It’s not so bad in the rabbit hole. You just need to change your lifestyle a little bit.
I mean ... Top Ramen noodles and Spam isn’t that bad when cooked properly..... 😁
The trick is to cube the Spam and mix it in with the noodles!

I ordered the 3 link rear......

Never say never but at this time I’m comfortable with the amount of lift and articulations I have right now. I can’t get any more travel without going to coil overs or 6 pks. The only reason I didn’t go with the 6pks, is I really like using the adjustability of the resi dsc’s. Don’t want to go to 40s because I want to do it right and do tons with them. So for now, I feel the only thing I’m missing out on is the more freedom of articulation.
Nice! That hybrid 3-link is the one that I see in my future. But I'm forcing myself to wait until further down the road, when I make the leap into a set of 60's geared with 5.13's to properly roll on 40's. That plan is why I still haven't addressed the rear pinch seam. Even with 38's, I need to remove more than just the lower back corner. The whole back half of the arch needs to be opened up, which isn't a big deal. It's modifying the AAL rear liners and their bracketry, in neat fashion, to work with the new opening that is the tricky part.

You do see a Canadian maple leaf. My late father was Canadian and I always put a maple leaf on my cars (Jeep!) in memory of him. I blame him for my love of cars, baseball, and wine :).
Was your dad an Acadian? Cause the blue white and red is also the colors of the Acadian flag...(only missing the
yellow star)....

And spam?! Looky here, someone's living high on the hog! :CWL:

And yeah, it's nice down here in the rabbits hole. Especially with Moto's new hotel, The Hares Lodge and Tavern. Really swanky digs!

Finished up my winch delete plate. Still have to add the fogs and flood lights to the bumper but need to make some cuts first. After that send to powder coat.

Matt,
The instructions say to put the bottom in first with the hood brakets. It's easier to do the top first because of the trim clip holding in the rubber strip. They work fantastic!!

G.
Thanks for the tip, Gary! Should be here Monday, so perfect timing. Matt

I’ve seen people do it using some rubber hose material from the Home Depot. I’m sure there’s someone here who can help you better than I can with what exactly to use. But yeah, agree on the offset and can’t wait to get my methods on!
Thanks for your input on this spare tire mounting issue. I will keep asking around and searching the net till I find a solution. Now its time to plan another Jeep trip!!

Thank you !! That’s exactly what I am shopping for and they appear to be easy to modify as well. Now to get all the neighborhood kids over to take the spare off the mount- Ha!
Lol. No need to remove spare. Measure length needed, add about 1/4” to your measurement and squeeze it in. Pop inside panel off tailgate. You will see the nub poking through, grab with a pair of pliers and pull until snaps in place. If you really want to give yourself a little more room, just loosen spare, don’t remove.
