Fresh Tires: Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner 255/70R17
Fully stock and they'll be great for now until I can save up for the lift.

Is that a V8? I want one in that color!

You can have any color you want: as long as it's black.
Today, I spent six hours watching a"factory trained technician" do the alignment. The spc light racing uca's were a bit too much to figure out I guess. I made him print the instructions and I read the important part to him. He still took way too bloody long.
I forgot that I pulled the hcf when I was removing the air box to install my lift a few days ago and remembered when the exhaust sounded better, my throttle relationship changed, and my mpg increased. I couldn't figure it out for a while, then it hit me. 100% recommend the hcf delete in a v8

I have spc uppers, new lowers, all new steering components these spindles are the last things up front to change. I have mentioned longer rods before but they don't manufacture them, I am guessing that by adding these longer spindles and loosening my coils and leveling the back should make the geometry a lot closer to specs.
Hopefully!!!!

Finally slapped on my CBI rear bumper!
So happy with how it turned out. Also got my spare wheel and tire mounted, thrown on the bumper, along with a couple 2 gallon rotopax.
Removed the stock rear bumper in just a few minutes. No surprises there.
Here's the CBI bumper on it's pallet
Had to go pick up my wheel/tire from the shop, so of course we used the official Outworld Tire hauler.
Had a bit of a tough time getting it to line up correctly, and it still a 1/4'' lower than I'd like, so we may go back and readjust, but overall im f'ing stoked!
I'll take some high quality pics of it later today, but I had to get some in the parking garage this morning.

With the new bumper - anyone done a back-up camera relocation?
Not sure where I want to put it. hmmmm.
Sliders and skidplates coming soon.

Looks great Ben! I'm mounting up my Wilco next week/weekend. Not quite as nice but should accomplish what I'm hoping for.

Nice! Definitely have to check out the pics. I’d offer to help, but I’m headed up to the mountain.

It's a V6, I didn't really need the V8 so shopped for a V6. I was open to a range of colors and didn't see many in Salsa Red, but it was my pick of the litter so I jumped on it when I found one!

Finally got around to installing my Skyjacker extended rear end links. One question for those more experienced, do y'all use any kind of thread locker on them? I know the large nut on the bottom is a nyloc nut but should I put some on the top thread/nut?
Also reinstalled my spoiler after doing a little painting to touch up along the top panel that was majorly sunbaked. Was dark by the time I got around to it but it's nothing special. Probably a 6/10 paint job but it looks 100 times better than before and I was extremely happy with how good the color matched the shadow mica which was my biggest concern. I would recommend automotive touchup paint for someone looking for a spray can color matched paint.

Swapped out the oem flasher with a led flasher relay and profile peak rear turn signal bulbs. [emoji106] much brighter than stock bulbs. Also like the fact that I have control over the turn signal clicks with a twist of the knob. (Fast to slow)

Just wondering... How much clearance do you have between the tire and rear hatch?

Quite a bit. I'll have less once I stuff some Jerry cans back there.
Keep in mind, in this picture I still have the spare underneath so I cannot insert the Wilco all the way into the hitch receiver. Some people have even drilled another hole to move it even closer to the rear bumper. If I can do that, I will. I want the Wilco as snug up against the rear bumper as I can get it.
Where about is the Flasher? still having failures on my turn signals. thanks

Finished my dual battery installation
I finally finished installing my second battery. I will have a quick write up on the procedure soon, and will include detailed build and photos in my "build thread" as soon as I get the photos uploaded.
