Installed fox performance shocks (holy crap they’re a night and day improvement over the rubi shocks i had on!)

installed sumo springs front bump stops. I had 2 in front bump stop extensions but ended up not using them. The added length of the sumo springs bumps made up the difference. I will probably do a hockey puck at some point though.

also put on 2in extended front sway bar ends.

and, as usual, i ended up hurting my self while working on the truck...par for the course.

This time i punched my self in the face when I lost grip in a wrench and gave myself a bloody nose. Then shortly after wrecked my left thumb with a wrench. Just a bloody mess, which my wife thought was hilarious since I pretty much always have some errant injury. So she snapped a pic.

enjoy:asshat:

Added some Led light cubes I got from tractor supply to my bumper I just added. They had a nice totally plug and play harness and you could add a wireless remote unit to it. I added that then programmed the remote to my home link. Nice and easy job. Also have a hard switch up under my dash. Mine didn’t have the aux switch option.

One of you two want to sell me your trail rated badge? Looking to do a antenna delete.
I am traveling right now and dont return for two weeks but you can have it if you just cover shipping. I can get you all that info when I return. Can't imagine it will be much to ship. It's pretty light. PM me so I dont forget to look into it when I get back.

I noticed that you have the quadratec bumper which is the same one I got. I had it installed on my JL before trading it in on my Gladiator and plan to install it. I do have a question for you, were you able to but the factory skid plate back on? I noticed the JL and JY have different skid plates and I had to cut a section off the top of my JL skid to clear the winch plate. Did you have to do anything to the JT skid plate? Also what did you have to do or get to wire your lights into the homelink buttons? Did you have to get any additional equipment to make it work?

I have not reinstalled the factory skid plate yet. I attempted it but could'nt get it to fit without doing some grinding on on it. I read someone else was able to make it work by using a 10 ton jack and forcing it into place but I'm leery to try that approach.

As far as the home link goes I bought a regular led harness from tractor supply and they sold an optional remote control unit that plugged into the relay. I then just programmed the extra two buttons on my home link to the on and off on the remote. Just use the same steps as programing a garage door opener. I will probably do some kind of aftermarket switch pod down the road if I add more lights but this works fine for now.
