I threw a set of Rubicon front shocks on my Sport S. I have the rears ready to install as well, but will take care of those this coming weekend. The difference in ride quality is pretty nice just from swapping out the front, and I couldn't beat the deal I got from an ebay seller ($206 for all four shipped).

What’s involved to swap out? Does the wheel even have to come off? Can I do in my driveway? Info please?

Very clean set up. Nicely done!

I’ve been planning this for a while, finally got around to adding my 12v power accessory ports to the bed. I ran marine 8awg wire from the battery inside the frame rails to the rear, added a fuse block at the rear frame, then came up with a switch powering a usb C, 3 usb A, and a cigarette lighter port. Then I also have an always hot SAE plug. My Jeep came with the factory inverter so I already have 110 in the bed also.

Got my Mopar Gladiator cab cover and used it right away! Was using a cover made for 2 door Wranglers, and it worked just fine with I was topless but not so much when doorless as well.

Fit of the new cover is great, if you have tube/half doors with mirrors like I do, you need to fold them in. Material feels like it will hold up well to the elements (it's heavy). Just want to mention that this is not intended to be used with the top (hard or soft) on. I know in the thread about this cover there were questions about it's ability to withstand rain, there is a reference to heavy rain in the instructions and how to place a towel on the crossbar to elevate the center of the cover to aid in run off.

Ordered me the Bestop Sunrider top for the Jeep from Trailtoyz in Wasilla; should arrive in two weeks. While I was there. I picked up a Jeep'n Alaska sticker and put it on when I got home. Amazon prime and shipping from anyone else was a no go. Added benefit, I get to support a local business.

I opted to take the wheels off just to have a bit of extra droop to let the shocks loose and get the new ones in. I did it in my drive way and it took about an hour from start to finish. Very easy work.

Added my Sunrider and some little plastic door clips. Super happy with both!

I want the sun rider for the summer, but I have the mopar roof rack I wonder if the front bar would get in the way? In you pic is that flipped all the way open. It looks as though the lead bar is extended and that is where it stops. If that is the case the it might work.

If you need pics or measurements, let me know.
