Just curious about your switches. It looks like they have blue lighting? For me, the blue light from the switches really mess with my vision at night. Is the light from those switches gonna be in your line-of-sight? I'm not sure how often you'd be locked while doing a night-run, but the light would drive me bonkers if it were in my eyes. [emoji43]

They are blue but I won't be wheeling like that at night, at least I hope not. I also did not hook up the illumination wire, so they don't illuminate unless I turn the lockers on.

Looks good Doug! I use a blue for my driving light button. Does not bug me.

Ah, gotcha. My JKU came factory with some Uconnect button thingy on the dash right next to the speaker on drivers side. It has a blinking blue light on it. It drives me crazy at night. I hate it, never ever use it, but it's still there... reminds me, I wanna remove it and stash it under the dash. It's on my list of things to do....

Damn, blue lights, lockers, low clearance zerks, new axles. Man, you've been busy! Looking good.

Where did you order those low clearance zerks from? And while I'm thinking about it, what battery terminals did you use? (Sorry, my Google skills are a little rusty

)

A blinking light would bug the shit out of me too.

Thanks. Good to be working on this Jeep again. The battery terminals were Sky High Audio. The zerks were from an ebay store:

Thanks, man. Anxious to actually DRIVE the Jeep instead of watch it sit. Need to test all this stuff out.

So have you found that the low clearance zerks accept grease better than the standard ones when installed in the same places??

Haven't used them yet, I'll keep you posted. I did grease the same style on the lower ProSteers, didn't really notice it took more grease or not.

Did some exploring today. Got my sway bar off for the first time since the axle install, and my track bar is hitting the body. Not much, but I'll need to fix that. Pretty weather today and even got to see a moose lounging in the trees.
