Added this today. Great quality, fit and finish. Horrible incomplete instructions. T slots for my Yakima rack that is on the way.

If your using synthetic rope you don’t really need a cable damper.
Have you ever seen synthetic rope snap under pressure? I have, watched 25 feet of 5/8" recoil back. Snapped at the vehicle end and hit a fence 10 feet behind the stump it was attached to. Hit hard enough that I wouldn't want of been hit by it.
Sure it wasn't as bad as steel cable would of been, but it was pretty bad.

Ronny Dahl has a good video on the subject.

I only have in videos and saw the rope snap and go dead. I appreciate the heads up. I stand corrected and will remember that.

Gave mine a service. I used this oil last time and it worked good. The other parts are what they happen to have in stock at my Oreilly’s. Doing your own oil change isn’t cheap anymore but I did get a $10 rebate on the oil.

I decided to go all in with AEV on the front end. And Warn Zeon winch. I’m really happy with how it turned out but this was a major pita.

Picked up a set of Redline Tuning Hood Struts during Amazon Big Prime Days. Didn't need them but for the price why not? Adds more accessibility to the space too. I had a set on my Mustang and it made a big difference back then

Liked them so much I transferred them from my 2020 to my 2022 when I traded and almost immediately installed a set on my wife's JLU right after we bought it..

Mine didn’t come with those easy off red levers. Ima gunna have to uggadugga them to have to tilt the hood back for access when I need the access. That being said, I haven’t had to yet. I just don’t like my hands tied…

Changed the oil & filter, replaced the air filter. Installed two 100W silicone heat pads on the oil pan, glued on with red high temp silicone. Installed engine block heater and plastic wrapped all cords and routed to a 3way plug-in for 120V. Oil is 72F after 1hour plugged in @ 28F, forgot to check the coolant temp… 2023 JTRD
