New Grille from Distinction Applied. Trim is matte carbon fiber. Weather kept changing so the before & after pics look very different.

Parking brake/shield mounts between axle flange and axle shaft.
I hated having to drain it again a week after I changed it but it let me inspect diff gears.

Thoughts on running it through a paint strainer filter and reusing? I have done that in the past...I have these paper filters with mesh in the bottom...honestly don't know where I got them years ago but I must have ordered 500 and used them for years. If I dump the diff early I will filter it and put back in assuming still honey colored...

Installed a set of Oracle Oculus Bi-LED lights this afternoon. Anxiously awaiting sunset this evening so I can properly aim them and do a road test. Original plan was to stick with the halogens, so the bulb heat would help with melting snow build up. But a recent drive through lake effect snow near Cleveland determined that was just wishful thinking. Might as well enjoy quality light the rest of the year if the halogens are going to freeze up anyway.

You're gonna love these! Looks great in your Jeep

Size looks perfect.

Yes , thank you. They are the XL/Long.

So far they have done their job. I wish everyone would use atleast some type of guards. Every rock chip I get is from another vehicle changing lanes.

RokBlokz are expensive, but no other brand compairs. I've had them on several vehicles... perfect look and fit on each one.

I installed my LED rear bumper lights.

So far I really like them !

I purchased the plug-n-play wiring harness. (Tail light version). It made installing a breeze. The scariest part of the install, was pulling out the tail light for the first time.

I like the Oracle lights, but I wish they offered a complete light(no reflector) or wish they would offer a smoked reflector. I hate the red reflector lol.

I'm guessing it has to do with DOT laws for "road" use vehicles.

Atleast it's small and well done for what it is.

@ORACLElights
Maybe an "OFFROAD " version ?

The replacement lights for the wrangler are a complete light for reflector replacement.So they at least threw the DOT caution to the wind on those... They could do it for us too!

DOT was just a guess, nothing to back it up.

It does look like 5 or so extra LEDs could have been added.

Hmm I wonder why.
Initially that doesn't make sense. I guess you could put some smoke vinyl or similar product over the reflector ?

@ORACLElights
Can you weight in on this ?
Why does the Gladiator maintain the red reflector and the Wrangler version does not ?

I absolutely would’ve reused the week old diff fluid if I had a good way to get it back into the axle

You have definitely made that bad boy yours, in a good way.
I like the front bumper, it's full width, but still high clearance.

Yea, that makes sense...I get head down thinking of my process and forget there are materials I use and assume everyone has!

I have a funnel like this one but mine has a screw on lid...another one of those things I have had for years and don't remember where I got it:
Amazon Funnel Thing

I go from the drain pan that I keep clean and pour into my funnel thing with the mesh funnel in between...

Thanks. All she needs now is a vacation to AMW 4x4. Lol
