How was installing the Voswitch in the grab handle? I have that as a weekend project this week.

It was so easy took about 2 hrs just because I was taking my time to make the wiring neat and in order.
the scariest part was drilling a 22 millimeter hold in the inside of grab handle but it really wasn’t bad.
it works and looks amazing
Directions were perfect. Only think I did not do was touch the window. No need the wire slides right where it needs to be.

Maintenance. Oil change and diffs

Curious ... how did you measure the diff fluid? I have a pump which will fit the oil bottles but want to plan a good way to make sure I'm putting in the right amount.

When parked on level ground, the fill hole is self leveling when the fluid starts to drain out when added.

@Hootbro said it. Fill until it comes out of the fill hole, while parked on level ground. If you are not comfortable with that, Amsoil site has the recommended amount for front and rear

Ignore the fact that his Jeep is lifted and on a rack which tilts the diff and will cause an under fill. But this is basically how you do a diff fluid change.

Perhaps I should be more specific. I am replacing my diff cover and the fill plug hole is at a different spot. Need to measure the actual volume being transferred so I stay in spec.

Ahhh!!! I replaced my covers too.

Most of the time, aftermarket covers will require more fluid. JT differential housings with OEM covers require just a shade under 2qts front and rear. My Yukon covers required about 2.5 in the rear and 2.3 in the front.

I simply filled till fluid dripped out of the fill hole.

Got it! Thanks!

I’ve never seen the driveshaft dropper before.

Are you still running the 2” lift?

How close to “straight” does the driveshaft appear now?

Installed a Tazer mini bracket and gas cap holder from etsy.

Installed a driveshaft dropper from Rock Jock.

Mounted a new bike rack for my new bike (Happy new bike day to me!)

Put on the tube doors and went for a ride/cruise.

I've got the Mopar 2" lift with 1.5" leveller in front and 0.75" in the rear for the weight of the winch/overlanding gear. I didn't measure angles before/after, but by eye it appears a bit straighter.

That comes with the AEV 2” spacer lift. Makes me think it should be standard for real lifts.
