These are really good. I just got their new air chuck too for my Power Tank gauge.
I have found that most of my air chucks will not lock onto it well. It is almost like there is not enough length of the air in threads.

Yup. The fast flow air chuck from Power Tank will not work on the Apex valves. I had to request the universal regular one. But I am guessing now that Apex released their own, it should work perfect with fitment and speed for their own valves. I have it but have not tested it yet.

Installed my LOD destroyers today. These things are solid.
Besides dropping a bracket on my face, the install was straight forward šŸ˜‚. No power tools necessary.
(I think hubby was a little disappointed that I didnā€™t need his help.)

Those are my favorite looking sliders/steps. They look really clean on that 392.

I finished up installing the bumper today, all that is left now is to wire the winch up to the battery.
My spare tire I ordered came in so I got that mounted up!
I also put in a Weathertech cargo mat
Time to get back to work šŸ˜… šŸ˜ šŸ’°

2022 Jeep Rubicon 4xe
As part of a blue delete on Sarge green 4xe, I decided to replace instead of spray paint the front tow hooks on my OEM steel bumper. Admittedly, I am an amateur but what a PIA job. You literally have to disassemble nearly the entire bumper to get them out. Fog lights come out, ends come off, dozens of screws and bolts. And then you have to tear off these metal retention clips from each tow hook bolt to get them out! Insane 6 hours in a 100 degree garage!

Looks way better but wonā€™t be doing that again!! Ha! Ha!

Ya. I had to tear out my fogs for my steel bumper. It sucks. In saying that, there is at least one person in here that painted their hooks by just masking off around them.

Had to add a limiting strap. Running long travel shocks with 3.5ā€ springs the rear springs fall out when both rear wheels are off the ground. The front is okā€¦..

I didnā€™t want to lose 3ā€ of articulation by putting the straps at each wheel, so I decided to put one in the center. Having the RK truss made for a perfect spot. Welded a bushing in one the holes on the truss and used a threaded hole in the frame. I think the hole is for the right side drive Jeepā€™s fuel tank since it mirrors the bolt holding my fuel tankā€¦ā€¦..

I was worried that it might lean to one side since I wasnā€™t able to attach it directly in the middle, but as you can see here itā€™s nice and level and solid , no movementā€¦..

And you can tell it works because the springs arenā€™t laying on the garage floor.šŸ¤£
