Finally got around to installing my MOPAR 2" Lift.

For those wondering if you need to swap out the stock track bar for an adjustable one. Not really. Post install the axle is off 1/8” to the left, that’s with a full gas tank and no passengers. Truth be told I do have a DECKED storage box in the bed ≈200lbs so your results may vary.
I’ll check axel center again in about a week to see if suspension has settled.

Got my swing away tool box mounted. If you get one, take the rake of the truck into account... I mounted the bracket level and surprise, surprise, the damn thing was running uphill so much my bed cover wouldn't close :headbang: It's squared away now and I think I'm really going to like keeping stuff back there and removing some of the stuff under the back seat.

No, just the MOPAR kit.

I will be bolting on an adjustable track bar. I want to let the suspension settle before doing so
I thought the Mopar lift kept the rake. Definitely makes my decision easier if not the case.

Finally had a chance to get my new Rugged Ridge Arcus stubby bumper installed today. Kiddo has been sick all week, so had to keep him out of summer camp and stay home with him. But finally snuck away a few hours.

Very straight forward install, and very happy with the quality of it. Winch plate is beefy, and the actual bumper/shell was beefier than I assumed from pics. Think it turned out great.

Only one hiccup, also had some Diode Dynamic SS3 amber fog lights to install, but I received the wrong bracket that wouldn't work with the bumper. They are sending me a replacement, so will report back once those are on. Nice looking little fog lights though.

And now to decide on which winch, if I even want to install one, or just blank off the opening for now. And yeah yeah, I know it would have made more since to install all at once, but it's only eight easy access bolts to remove the whole bumper cover to access winch plate.

And now a few pics and a shower ha.

2.5" Front/2.0" Rear spacer lift is next woohoo, just need to find the time.

Installed a sunscreen today. Not a big job but mine all the same. Looks good for the price. Headed to beach next month. Was able to reinstall front panels w/o removing screen.

That looks good. Hoping to get my RR Venator bumper installed this weekend.

Added the https://www.oraclelights.com/products/sidetrack?rq=mk_jeep~md_gladiator-jt~yr_2021 but with a twist, body match paint and a bit of orange. they are great for additional side blinkers, but are also wired to the #2 switch to be turned on as needed for side lighting. Also found the https://www.claytonoffroad.com/product/jeep-gladiator-adjustable-rear-track-bar-2020-jt-0 clayton track bar which allows me to fit a Toyo OpenCountry MT 37x13.5 under the bed. it works great!

So you do you, and I do me.
Is the $200 price on the markers you bought, vs. the $40 (ballpark) for AMAZON version worth it?
Asking because I have liked the idea of these since inception, and do not mind paying for quality.
