Well I almost did something really stupid. I almost traded my 4R for a 2 door Rubicon. Jeeps have become so stupidly expensive. Instead I went back to Discount Tire to have my AT3’s rebalanced for the 5th time. This time they offered road force. It seems to have done the trick.
 
Traded my '16 in for a '22 a week ago.. so waiting for my new ladder to come so I can work around it.
Bought new yakima jaylow kayak hooks... just had regular hooks but needed something I could lay down when not in use. Received my over lay emblems yesterday need to do them depending on weather
 
Got my Method 305's and BFG T/A KO2's put on the other day.

Next is an OME 2-3" lift kit, then a dual swing rear bumper (not sure which yet); a few minor internal mods on the way too, but I don't want to spoil any surprises :)

What does that switch actually do?

makes it ride like a boat. its fantastic. any crappy road you hate going on, hit the switch and half of the crap you feel is gone. offroad, its a huge upgrade and allows the suspension to independently articulate at speed. Remember, this is allowing the sway bars to move, so you need to keep that in mind so you dont roll it lol.

I think for the money and ease of installation, its a top mod for KDSS guys that wheel in higher speed areas.
 
Interesting. Send me the link to everything you have on it. I'd love to turn my KDSS off.......

Gotta hit up dr.KDSS on instagram. My buddy got it for me for Christmas cuz he knew I wanted it badly. I dunno if there is another way. He’s also on this forum with a long travel white 4Runner on 35s
 
I chose a ladder to use with my Eezi Awn roof rack. The Rhino Rack folding ladder.

Technically not compatible with the Eezi Awn but after a small modification to the ladder mounts, it's perfect. I had to drill a 1/4" hole in each mount in the location that corresponds to where the Eezi Awn rail track is. I picked up a couple of m6 bolts and washers and done. I used wing nuts to be able to loosen the mounts to slide to any part of the rack front to back for loading and climbing in different areas.

I like the ladder because its light weight. 12lbs. It folds in half so it's easy to store. I've never been fond of the typical rear hatch ladders. It appears to be really well made too. Sturdy.

Installed Meso Customs map/dome lights, Arc LED in the rear lift gate, and 2x new Diode Dynamics SS5 Pro lights behind the front grill.

Deactivates KDSS without having to be in 4lo. Acts kinda like a pseudo electronic sway bar disconnect. Great on washboard and corrugated roads

By far the best mod I've done so far. I even use it for silly things like hitting rough railroad crossings that aren't perpendicular to my direction of travel :biggrin1:
 
Spent Saturday throwing on the TSO bumper with high clearance sides and Smittybilt X2O 10k winch with synthetic rope. I feel I cut the sides a bit too high but honestly, it's on, it'll do the job.

Property cleanup

We moved to a 10 acre setup just over a year ago. Previous owners stashed junk all over the property. We are slowly getting things cleaned up. Had to put her to work.

I installed some OEM Predator Steps and did some cutting of my OG 5th Gen Rockers to fit my 2010 Limited. Am pretty satisfied with the "Flush" look that it achieved. Pay no attention to the dirt and mud on the rig, I had just gotten back from running some fire roads on the Oregon Coast but needed to clean the rockers so I could get tape to stick to it for marking my cutting lines.

I modified the process that [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] used in his install thread and it worked near perfectly.
