More tedious boring stuff. Debadged and rebadged the driver side Jeep logo to fix the crookedness from factory, and spacing with BOH badges. Then added the first BOH badges to the passenger side. Two of them from Arkansas are still backordered. Seems simple, but I was dreading it. Took 2-3 hours per side of the Jeep. I did the passenger side a few days ago.

Bent this sway bar link at Jeep Jamboree in N AL a couple weeks ago. Hit the rock so hard it also deformed the frame mount. So, I thought now was a good time to install a Hellwig rear sway bar and Rusty's Sway Bar Double Sheer Mount. And it's done!

I haven’t seen the Rusty’s sway reinforcement. Looks like it still relies on that weak split OEM mount on the inside, I hope it’s as strong as the Metalcloak reinforcement.

Today I corrected an OEM issue that I uncovered on 10/26/23.

When I removed the tailgate JEEP plastic emblems I found two locating holes. It surprised me as these days most manufacturers use a template to correctly place emblems with no pins needed.

So, I had some holes to cover up:

I found some emblems online that I liked and they finally got here. I installed them this morning:

I have the MC reinforcement kit, super easy install and has been proven to work so far for me

Swapped out the AALabs Fender Chop kit, and went with @Metalcloak.

Couldn't be anymore impressed with the quality. For my side amber light, it couldn't reach my Mojave fenders in width, so I just simply put a bolt there for more stability. ?

Your mirrors reminded me of somebody
I extended the passenger side so I could see it through the soft door window.

Installed a Truckslide. Wanted to try something different than the bedslide or cargoglide and this company did not disappoint. Super stout with a 1200 lbs capacity. Also made in America with lifetime warranty.

Also installed the JCR rear molle rack. I was on the fence about it for several months due to worry of it hitting the rear passenger heads but it sits slightly forward with plenty of clearance.
