Oh yeah got the @Metalcloak rocker flip kit installed. Not sure if I want to run up or down yet

@Sw00per it won’t work with the factory skid unless you do some modifications. Factory brackets won’t line up once the MC is mounted up. But you can adjust and still mount the front shock reservoirs where they are.

Spent $75 on a clearlidz to try it out

bought a NIB dead pedal for $20.

Overall happy with my sub-$100 investment.

$75?!?

$75?!?

yea. Guy didn’t have the bolts (clearlidz wants $80 for the bolts. M8x1.25 100mm work just fine).

I’m not sure what I’d pay for the clearlidz, but it ain’t $1400.

A lot going on the last few days, but the highlight for me was finishing up the lights :

- Changed all the halogens out to LED bulbs. Beamtech and Alla. - $100
- Added the Oracle Pre Runner lights to the grill - $40
- Installed Harbor Freight Roadshock Edge 5400 Lumen - 4 LED Spot/Floods to A Pillars - $210
- Today added - Harbor Freight Roadshock Edge 7500 Lumen - 6 LED Spot/Floods to the Bumper Bar - $320

- Hooked it all up with a VoSwitch JL800 and custom wired it up myself. $270 + $70 for wire.

Extremely happy with how it all turned out. There were a couple gotchas that I worked around for both mounting and wiring, but the end result was totally worth it for me. The lights and switching turned out top notch IMO, and the cost was extremely reasonable for what I ended up with. Around $1k took the stock halogen gladiator from a weakly barely drivable turd to a freaking BEAST. With the three low/flood and high/spot combos - visibility is beyond what I expected, and the side visibility with the RoadShock Edge's is fantastic.

My wife says it's too over the top, but secretly, I think she loves it. LOL

Running Lights

Full Blast

VoSwitch A Pillar Controller

Oh...almost forgot the Baja Designs Squadron Sport flood/spot combo that Summit put into the bumper to replace the halogen fogs when I had the bumper put on. 3162 Lumens, and they are awesome too. I guess that puts me up over the $1k mark by a couple hundred though..... LOL

If you're out in the woods at night. Someone may think it's a UFO.

Haha!! Maybe all the UFO sightings as of late are actually just jeeps out in the woods...... :D :D

Got some work done today.

Apex AutoLynx installed

locked down

Extended on flat ground

Rugged Ridge sill guards

Flag stickers

Still working on the spinning frame nut for my aftermarket transfer case skid.

And I fixed the washing machine. (First priority)

 

[Dawgfan89]

Lubed the brake components, new bilstein steering stabilizer, adjusted parking brake cable, wash and wax.

Have you noticed any improvement with the Bilstein steering stabilizer? I assume you replaced the stock mopar one? I have been thinking about doing this upgrade.

I replaced the upgraded mopar fox stabilizer. It works well so far. I hope it lasts, that's all.
