Installed the metal cloak rear sway bar link reinforcement brackets. Had to remove a bracket on the driver side (pictured), that seems to have no good purpose, but it was smooth and easy regardless of that. Thanks @Metalcloak. Solid product. The one thing I’d mention is that the hardware kit came with course thread bolts and nuts, so I used my hardware.

The exhaust comes out on the opposite side on the diesel, and it has the same bracket on that side. If you look up the part number it lists it as an exhaust resonator skid plate or something like that. And on my Jeep at least, if the exhaust ever managed to come in contact with it, you've got much bigger problems...

I chucked it

Yeah. It looked like it’s intention was to protect the exhaust hanger there, but it was inches away in a location very unlikely to be hit by anything.

ECRI is a very good option for recalibrating the speedometer. I really like the GPS Calibration. It does other things but I can't remember. I use a TAZER Mini for the things ECRI does not do.
Man I wish I saw this before I got my Tazer. I may grab one of these and just store the Tazer or sell it. I like removing it and not worrying about it.

There's an electrical connector somewhat north of it. I thought it might be to deflect heat and just chooped it and threw it back on.

There’s a similar electrical connector on the other side without that skid, so I skipped it. I can always change my mind. I kept it in the pile of take offs. :)

Chopped the suitcase muffler and combined the two resonators, creating a rock crawler type system. Im really impressed, sounds better than my 20’ Magnaflow crawler system that cost $700. This cost $30. As you can see the 22’ 3.6 have smaller rear resonator now. AFE rock basher is on its way so I did this for fun and im considering keeping it if the AFE doesnt work out. Those beautiful burbles between shifts is addicting!!

Have you heard it without the rear resonator?

I'm a little ambivalent concerning my latest mod... As a matter of form following function- it's great. But from an aesthetic point I'm not satisfied and can't really put my finger on it.

Sourced locally from harbor freight and northern tool:
1 roadshock 30" combo light bar rated at 8k lumens.
1 2pk roadshock floodlights rated at 2k lumens each so ostensibly 12k lumens out front and it does light up the night. I used a little artistic license to mount the pods on the end brackets of the bar.

Lights are controlled by Blazer remote switch and saved a lot of time not having to route through the firewall and dig around underneath the dash. Now where to mount the remote...
HF helped with a holiday weekend sale so total cost around $350 and I still have 2 Blazer pods to put somewhere. Maybe on the cowl.

I miss the overrider bar and wonder if it would be better to mount the equivalent lumens in light pods across the front of it? Has anyone done this? Pics of your bumper mounted light assemblies are welcome.
