Thanks JTzntz!
...
The poor thing may be listing until I have both sides installed.
If it’s not one thing, it’s 20 others! Looking good! Glad they finally are making it onto your truck!

If it’s listing, they MUST be heavy duty!

Can you tell me more about the JCR rails. Did you have to drill new holes? How do they attach to the body? 196 pounds is a lot!

I put a number of nutserts into each side. Lots of big holes to drill in that expensive sheet metal!

Yikes! I better stick with a different brand such as Rock Hard. My Jeep won’t be seeing as many rocks as yours LOL

I hear that! I remember installing armored LED Corner lights on my JK where I had to cut out big areas of sheet metal...THAT was very scary too!

A fun view of my truck in the driveway this morning.

Hello all. WOW! I guess it has been about 5 months since my last post! In that time I got COVID and had my cancerous prostate removed. It has been over 6 weeks since the surgery and while I am not back to full duty, it is happening.

I couldn’t resist doing a little flexing and experimenting with the electronic sway bar disconnect yesterday...

can’t wait to get it on the trail. The only mechanical thing I have on the burner is to finish installing the Rubicon Express skid plate system. I did the transfer case skid today and hope to get the last two done tomorrow...

Anyway hope to see some of you on the trail soon. I am tired of her being a driveway queen!

Glad to see you are getting better and moving on with your build, missed the updates. Hope to see you on the trails or a cars and coffee.
thanks Commodus! I hope so too!

I know it probably sounds crazy that I didn’t want to wheel until I felt my rig was protected, but that’s how I roll. Now that all of the skid plates are on I feel like I am there! Here are a few pics...

Well, she is now geared to 5.13!👍 drives much better but the 500 mile break-in is a pain...
In keeping with my desire to protect all that I can, today I installed a Hard Rock axle disconnect skid plate. Not sure what other skid plates I can get! 🤔

I received an MXT400 GRMS radio set up and all four extended brake lines in the mail today. These should be going on soon. Also waiting for the diff covers to get here on Tuesday from Motobilt. They will be painted and installed during the fluid change next week....things are happening!

I tried a simple trail around here the other day and she did awesome! It was so nice to get her dirty finally! 👍😎
