How did the Rubicon rail removal go? I haven't gotten up the nerve to try it yet.

They aren't difficult to remove.

I knew I was gonna be called out! I will get those in the morning. The Quadratec skids are some of the best made skids I've ever installed. The first aluminum skids I have used and they are awesome. I'll get under there tomorrow, promise! No pics, it never happened!

That’s very easy. Bunch of nut removals and it just slides off.

Yeah, piece of cake. No messing with any of the difficult body bolts or anything like that.
Takes maybe 5 minutes or so each side.

A small battery or air ratchet and deep well metric sockets, probably 10mm, but I don’t remember, makes it very fast. I used my Milwaukee m12 3/8” ratchet.

Well I actually couldn't wait til the weekend lol. Went ahead and did all my "fender projects" tonight. Installed my inner fender liners, my arb Compressor, and did my fender chop with Infinite Offroad Chop brackets!

Looks great. Are those offroad lights Auxbeam? if so how do you like them?

Ah, I thought you had to take off some easy-break body bolts or something like that to remove them.

I’m taking the time to make my Jeep nice again while I’m waiting on bumper parts. My paint hasn’t shined like this in years. I did some wet sanding, compounding and polishing and plastic rejuvenating. I had to scrub that plastic to get it to take the back to black. It’s been well taken care of mechanically but it’s been my work horse the last few years and hasn’t had anything but occasional washes.

The fender is off because I’m fixing a broken plastic support and some broken clips from when my lunatic ex wrecked it. It’s been droopy for years and I’m over it.

Removed the Max tow flares and installed some Take off Rubicon flares with LED turn signals I got for $250

Yes they are the Auxbeam V-Ultra 5" lights. I like them alot. The spot is very bright and the spread on side shooters is great too. Im really liking them!

STARED at it.......... sort of sad, won't be seeing it for too much longer. I'm going to miss it, I have to be honest. Happy, even "excited" for the new one, but I did literally stand in front of it and stare - and when I took it to town to go get the meds for Pickle - I sat in it for a couple of minutes, thinking of all we've done using that truck, the trips all.
Boxed up some of the parts that were removed from it.

Great to hear. I currently have some from Rough Country but continue to have issues. Two have gotten moisture in them and another had the DRL light partially go out. They have a 3 year warranty and Rough Country has been good about replacing them but I may have to get something different when the warranty runs out. I like the DRL function and have seen the Auxbeam in the past so they may be a good option.

Bitter sweet. Been there done that. BUT just think about what you're about to get your hands on. Can't wait to see the new ride. Would love to see that color in person as I have heard it looks great in the sunlight.

When I went to check the model number last night Amazon has a $30 coupon for them right now. So you can catch a deal it its still going.
