not sure why it says "with adhesive tape"
there's no tape involved
On the mounting bracket with the threaded studs there is to stick to the metal to hold it in place but it doesnt work. I used duct tape to hold it

Been hearing a noise on my front somewhere. Figured it was my JKS quick discounts, so I pulled them, lubed and re-tightened them. Huge PITA since I had a hard time tightening the bolt using a skinny screw driver. I keep bending the screw drivers.

What do you all use to tighten those stud bolts?

Spent this afternoon installing the Teraflex 1.5” spacer lift and new wheels and tires. This is the first work that I’ve ever done on a vehicle besides an oil change or changing a flat. I have to say it went pretty smoothly except that my torque wrench didn’t seem to be working. I’m psyched about how it turned out.
My whole body is sore even though I work out all the time. Took about five hours.
Thanks to @rzitup for the wheel/tire inspiration.

Ill have to look into that. I had a cheap set that I used and they just snapped when I went to tighten them. Just curious, what brand punches do you have?

Lol, very nice. I’m sure they are a nice set. I’ll have to look around and pick up a better set then what I have.
