Gave the axles and coilovers a good cleaning and hit them with a layer of fluid film. They needed it.

Looks good. Did you just use a pressure washer to clean it?

Had the motivation to do it tonight so I did it before I got lazy lol.

I pressure washed the heavy stuff off at a self car wash the night we got back. I got under there and hand did the rest tonight. Far from 100% clean, but the best it's looked since installation.

Thanks man. Yes, you definitely have to get to HF for sure. Sub to some of the Texas and Houston threads...when there's a run, it's almost always posted up there.

Will do. I was going to go to the one in October but we ended up having to be in Colorado when it was going on.

Waiting for these 35s to wear out. Once that happens, the rig is going into a full makeover [emoji41]

That's a great idea!

Retorqued all control arms today.

- front lowers were good
- front uppers needed about a quarter turn
- rear lowers were good
- rear uppers needed more than a full rotation of torque

I'm using this thread as more than just a build thread with jeep pictures. So here are some pictures from my wife and my trip this week to Greenville SC and Asheville NC. Absolutely amazing scenery out there. Breathtaking to say the least.
