Day 27:
Changed my TazerJL to a TazerJLMini
I have a buddy at work that bought a JL Rubicon. I was showing off the TazerJL to him and he wanted one, so I sold mine to him and ordered a mini.

Installed my major Amazon Prime day purchase:

There's thoughts. 4.56 maybe?

I practically have a 7 speed, it seems like it prefers 7th more than 8th.

But again, I'm not a hard core rock climber, if so I would have gone a different way.

Also My Rubi is 4.10 now, the folks putting 37s on a sport or overland will probably need to change out of those 3.73s or they'll have to drive off a cliff while flooring it and MAYBE hit 8th while free falling. :facepalm:

So how does it feel with the 4.10's and 37's currently? I'm debating on going this route, but do tow my boat some and I am very interested in your thoughts. Great job so far, I really like it.

FEELS GREAT, not towing anything.
IF I towed regularly, I'd either go 35s or regear.
I think trying to pull a boat with any regularity on the 37s is too much.

and I was so happy to hear my LE would have MOLLE straps on the seat backs.
In reality, I don't like them, so I just put in the MOLLE assembly that I had from my ZR2.

if anybody with the TAN interior wants one, I have a Cayote one available.

hey @JP1 great build thread. You're doing great in the pictures department!

One question - the bull bar, how does it affect the front trail cam? Did you take a picture of that already and I missed it?

I love their product line when looking. Stupid question maybe, but the price listed, is that for one side only? or did you get both sides for the 400 and change?
