...but pretty much silent at cruise.

Is there ANY drone at all. I learned after changing the exhaust on my Tundra, that drone leads to insanity. :)

Is that the Smittybilt bumper? Is so, I'd also have to relocate the tow plugs.

I added some Teraflex Alpine adjustable lower control arms. After installing the lift, there was a little bit of wander and a little bit of a dead spot in the wheel when it was straight. This has helped.

Once it's at cruise I don't notice it much, but it is there. I'd say around 3,000 RPM it's the most noticeable. Taking a 7 hour road trip this weekend with a lot of freeway so I'll have a bit better idea if it's annoying. To answer your question, yes it has some.

Yes that's a smittybilt XRC. So far I really like it. The integrated tow hitch is nice and it actually mounts to four point on the frame vs the two on the stock trailer hitch so it's not going anywhere. Ace has a rear bumper with a neat cutout where the trailer plug is integrated into the bumper.

I installed a Diabolical Slipstream system. I like the product a lot, however, I would have liked some JL dedicated instructions. I received instructions for a JK, a supplemental sheet for the JL subwoofer system, and used a handful of different install videos from their website. It would only take a day to go through and take pictures of JL relevant parts and provide instructions as such. Yes, together, they all got the job done... but there is a lot of room for improvement. At least I’m ready for a topless summer.:rock:

It looks great. I'm interested but can you still fit the freedom panels and the bag under the slipstream cover? I remove my panels often and put them in the back. It's a tight fit so I'm curious if they will still fit.

I’m not sure. Someone else may be able to chime in faster, but I can try in the next couple days and let you know.

Since changing my key fob to the AJT Designs holder, it's been an inconvenience to pop the key out of the plastic cover to lock the center console. Bought and put the Tuffy Center Console Lock Box and Bartact Center Console Cover on.

Lock box was not as difficult as people made it out to be, just put it together before you install and you'll be fine. Took me ~10 min to put it together. I did lose the ability to have my Vehicle OCD organizer though, but I would rather have a lock box for when I have my doors off.

I have the same set up In my Rubicon. I’ve been thinking about getting the combination lock ,think it’s around $25.
