how much difference did the speakers make?

Looks awesome, wheels, shocks and all. I've been looking for the LE springs and have had no luck finding anything other than just Rubicon springs at allmopar com. Do you have a specific part number? How did you find LE springs? Also did you put the 1.5" teraflex leveling with the springs?

Thanks!

340 is the left and 343 is the right.

I think I got them from Allmopar. That or Mopar parts online.

I put the 1" spacer on top of the LE springs.

Pretty big difference but I need a sub as well. Low end is on the weak side.

Made it to my parents place in Montana last night. Took two days to get here. Soft top is not advised in Montana with the high speed limits and cross winds. It drove great!

Drove up to the top of a mountain on what I think was a snowmobile road. Or snow cat road. Near the very top the road was completely washed out. It was passable, but would require so pretty gnarly rock crawling. Solo without a winch, no cell service, two hour walk to help... Nah I'm good.

That trip did break a sway bar link. I never ordered quick disconnects in time, and was too lazy to crawl under a remove them.

Unfortuantely while driving through an insane storm, my driver's front wheel speed sensor got dislodged and eaten by they razor sharp disc brake dust shield.

A 15 hour drive with no ABS, no cruise control, no stability control through torrential storms was not fun.

I'm dropping it off at the dealer on Wednesday. I hope they replace it under warranty, because wasn't something damaged from abuse or neglect.

17.1 mpg average all highway, with a lot of 80-85 mph runs. Not terrible, not great.

I prefer to keep it under 75. I also had to put a towel underneath the front of the soft top in-between the fabric and the frame, to prevent buffeting noises at 80+ mph.

Ground breaking mods...

Mopar Deflector: I usually don't like bug deflectors, but you can't notice it on the black paint. I already have a cracked windshield with only 5500 miles. I'll be replacing it with the Gorilla Glass windshield when I get time.

I installed the JKS Quicker Disconnects. I read some negative posts about them and hesitated ordering them for a few months. I decided to give them a try. You have to cut off one of the passenger sway bar tabs, which I get, that can seem scary to people. It was super easy to install them and the seem to be high quality. I ran out of grease for my grease gun, but them come with zerk? fittings.

What part numbers did you order for your shocks w the leveling and daystar kit? I see a few on there site.

Exactly what I'm setting up as well.

Go to Bilsteins Online Catalog to see more products that fit, but here is what I ordered. They have other models and other lift sizes.

I had to order the 1.5" shock in the rear, due to availability. I only have a .75" spacer, but I did the measurements and it's fine. Plus I have the Max Tow, so it won't squat as much as a Sport or Overland. Any heavy duty loads I use airbags.

So did you have OEM LEDs or not? If not, and if you’ve subbed out to LEDs, how did you go about doing so? I’m also in a sport s max tow

Sorry for the delay. I went with LED drop ins. They have surprisingly been very good. I just ordered the ones suggested in the massive thread in the lightning section here.

Order the Rugged Ridge HD front and rear bumpers. They are by far my favorite looking set. I love how the front mimics the curve and spirt of the front end, including meeting the front fenders.

I haven't ordered a winch in a decade, and got lost very quickly with all of the options. I figured that this Warn is probably a safe bet. 10k should be plenty, using the 1.5x GVWR formula. I'll keep a snatch block on-board just in case.

This is exactly how I opened the box from 4WheelParts.com. Not happy... nothing else was in the box.

So I braved 5 o'clock traffic and headed to my local 4WP to buy one. They couldn't replace or return my online order, which in 2021 is a bit ridiculous. Oh well.

I really like this bumper. It suits the front end so well. Installation was straight forward, except for one bolt hole on my frame being off-center from the factory. A drill bit solved that.

good choice. Mine also barley fits in the garage. I have a 3 car garage and it is tight with a 2020 Cadillac 2020 Gladiator and a 2018 Ford Focus

Ordered the Livernois tune today. I had no idea that the 2021 was out. Last that I checked it was still TBD.

I'll ship my ECU on Sunday or Monday.

Next was upgrading to LED bulbs thanks to recommendations here. I want to go with Morimoto headlights soon. I have friends at The Retrofit Source here in Atlanta. I highly recommend them.

What headlight bulbs and fog light bulbs did you go with? thanks. Looks great
