We have an update! (Finally)
Got some rock rails today, traded my sidesteps for them with another forum member @usc4duke so huge shout out to him for the trade.

Looks awesome my friend! I am super happy with the steps as well!!!!

Looks good. Think you have same wheels I bought for mine. Well, close anyway.

Oooh, I like your winch setup! Care to share what parts you used there? Thanks!!

We finally made it to Moab, only did Fins and Things because I had the wife with me and her anxiety was about spent after that. Nothing but good news however. I linked up with another group early in the trail and ended up tailing another black JT the entire way through. Definitely helped picking a few lines so I could avoid dragging the trailer hitch.
And I still have to give nothing but rave reviews for my Yokohamas. I felt absolutely glued to the rocks the entire way.
I was a bit worried since I didn't have any lockers, but I guess it didn't matter since I never lost grip or had a wheel in the air. May have also been the swaybar quick disconnects from JKS helping to keep the wheels down as well.

Well if anyone is wondering, it take about 16 hours to regear and add a locker to a front axle with literally everything that can go wrong, going wrong.

Finally, a solution for everyone tailgating me even though I'm going 5 over in the slow lane.
