Only thing I can really show off ?

30mi away from finishing 100mi break-in. So far it hasn’t felt too lurchy. TBH I expected it to be a lot touchier going from 3.73 to 5.13. Will be interesting once I can give it some heavy pedal.

Last year, someone hit my Jeep in a parking lot and the PS fender hasn’t been right. I ordered parts back in December and they never came. I canceled and ordered with our forum sponsor and they were here within a week. I had to take the whole fender apart, which is a pita, and I had to buy a plastic river gun, but everything is back solid and secured. I was missing the side marker light and the “fender” wasn’t attached right. It wasn’t that hard of a job, but a bit time consuming.

Installed my Tazer today. The programming went smooth. Nailed the tire size first try! Love the stoplight brake hold.
The plugs were hard to pull… I eventually got them by depressing the tab with one hand and then pulling with a 90° pick on the opposite side of the plug.

Shenanigans!
I turned a few 30 min projects into some several hour projects.
Got a delivery from Metalcloak:
Jeep Gladiator What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK] FF241982-3888-47BB-A370-71157289C1C5

Jacked up the back and took wheels off to install the sway reinforcements and durosprings.
Guess I stripped the sway nuts when I installed the AEV spacer lift. I drilled out the OEM nuts so the new Metalcloak bolts would work, except they’re too short to go on top of the OEM nuts (meant for people that cut the bracket off or are missing a nut?).
So, got new m12-1.75 by 90mm bolts (stock is m12-1.5) and got ‘em set.?
The rear durosprings were luckily a two minute job… fronts will have to wait until another day of taking springs out.

since I had time and tools out, I also fixed my rear Rock Hard LCA skids I had installed incorrectly a long time ago.

If you zoom you can see the left is now installed correctly with the rear tab inside of the LCA mount; the right side still has the tab butting up against the bottom of the mount, and the skids were angled up such that it was limiting the control arm movement. Both arms had a little groove pressed into them from the front of the skid.

Lastly, I installed a dry AFE air filter to wash/reuse. Except, my winch shutoff switch I have mounted on a bracket under the engine cover was blocking the screw to take the filter cover off. After a bunch of dicking around with extensions and wobble joints I got it installed, but I’m less enthusiastic about washing out my air filter now :headbang:

I have been waiting forever for these speakers. Literally just got a message saying that they’re not available yet. What do you think of them?

Added a PRIUS KILLER !!!! Still need to tweak the fitment to straighten it up a bit, but my main issue is it is setting off my reverse proximity sensors. Currently researching solutions.
