I got my JT a little brother. A super clean unmolested 2017 JKU for my work commute to keep miles off my 39’s.

That stinger is crazy cool. Time for some endos.

Safety wise, you think plastic is a good material for a application like this?

I printed it in abs, so it's plenty strong!!

Hobo beat me to it but HOLY STINGER, BATMAN!!! That the first time I’ve seen a full stinger on a JT. It doesn’t look bad.

I like it. Solid choice. No fear.

Initial drive with new stabilizer is the soft setting is way firmer than stock. Either the stock one was shot or this one is just really firm. Not really in a bad way. More I just wasn’t expecting it to be so firm. My stock one I could pretty easily push in when I had it off. This one there was no way. Need to see how it does on the roads that create some shimmy.

Well I rotated the knob on the Nexus 2.2 stabilizer to firm and that setting is very soft so I guess I missed a step while installing. It's not a big deal. It feels the best on medium anyways and mine is facing the rear, but I know where the medium setting is. I doubt I will ever move it anyway.

Today I installed a Clayton 2.5” ride right lift kit, falcon 1.1 shocks, and Teraflex front lower spring isolators with previously installed falcon 1.1 steering stabilizer and Whiteline rear swaybar. This is on fifteen 52 wheels and 35x10.5 Kenda tires.

Nice wheels!!

I'm obviously not the guy you're asking and I have no idea about his print specifically but I've been eyeballing 3d printing for a long time. Plenty of plastics that are strong enough though, like Delrin. But even a slightly softer plastic and 3/4" I think I'd be comfortable with as a spacer. Not an engineer, though.

It's a good question.

Folks are 3D printing guns, I think the seat jackers will hold up fine...

installed a used sun rider yesterday

Installed locking hood latches. Was a quick and easy job and makes me feel a little better making her more secure. (We had somebody in our driveway a few nights back trying door handles randomly. He worked his way through the neighborhood apparently.)

Looks like the same ones I installed today. My OEM latches have been a frequent snack for the squirrels in my neighborhood so I’m hoping they don’t like the taste of these, lol. And extremely straight forward and easy install I might add.

 

[Bandit’s Lair]

The squirrels ate your hood latches??!!
THATS NOT NUTS!!!!

So today I installed the @TeraFlex forged HD draglink. I WANT to thank @WILDHOBO For the recommendation.
This draglink is a beast I mean Until you see it and pick it up you dont realize how strong and heavy made this thing is.
I did have a hard time getting the taper to let loose on the pitman arm side . Had to break out the butane torch and heat it . @WILDHOBO warned me it would be tough. After that it was pretty straight forward. The fact it is greasable and the joints also came with a special tool to adjust the slack out of them and or tighten them up a smidgen. Well it was said I would love it and guess what . I do. Man that thing looks great. .
