Popped that factory bracket right off.
We were warned about that by @mx5red so I added those proactively. I probably would have broken mine already with some of the boulders I've been playing on.

I knew it was a matter of time I just didn’t think it would be that soon. Both sides were trashed. As an added bonus I made the conscious decision to snap one of the bolts in half on the driver’s side bracket

So now there’s a bolt on one side and a hole with half a bolt on the other side. I’m seriously considering just plugging the hole with a nice wallop of hot metal via my Lincoln welder and just being done with it. It’s 117 degrees in the garage with ashes falling all over from the fire nearby and I’ve got to yank the doors and top off for Jeep Bash in the morning

I thought that fire was close to your house. I have a cab cover for mine for if I ever get to taking the doors off. As hot as it is and as short as my time is I haven't got there yet but I hope to get to it soon.

Had a great view of it last night, I’m sure we’ll have the same thing tonight. Hoping for the best out there.

added the Mopar LCAs from their 2" kit to my 1.5" Teraflex spacer kit. Ride is better than with the OEM CA's, bumps are less abrupt in front.

Wish I was coming to JB. I know lots of people attending have fun

Will do this will be our first trip out there. Wifey’s ready to go, I’m just waiting for the temps to dip below a hundred so I can get ready

Fortunately it's burning away from the houses. Hopefully they'll get a grip on it before it burns up the whole side of the mountain.

Well, apparently I hate money but...

The arms and correction brackets did the trick!

A huge thank you to @Metalcloak for making a top-notch product and also to Rock Your 4x4 out of Knoxville who came out to the GSMJI. Without their input, I'd still be worried about what all was needed to make the best improvements.

The mud also got picked up at the GSMJI on the Mountain Mile by the wife who got to experience driving her first trail. Went from the Show & Shine straight to the mud & dust. Absolutely as proud as I can be of her!

Tonight’s not looking much better than last night, hopefully it will be over soon

Do you have a link to those brackets? That's something I may address before it becomes an issue.

Color matched windshield bumper covers and installed some OEM led taillights. Got a nice family discount on the lights from my cousin.
