Install would be easy for most any guy or gal. No special tools or skills needed. Screwdriver's needed, that is it...

Install involves removing 14 screws.... that is easy to do ...but it takes a few minutes.

It takes about 15 minutes total to pull the tail light, swap out the panel and then reinstall the tail light.

thank you, sir! I got a bit antsy when the lights arrived in a day and installed them right away forgetting the inserts were still on their way. I'll tackle it this weekend!

I had my lights in for a couple of weeks before I ordered the panels. You should be fine.

Easiest way to change the aux battery is pulling the inner fender liner. You won’t have to disconnect the main harness and risk breaking or bending a pin which won’t be covered by the warranty. There is a post on the correct way to remove the aux.
Is that the easiest approach for all engines? I was under the impression that with the diesel you remove the main, undo some bolts that the main was covering, then lift the alt out.

Installed the Mopar running boards per my wife's request.
I'll put the Rubicon rock sliders back on when off-roading.

Nice looking JL.. She is going to love those running boards.

Have you considered installing @Diode Dynamics clear or smoked front side markers. Either one would add to the look lets say. The factory amber color side marker is ahhh...

The DD sidemarkers are top notch, easy easy to install and under $100.

A day of small adjustments. After chalk test to zero in on the proper pressure, I used my Taser lite to set the tire size and tpms settings to match my new Micky Thompsons. And installed the 'performance' wipers from Mopar....Just in time for the rain to push in from California.
Have you had a chance to use the wipers? Was looking at ordering a set. I would think with the design it would work much better, especially at speed.

Not all today but over the last week from all the Christmas goodies Santa brought.

Did an axle swap from the sport axles to rubi 44's and lockers. Artec front and rear truss and FAD skid. Advantek diff covers front and rear. RCV axle shafts in the front, Dana Chromoly Axle shafts in the rear. Reid knuckles with dynatrac ball joints. Yukon 5.13 gears. 37" KO2's. ARB twin compressor on the M.O.R.E. cargo mount.

The guys at Unlimited Offroad hooked me up with an incredible deal after getting scammed. Cant recommend them enough.

Now its time to start focusing on some armor underneath then replacing the driveshafts and those RC side steps.

I did. Driving in intermittent rain yesterday, I used them several times to clear dirty road spray from the cars in front of me. Was surprized by how quickly it cleared it - one cycle and it was crystal clear - but I also like the fact that it doesn't obscure you vision at all like the spray from the nozles do. Never really thought about it as a big deal, but it's a very noticable difference in use.

Did a lot of research and held a pair of Maxtrax. Decided to go with a set of ActionTrax, which arrived today.
Excited to start using these.

Initial impressions - very stout, love the serrated edge, and the hand holds are large and comfortable. Atleast on first impressions Im glad I picked them over Maxtrax. No dig at Maxtrax, I'm sure they would be great as well.
