For now, nothing. Honestly not sure if I actually did or not - wrenched on the driver's side for ages and finally got some bangs and was able to turn it about 45 degrees. It didn't fall out or spin free but not drop though, so it could be I cleared the threadlocker in that specific, small area. For now, I'm just going to watch it and ensure it doesn't fall out or freeball. If it gets worse, that involves pulling carpet and hole sawing through the body to get to the captive nut 👁 👄 👁
Exactly why I am hesitant with my top choices that require body bolt removal/install.

I’d Rather Talk Jeep’s!
I’ve been working on my audio and finally got my Stinger Heigh10 head unit installed (albeit a few problems such as heated seats, heated steering wheel, and blind side cameras not working). Looks great though and I’m loving the EQ settings! I’m not looking forward to removing it to diagnose my problems though. 😔

I finally decided to cut off all the RCA ends that I’m not using to make more space. After adjusting the wiring several times I was barely able to get it in.

My workstation to assemble it all…

Total install time currently is probably right around 7 hours (including removing and reinstalling trim pieces, etc). I’m guessing another two hours to pull it out again, fix my wiring, reinstall it, and zip tie a bunch of wires under my steering column.
So good news…I spoke with Stinger tech and they explained it’s not my wiring, but a couple settings I need to change in the Heigh10.

Finally did the mod I've been wanting to for over two years today - installed LoD Destroyer steps. Huge thanks to Mike @Headbarcode for his help and answering all my questions. They look fantastic on, I'm not looking forward to drilling the extra holes for the rear brackets but other than that I'm a pretty happy customer.

Drivers side on after I loosened or broke the body bolt 😭

Passenger side on after I notched the factory skid plate to allow room for the bolt to go in straight and hit the flag nut. I swear this one just wanted to keep punking me by turning like it was threading and then falling out.

Glam shot in the driveway after cleanup. I also gave her a wash today to free any road salt from getting trapped.

Your Jeep looks awesome, Zach! And now I see where you got your username. :rock:

Not exactly just today, but over the past couple weeks I've done the following TO my Jeep.

Teraflex 2.5" puck lift with the 4xE brake cable extensions, also from Teraflex
Metalcloak adjustable LCA
Teraflex Nomad wheels with BFG KO2 315/70R17

This weekend I plan on doing the following WITH my Jeep:

Head out to Sand Hollow and run a trail or two that I ran bone stock and struggled on to get a good indication of what the lift and tires actually helped accomplished.

Added tye dye valved stem caps along with a tye dye steering cover to the wife's Jeep. You'd think she was a hippie lol. But just like her personality, her Jeep is brightly colored. She loves it so much.

That does dang good! What are your thoughts so far?
Thanks. First impressions are good. Not sure about durability yet. I'm taking it out on a road trip tomorrow. I did jump on top to see how things are, and it held very well.

It's very low profile which I really like, and it comes with a little wind fairing. I'm interested to see how well the wind fairing will work considering how small it is. You can barely even see it.

I’m very interested to see the vibrant Jeep in its entirety.
