They make a huge difference, you will appreciate them!
I have a gravel driveway and it’s saved my truck. Used to hit 50 mph and PING! Not anymore and near zero door spray. This is with 3” of “poke“ too.

Dawn Viola huh, I have a niece named Ruby Viola. My grandmother’s name was Viola.
I had a Grand Aunt on my mother's side who was Viola. Viola Robinson Long also from Texas, born in the late 1880's. Pure Scottish going back to around 700 AD...

Never met her or any of my other Grand Aunts. One of them actually did the family tree (dating it back to around 700 AD in Scotland) and published a book about it.

I installed my new @Tuwa Pro Moab rack that I won on Thanksgiving day, and added some graphics from @pixeldecals. Unfortunately, the vent graphic is only on the right because I screwed up the left one.

So haven’t done it yet but the last piece the new Eaton One Wire eLocker delivered today. Now to get it in for the install done. Will wire up to the Aux panel until the factory Rubicon locker switch arrives

mojavicon in the works!

Right about 3 weeks to get the overland rack, roof rack got there just over a week before.

Are you planning on mounting it to the trail rail? I had fitment issues with mine, had to take off the trail rail and mount it to the lip of the bed.
I kind of think that the package is out in front of my house right now so waiting to get home. But yeah I was going to mount it to the trail rail but what exact issues did you have? I don't have the factory rail. I have the one from builtright so not sure if that makes a difference.

Very cool, this is definitely on my list as well.

Probably not the re gear, but definitely the locker as I'm only planning on going to 35.

I was thinking about using the rubi switch as well, I'm curious to see how much wiring needs to be added. Hopefully just the connection from the locker...

Held off on posting this because I don’t believe the system is fully bled yet (first time I’ve ever done brakes, and did it myself). I bought the Teraflex big brake kit, and proceeded to install it over a couple days. It was mostly “plug and play”, .

What is the difference between stock brakes and big brake kit? Are rotors bigger or just upgrading to 4 piston calipers?

Both. You're going from 13/13.6" (if i'm not mistaken) rotors to 14" rotors all around, and from 2 piston/1 piston floating calipers to 4 piston fixed calipers all around.

How are you planning to wire up the factory locker switch? Are you waiting for an adapter? I looked into it, and it seems like adding the locker switch to a non-Rubi is basically a non-starter without some kind of adapter, specifically as it pertains to wiring into the drivetrain module.

Finally, after a 3 month wait, I got everything put on in my signature. Did a beadlock match to the factory paint as well. Turned out good if I do say so myself. 5.38 gears did it right too - running at about 2500 RPM on the freeway at 75mph in 8th. Not having to hunt either.

Not so much of what I did to the JT, but more of what it did for me. Got the wife and I safely to work in ridiculous freezing rain conditions.
Could have put on ice skates the roads were just wild.
It performed like a champ in 4H, slow and steady while we watched others slip slide and bounce off curbs and each other.
