" when we had them in (both my wifes 2.0 and mine) We felt the same experience. When i swapped back to the MC springs - it felt good. The plus side is that i can now swap front springs in about an hour - lol.

If you're interested, i have those springs for pretty cheap - lol

Spent way too much money:
- Ordered new 17" rims with 37" KO2s
- New Rugged Ridge tailgate hinge and Teraflex spare tire mount
- Set appointment for Regearing to 5.13
- New ARB diff covers
- Tazer Lite to make sure everything runs properly after the upgrades

Enough to make me nervous telling my wife!! ;):whew:
Just a friendly heads up. The dipstick outcropping of the ARB covers will interfere with the Steersmarts front track bar and other chunky bars.

Here’s one from a Sahara that I found online.

NOTE: For anyone wondering, the two pictures are not of both of my clusters. The top one is of my cluster, with correct mileage. The bottom is a picture from the internet. I did not alter my mileage to something different as that is illegal. It is a photo comparing the differences between the two clusters, mainly the color scheme.

Do you have rk lower isolators, or were you using factory?

Ah. There is an orange/red distinction in the gauges themselves. The pics helped a lot. Before I was thinking “why not paint it like everyone else has done?” But now it’s clear. Inner, not outer. So that’d be a bit harder to paint!

Thanks, I never realized they were different. Thought I was an expert on all the model differences. You learn something new everyday. :)

I’ve done that too and it didn’t end well. :CWL:

In preparation of my coming trip, got the propane tank bracket attached to the Rock Slide Engineering spare tire mount and mount it all up. It's going to work!!
