Ended up taking my teraflex nexus 2.2 off and reinstalling my stock steering stabilizer.... after a week of driving with it.... my steering had gotten noticeably worse in all 3 settings, reinstalled the stock ss to see if my issue is gone, may stick with stock ss or maybe my gear box is going out we will see

You know I was going to check that out and I forgot, my helper (wife) was in a hurry to do something else, so I spaced it out until I read your post. UHG... I will be sure to follow up on this after I install the bumper.
I know the mid height rock hard hoop I added to our factory steel bumper allows you to see “around” it, you can see it. I felt the light bar would obstruct too much so I replaced it with small pods, just because there are mounting tabs on the hoop.

Actually I have been slacking. This is my first post.

I purchased a Sport S with Manual transmission.

Mods to date:

-Insulated hard top with Sound proof matting and added comfort king headliner. (Love this all the wind noise is gone except from the doors.)

-Installed Rubicon rims with 285 wide tires to fill the wheel well. Provides a much better ride than the stock sport s tires.

-Installed Amp Powerstep Xtreme running boards and the manual override switch to raise and lower them at will.

-All front lights replaced with Factory LED.

-Drop in bedliner installed for hauling gravel and bark mulch

-Front bumper replaced with metal Rubicon bumper.

-Front metal bumper modified to remove the bumps that stick forward in front of the metal.

-Installed custom fabricated panels to fill the voids in the front bumper.

Installed marker lights front and rear fenders. Easy install no fender removal necessary. Cheap to replace in the future. Mainly going to be used for working the manual discos.

How much are the hide a steeps and about how low do they fold down. I like them but I'm sitting pretty high with my lift and 38' tires.
[/QUOTE

They drop 4 in and with my 35s it's enough but they feel a lot like getting on a horse. As far as price I got mine on a black friday sale and without that discount I would have never dropped the bucks on them.

Installed side one of three (shipped with missing hardware) JCR molle bedside panels. Mounted my powertank to driver side which may change later. Waiting on JCR half height bed rack for my ROAM rooftop tent.

I have one side panel.
will the rack work with the rolling cover ?
I have rugged ridge, not sure can also attach rack ?

Asked Santa (son, asking for gift ideas) for the Rydonair 13" antenna with red bottom, which will be first mod to new Rubicon - Ace Engineering steps recommended here on order.

Good tip in the Amazon comments section re: the antenna - check for paint on the threads, which could impair reception. Easy to clean off, but might not be obvious.

"I have been a ham radio operator for years and purchased this antenna after watching my new Jeep Rubicon's antenna smack the side of the windshield going through a car wash. When I received the antenna I noticed that the small adapter included with it had paint on the threads that the antenna is connected to. Antenna connections are very similar to electrical connections in that that need a conductive path for the signal to travel through to the antenna. Paint on the threads is an insulator and hurts conductivity greatly. I used a small wire brush and wire wheel to remove the paint from these threads prior to putting everything together. The signal strength is fantastic, in fact I dare say better than the stock antenna. I live just on the edge of the signal radius of my favorite radio station and at home it previously was very weak with lots of static. My signal is now full HD without static. I hope this helps others that have stated poor performance. I gave it 4 stars because of the paint oversight, after the mod I'd give it 5 plus for the price."

Is that big hoop in the way of the tail cam? Looks like it’s probably tall enough to stay out of frame mostly if not all the way.
here’s an update for ya, I think the hoop is a perfect hight.
