Josh's Rig, Oscar.

Now this added a LOT of true lift.

I have a Max Tow with 1.5” Tera flex spacer in front and a 3/4” day star in the rear.

Pre lift front 37” to the front fender and just over 38.5” to the rear.

Post lift taking OUT the spacers, 39.5” front and just over 41.5” rear.

So gained 2.5” in the front and 3” in the rear.

That’s after taking out 1.5” and 3/4” and I have a steel bumper and added a winch.

AEV builds there kits to be true 2.5” with steel bumpers and winches. From those results I say they do!

Oh but there is more!

5100 shocks come in the kit, I also did the stabilizer while doing everything else.

And last but not least… Apex sway-bar disconnects.

Thanks so much for all the measurements and pics above...and for commenting in my AEV lift discussion thread to check out your build! Sounds like we followed identical paths...I have the 1.5" Teraflex up front and 3/4" Daystar in the rear right now and I am going to go for the AEV and remove them. In the "after" pics above are those still the 285/70/17's?

285/75/r17, yes same tires, basically 34”.

Not sure if I’ll do 35” or 37” eventually but it’s not horrible looking w the 34”s

Molle panel installed from American Adventure Lab.

Wanted it for the power tank to mount on. I’ll add fuel can/water mount of some sort in the future. Not decided on rotopax or a traditional metal fuel can yet.

For any one whose not added molle before they are kind of a pita. You have to built the panel, loose fit it, then add your accessory mount, test fit every thing, then mount it to the rig.

I don’t think there is a bolt pattern standard out there. The panel and power tank backing plate didn’t line up. 4 bolts go through the large openings to the backing plate, the two middle lined up with holes, one of those I had to drill out.

That said! I love it. Exactly what I wanted, gets the tank secured great. Room for more stuff as well.

Fire extinguisher added to MOLLE.

Rotopax tomorrow if the mount showed up.

How many miles have you done with supercharger?
I'd like to throw a magnuson on my Rubicon but I'm yet to see how many have lasted the test of time...I want to see at least 60k+ miles on a pretty decent number of them before engine shits itself. I think that would convince me it's safe to put one on.

I am only looking for better low down torque for towing...not high revs or high speed.

 

[Josh00333]

I’ve got 23k.

There are a bunch out there with higher miles and JLs as well.

Nice build out!

 

[Josh00333]

Rest of the MOLLE mounts showed up!

The weight of most everything is on the bed, the molle just acts as a support for them to not move.

Bed is done for the foreseeable future.

I am thinking about a softtoper…

 

[Josh00333]

Diff covers, winch bar, and trail cam all came in.

Oh and new gears….

More once installed!

 

[Josh00333]

Trail cam!

Thanks to @Dougstdig and him finding this gem!

Works well…. In the garage LOL

Technical shoe placement for a measurement on the visual.
