Got my custom grab handles from @darksidedesigns installed today and super stoked. Preston is super flexible as to color options and we figured these out together. Highly recommend hitting him up for an easy personallized mod.

Rotated tires, adjusted track bar and draglink bar. Only thing is I didn't get the steering just quite right and with my OCD I will be adjusting that a little more tomorrow that steering wheel will have to be perfectly straight for me to be satisfied ?

Been working on final touches of installing an Spod BantamX with lights. Baja Designs LP-6's on top, and the OnX6 amber fog light underneath. I fabbed an aluminum bracket that captures both sets using 1 through-bolt, which I will change out with a security bolt. The bull bar and bumper are a Rock Hard 4x4 all aluminum plate bumper (it only weighs 37 lbs!). The HD control panel I mounted overhead on an overhead ACR Molle Panel in the cab.

Didn’t “do” it yet, but excited to get my SteerSmarts draglink with attenuator installed.

I was thinking of going with that when I had my old JT. If it’s not too much trouble, could you give a quick review after a road test? I’d like to know if you can feel a noticeable difference and is it worth the price. I know price is totally what you can afford, but you know what saying…..hopefully.
i was also concerned with clearance issues. That actuator looks like it will take up some space.

Nice. I was thinking of the flares as well. What's the going price currently? BTW what's the install like?
Once I figured out how they fit, it wasn’t bad. Nothing would line up but I got it eventually. Some holes line up and some you have to drill. The rears you have to make a relief cut on the bend to make them fit. I think the install kit was around $100 and the flare kit was around $70.

Bestop rails arrive. Bed rails went on quick. I had trouble with one bolt on the side rails. Made the lady is happy to have steps. Installed auxbeam head lights, foglights and bulbs all around earlier this week.

So did you buy 2 sets of front flares and cut the rear flare at the bottom of the fender? Read a thread on that a while back. If so how did you get a good smooth cut? Also what size Rokblokz did you go with? Looks like XL long on front and possibly XL reg on rear. I've been contemplating getting both of these for a bit. Not sure if I just want the Rokblokz or if I want to tackle the flares that require a good bit of work with the rivets and cutting. Any insight would be appreciated. Those really look good.

Thanks. I figured I'd get the longs if I get them. Appreciate the link.
I made one triangle cut on the rears right at the bend and it worked out fine.
