Hoo boy, I remember that job too. I was <this> close to bunting to the aluminum 1/4" rivets that I had on hand, in lieu of using the steel rivets provided with the hood lock. I prevailed in the end, though.
Im usually not one to purchase a tool and take it back when Im done with it but I almost wanted to go get the pneumatic one I saw at Harbor Freight lol. Honestly the reason I didnt was the wife gave me nasty looks and told me thats not how I roll lol Needless to say they are on, done and the rivet gun will probably sit in my tool chest til it rusts away since this is the first time I have needed one in 50 years.

AEV JK Borah wheels arrived!!! FedEx sucks but looks like the wheels are packaged so well that even the worst looking box didnā€™t damage them:

Knowing that the JK version has rear camera figment issues so got it pre fit:

Also like others have saidā€¦the standard lug lock WILL NOT WORK with the Borah wheels.

Iā€™ve been using this one and it works great, just thought Iā€™d share.

YES, and you are using and and recommending the pick of the litter Tazer JL holder..

I've tried a few Tazer JL holders... all but one required use of Velcor or zip ties.. The one you link to is the pick of the littler. Installs using an existing screw. Fit is spot on with this holder Printed/offered by a fellow forum member and JL owner.

Send the pictures please !! Iā€™ve been trying to find a good drawer system for my 21ā€™ rubicon !!!
Its a good system. Very solid. Dead quiet (no rattles) and secure. Donā€™t care for the pull out table on the left as I will never use it and not sure why they have a gap at top of drawer but itā€™s still secure enough.

Thank you !!!! Iā€™ve been eying these since they released them last year, but there has been literally 0 reviews or pictures of them and I was nervous to buy them and have to deal with returning them.

Do you think that slide out table could handle being used as a sleeping platform? I was hoping to build a another platform to go over the seats when folded down to complete a sleeping platform, what are your thoughts ???

Only the left side slides out. The right is fixed. Itā€™s sturdy and could hold some weight. But at 320, I wouldnā€™t sit on it extended. It also bolts into the factory tie down holes. Itā€™s pretty cool.

Great Idea there. I used Two shop vices mounted on a Short piece of railroad tie. It actually worked great and held everything in line. Jeepers must be cutting edge innovators.....

Got my 4:88s done at gear shop on Wednesday, Stabbed RCVs at same time (might as well) I've had those axles for a long time waiting for the right time to do the gear swap.
Then Friday installed Synergy big tie rod, drag link and Bilstein stabilizer. This AM straightened steering wheel which really was off by just a twitch. Great solid feel and tracks straight as a die. Still want to put it on alignment rack Monday morn. Wife and I are doing the Ozarks for 4-5 days next weekend.

How TF do you get enough leverage to hit 250#? I did LCA skids at 190# and damn near blew a teste. I had to use my floor jack.
Floor jacks and bottle jacks are very handy for those of us that DYI. I have also used my Hi Lift jack for some unusual purposes (moving purch back on a triple axle trailer with 6 rolls of hay on it).
