They've been fine. They did great on the light wheeling I've done, and they're surprisingly quiet and comfortable on-road. They look fantastic. I run them at 33/34lbs and calibrated the speedo at 34.4in I think. Big mileage hit though- ooof. Also I haven't regeared and it's a little strange. You...

OK the scooter mirrors are these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DOV2LUE ...and they kind of just work: The nut is a tiny bit hard to finger tighten, so I might put some kind of washer or spacer on it (Narrator: he is too lazy to do this), but for the money, it's a no-brainer.

Not sure I like what I'm hearing with this "grille" talk. I'm sure you're not thinking of an angry birds grille....right....? RIGHT?

I agree. These systems that can air up all four tires at once are total overkill.

When you say "stock control arms" do you mean you did not install the LCAs that came with the lift, and used the AEV brackets instead on the LCAs? Or just that you left the rest of the control arms stock? Also, were the draglink and tie rod upgrades just for beefiness, or do you figure they...

...and you're not an idiot.

Well, you either need to pull from one side or push from the other. I guessing slipping anything under the bolt head is virtually impossible. All you need is for the threads to bite, so maybe you could grab the bolt head with vice grips and pull/twist to get it started? Is there any way to get...

The use case for scattering valvetrain parts down a quarter-mile of freeway, yes.

Well, I guess if no pictures of it exist we'll just have to use our imagination.

That is an unusual ownership story but I'm here for it. Sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination. I hope you absolutely love your little JL! I went to buy my Gladiator and was sorely tempted by a blue two-door Rubi JL at the dealership. It was so impractical for my needs that I...

After the Mopar 2" lift and ~35x12.5, my front axle was more like 5/8" off to the driver side. The track bar attaches to the frame at the driver side in front, so lifting pulls the axle that way in front, and the opposite in back. It was pretty obvious from the front - I asked my wife what she...

I did not.

Here are the lug nuts. https://www.extremeterrain.com/coyote-jeep-gladiator-black-6-spline-nut-kit-14mm-x-150-631548sblk.html According to Ion, "The 171 will require the use of a 60 degree conical seat lug nut."

Camping tent, hound dog, pickup truck. It is a simple formula.

If I could get those springs on, it would be a lot easier to work on... Send you which, the lift kit, or the sports car? My wife is raising the point about having redundant stick-shift convertibles more and more frequently now that you mention it...

That looks like it's supposed to be that way. I will read up on it some more. Thank you.

You and I might have different definitions of "critical".

Completely psyched about the yellow and the orange. Those colors have been conspicuously absent.

What an awesome project. It looks amazing. Let us know how it's going.
