I get my redline kit sometime today...two 1/2 weeks late too. How do you like it?
Glad I did it. Smooth lift with no effort. Appreciate the customer service too. Mine was delivered in a broken mailing tube. When I discovered I was missing parts, they shipped the replacements out the same day I emailed them.

How was installation on those JCR bed molle panels? Did you have to drill into the bed?
Only needed to drill the hole in the rail end if you want (I did). No drilling into the body needed. That's what turned me on to them.

They use the bolts from the trail rails and since they push the rails out a frraction of an inch, you need to drill the hole a little wider on the end near the tailgate. If you don't have the rails, they include the bolts you need. For a first-timer, I thought the installation was simple. I followed the videos on the site. They even included the things you need to bolt on a hi-lift jack as part of the package.

I replaced my n-Fab nerf bars w/ steps today.
The originals were rusting at the welds on the two brackets that bolt to the pinch weld. I was disappointed, to say the least. The welds on the tubes looked fine.
I received the replacements, and sprayed those welds with cold galvanizing spray, and black rust-preventive paint over that, so we'll see if these hold up.

About $2300 not including travel and hotel costs as I had mine done out of state.
Im in Louisiana and so far it seems I will be driving out of State as well. My search for a competent re-gear shop seems to constantly send me 4-5 hours over to Tx. Not near as far as you had to travel but still. I have gone to multiple places here in CenLa asking for a reference and no one seems to be able to provide any info.


Search continues.....or Ill be heading to Dallas as of right now.

I had several shops in my area but they would not install Dana Spicer gears, not return calls, or I was not comfortable with their installer.

@chevymitchell on the Wrangler forums made a series of videos on how to properly install gears and was so detailed in the videos explaining all the steps in a way that an inexperienced person could easily understand that I decided to reach out and have him regear mine.

Just ordered the same hitch. How did it go for you? Any hiccups? Thanks.


Its straight forward.
Four nuts on back of bumper. Two under license plate

Four light plugs. Took me some time and flashlight to see how to disconnect them. You'll have to pull out the barbed plastic wire loom holder by PS.

Get the one inch 6 point socket for bolt on the top.

Sit back and have beer after

'22 JLURD '21 JTR,
While waiting for my Gladiator to arrive at the dealership, I picked up wheels and decided to send them out for some color. Picked them up beginning of the year and after having the tires show.... took me all of 2 days before I couldn't take it and started building my wheels. Welp, needless to say I never took them off after the test fit yesterday. I will have a lift added soon enough but until then... here is a few shots, I will take better photos over the weekend when I have more time.

What is that table? I have been searching for a good table option for my RCI
That is a table that comes with the RSI smart. I do know that Rebel Off Road makes one that I think you could make work in your shell

I've put blind spot mirrors on every vehicle I've owned since the 80's.
I particularly like these GotoShop Puzzle SL Lenze 50.8 because they're frameless and low profile.

And as a bonus, the instructions come in multiple languages.;)

curious why you went with lower outer corner instead of upper outer corner? Have spot mirrors on my JKU, and after a couple of hundred miles in the new JTS, I'm feeling the need for spot mirrors.

I wouldn't be able to put them on the top either as my Jeep has the blind spot detector triangle on that top corner and I wouldn't want cover it
