Can you lean the hood all the way back without hitting the lights or bracket?

What parts did you end up replacing?

Everything but the steering box ( On back order cuz it's junk apparently). Fusion 2.5, sector brace, track bar, rebuilt control arms( they were good), fish plated axle side T bar bracket cuz the hole was oblong, and lastly the stabilizer.

Went to Discount Tire for a great deal on new 265/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires. I do not have a lift and for now wanted to keep the stock rims. Plus, I wanted to try to continue to get decent gas mileage. Therefore this tire size worked for me and my budget. What do you all think? Pics below!

Okay, this technically wasn’t done to the Jeep so feel free to delete this, but this is a good thread for exposure and this might be useful to a lot of people. I just finished a diesel heater in a case build. The Jeepiness comes from the obvious use of these for mounted RTT heating, but also my spin on this is to use RotoPax for the heaters fuel tank. For my Ecodiesel brethren, you can carry a single tank for both vehicle fuel and heater fuel and never have to mess with pouring diesel, spilling it the truck, etc. This works really well. I have yet to list the parts on the thread but I will when I have the time to put it together.

Thank you for the shout out and thank you for your patronage! Those WildPeaks look great!

You just chop up the snorkel and then put a hole in the existing Mojave cowl?

I installed a Rugged Ridge Voyager soft top this weekend. Not everyone's cup o tea but I love the utilitarian look of it. The installation was a major pain though!! These companies must hire elementary school kids to write the installation instructions. I can fully understand why there are so many negative reviews in regards to the installation. But I now how to do it if anyone needs pointers.

Rugged Ridge makes some good products. I'm glad they came out with a soft top option. What's the weight of the soft top? Would really like one for those summer months. First impressions?

I would estimate the weight at around 30 pounds. I am really happy with the top. I love the look of it and the front section flip back option is easy enough to use. I like the fact the top lays flat in the back position and not ramped up in the air like a sail like the other tops I've seen. I also like that I can remove the back window and corner panels and leave the roof in place or fold the back section forward and flip the front over that for a roof off look. Several different options. My negative comments are all around the installation. I am a very competent mechanic and installer of anything. The instructions just suck. They use drawn illustrations that don't look like or reference anything on the truck. They should use actual pictures. I installed it by myself and would highly recommend getting someone to help. Just to have a hand holding things in place while you stretch the back panels into place. If you're patient and take your time it will turn out fine and you'll be very happy with it.

Ugh, they sent me two of the same bracket, would have been nice to have right and left, to swing them in from the rear of the vehicle towards the dash.

I blue loctited the coarse thread screws, and sent them home. Everything clears, but its not super nice. Should serve its purpose though, lol
