Installed the MetalCloak rear bumper. Fit perfectly with the RedRock Bed side rock rails. I like the compact rear bumper. The LED lights gave me a fit, but Chris at MetalCloak gave me some great customer support help... "try reversing the polarity" from the instructions... shazam they work great.

Reinforced corners?

Reinforced corners?

The bumper and the rock sliders both attach to the frame, so they are both stout enough to stand on, drag over rocks, etc.

Finally got around to mounting my compressor in the bed, bought a cheap set of 20 or 25 foot jumper cables off Amazon and cut the clamps off of them to use as power and ground wires. The air up/down hose sits under the seat and I can go from four flat tires to four tires with 34psi in under 7 minutes. I’m good with that.

I Really like this set up. Been considering doing the same, Can you provide some links of parts and a little more explanation of your install? Thank you in advance,

Installed my ClearVU backup camera cleaner/washer today. I deviated from their instructions and tied it into my front camera washer system instead of the windshield wipers. That way I don’t have to spray the windshield to clean it, and one “Clean Camera” button does them both. Looking forward to not having to stop and wipe it off when I go to back into my short garage.

My ClearVu was delivered yesterday and an installing this weekend. Honestly, I was considering hooking it to my front camera as well. It looks like there’s going to be more than enough of the tubing. Did you have any issues during installation? Have you been happy with the way it performs so far? I came across their ad on Facebook over the weekend ordered it. And it showed up almost immediately. I’m excited to give it a shot.

You are correct, there are no issues with the tubing, plenty of it. I've been very happy with ti so far, it works great.

It's been 5000ish miles since I installed the gears and lockers, and I just did 1500 of them over this past weekend including two badge of honor trails so I dropped the diff covers to inspect what's going on in there. Gears still look like they just came out of the box. I did fluid swaps at 750 miles after rebuild because I was making a trip to Yellowstone, then again at 2500ish miles because I was in the Owyhees for a whole day running hard in 4 wheel. Royal Purple 85w140 is definitely some good gear oil I'll say that.

I also rebuilt my JKS quicker disconnects because they're almost 5 years old and were looking haggard.

I replaced the SECOND brake caliper bolt to fall out on me.
Seriously, for your safety go loc-tite those bolts!!

Damn y'all are sure you're hitting the torque spdc for those? I've never seen a caliper bolt vibrate out even without loctite. Are your rotors warped causing excessive vibration?

I published my installation of the Fauxpar bumper. So far after a fresh powder coat it is still looking great.

Got my second to last Jeep wave free oil change and 5 tire rotation. Probably be my last as I have lost faith in my dealer. Guy asked me to open the hood for him, so I think ok, I can do that for you. then he yelled at me to “STAY IN THE TRUCK SIR!”

How much are those Exceed doors? Their website only shows a $20 pre order
