Bent this sway bar link at Jeep Jamboree in N AL a couple weeks ago. Hit the rock so hard it also deformed the frame mount. So, I thought now was a good time to install a Hellwig rear sway bar and Rusty's Sway Bar Double Sheer Mount. And it's done!

I added a winch solenoid last night, and mapped it to an aux switch.

Umm, looks like the original reached 99 pages and was closed for more replies. So keep posting here!

I had tint done to front 2 windows, bug deflector installed, wayout style wrap installed, tires cleaned. 303 applied to tonneau cover.

EDIT: forgot to mention possibly the most important mod, ceramic coated grille, grille guard, and double ceramic coated windshield. FU bugs! Try sticking to all my ceramic now..... Stupid bugs.

Still waiting on Mopar performance rock rails and new wheels to show. Have had the rock rails on order for 2 months from BAM auto parts and ready to give up and cancel the order and maybe try another supplier

More tedious boring stuff. Debadged and rebadged the driver side Jeep logo to fix the crookedness from factory, and spacing with BOH badges. Then added the first BOH badges to the passenger side. Two of them from Arkansas are still backordered. Seems simple, but I was dreading it. Took 2-3 hours per side of the Jeep. I did the passenger side a few days ago.

I haven’t seen the Rusty’s sway reinforcement. Looks like it still relies on that weak split OEM mount on the inside, I hope it’s as strong as the Metalcloak reinforcement.

Today I corrected an OEM issue that I uncovered on 10/26/23.

When I removed the tailgate JEEP plastic emblems I found two locating holes. It surprised me as these days most manufacturers use a template to correctly place emblems with no pins needed.

So, I had some holes to cover up:

I found some emblems online that I liked and they finally got here. I installed them this morning:

I have the MC reinforcement kit, super easy install and has been proven to work so far for me

Swapped out the AALabs Fender Chop kit, and went with @Metalcloak.

Couldn't be anymore impressed with the quality. For my side amber light, it couldn't reach my Mojave fenders in width, so I just simply put a bolt there for more stability. 🤙
