I've done a couple things in the past 24 hrs.

I installed a 7 pin connector on my compressor so that I don't have to pop my hood everytime I want to air back up:

And I installed my new custom transfer case shifter knob (adapter from Speed Dawg) today:

I might just have to re-name Claymore to something else...

ARSENAL

or

BOMB SQUAD

perhaps!
How about 'EOD'?

I finally got around to installing Proximity entry to my Sport S 2021 after having the parts sit around for over a month. Cut my ring finger in the process taking off the trim.

Installed the Front Runner Extreme 1/2 Rack after debating between it and the Maximus for a while. Front Runner accessories and platform orientation sold me. And needed something that works with my Sunrider.
The install was smooth and easy with everything lining up well. In hindsight, I would have added thicker foam on top around the holes because the spacers are tall enough to not compress the foam that comes with the kit.
The only modification needed was removing the impressively crooked ‘Front Runner’ stickers 😑 .

This is a great idea. Did you use an adaptor that is removable or permanently wire it this way?

Not to be a hater because I like the rack but did they install that logo decal that crooked from the factory?

It happens. The logos on my Bestop Sunrider for Hard Top were crooked also. But I had planned to remove those anyway, and I did.

My custom plates came in this week so I installed a DV8 flip up license plate holder.

Pros:
  • It flips all the way up out of the way.
  • The mechanism is stiff to not rattle or change position but easy enough to move without delay.
  • Enough room for my Factor 55 Flatlink
Cons:
  • No where near wide enough for the standard Warn fairlead. I mean come on, at least mention it somewhere if your (should be universal) product is not designed with anyone else’s products in mind. Adding compatibility for wider fairleads is a simple design change. Do it.
  • Use of split washers instead of lock nuts. Spend the extra $0.23 on the kit to make it feel like you care
This thing is very functional and will do its job just fine but having to hammer and bend it to work takes all the joy out of an aftermarket accessory such as this. Frankly, it lowers my desire to consider other products from the brand.

I'm considering this leveling kit myself for my Sport S. I've installed the Rubicon fenders and running 305 tires on 17" rims.

Can you tell me if you did it yourself? Did you need a new track bar to correct the geometry? New lower control arms for caster? Any issues after the install?

I also want to get the Falcon shocks

You can handle it. I’ve done my suspension twice and my mums jku lift. The leveling pucks are easy

I installed the dynatrac 2” lift on my JLU as well as previous installed rubicon shocks and springs. This is my first jeep and i was nervous. Once you get going you realize its not very hard, just take your time, do one side at a time, and pucks are much easier. I got a 3 ton floor jack from harbor freight, 2 6 ton jack stands and some sockets and wrenches and it wasnt bad at all. Rubicon shocks and springs were simple. there are a lot of great videos and write ups in the forum to learn and build confidence

I think it is kick ass. Not for me, but I can appreciate it.

So after a long wait. 12 weeks late arrival of my Ace Engineering bumper, I installed it. The bumper the winch, plumbed the on board air and two set of lights. The bumper and winch install was pretty easy, For the most part. Had to get the grinder out for a little notch in the winch plate and had to use the grinder on the inside lower ears of the the bumper bracket. Other than that. It went smooth. Ever notice that a grinder is never in the "Tools needed" part of the instructions. Well if you even get instructions.

I was able to wire the DRL to the halo in the fog lights and wired the turn signals to the halo in the fog lights also. While I was at it also did some adjustments to the front inner fender liners. The wind was terrible yesterday and blew my wire connectors and cable ties all over the driveway. Picked that stuff up multiple times.

The on board air is plumbed under that aluminum cap below the drivers headlight.

You have no idea how much of a pain it was to get the cap so that it was tight and the lettering was straight.
