That’s great to hear. Definitely will be hitting you guys up once I’m in a position for the jeep to be down for a while. The front 3 link I could handle, the rear… that’s a bit above my pay grade.
It was really fucking bad in Utah. It hasn’t been as bad here in SoCal but I still see dashboards covered in them.
The fact that you can actually buy legit mounts to shove up rubber ducks asses tells me that someone had figured out how to capitalize on the worst Jeep trend since angry grills...
Man so true. The best years are 05-11 if you want to stick with the SD/sterling combo. And yeah… locating them is by far the easiest and cheapest part 🤣🤣🤣.

What really adds up are the lockers and gears etc. but once that’s handled, it’s really just a matter of bolting them in and dealing with the setup. That being...

That being said, cutting those fucking brackets off is hands down the worst part...
As someone who is still working through a SD60/Sterling swap I can say this kit is gonna be a game changer for a lot of people. I’ve spent nearly $1000 alone just in tools and consumables cutting off all the casting and brackets and shit from the from SD60, not to mention the hours upon hours...
I don’t have any personal experience with ANY of the JL systems but have wheeled with enough to see than when they fail, it’s a major drama. That being said regardless of which motor it’s attached to, if you’re serious about wheeling and you’re going to be on anything bigger than a 35 and...
