The upgrades begin for when the time comes for 37s. The time came for updating the front driveshaft this week. I noticed that the stock one was starting to sling some grease. I'm just happy it made it for over 30,000 miles. I ended up going with the Adams 1350 so that I wouldn't have any worries with 37s.
Who knows maybe even 40s someday 
the install went good thanks to a friend who helped me along the way. Here's a few snaps
My friend was also kind enough to give me a sweet gift. Some evo c gussets due to his upgrade to Dynatrac axles!
I would like to get these installed asap but I don't know who I'd trust around my area so I'm guessing it'll be by Trail Jeeps when I head out there when I get 37s and a few other goodies.

How do you like the AEV lift?

It's a stiff ride. You'll feel about every bump in the road expecially if you have a lot of air in your tires. It sits pretty good though if you need to make a quick move at highway speeds.

So thanks to a friend of mine for letting me use his heated garage and tools. I forgot to add these pictures while I installed my driveshaft and he just sent them to me. Here's his jeep and mine.
And here's a lovely picture of just how supporting my wife is lol
I told her my neck was getting tired from holding it up so she was kind enough to give her foot for a little headrest lol

With the help of a good friend I was able to FINALLY get my Rigid cubes installed on my jeep last night after they have been sitting in my basement for months. The install went pretty smoothly and I'm happy with the way it turned out. My buddy assembled a nice set up following the wayatekwire DIY spod and it's a pretty nice set up.

I ran a wire back to my tire carrier where I mounted 2 rigid cubes on my AEV tire carrier. View attachment 187922 View attachment 187920 And the front bracket. I went with the rigid industries dual mount. A spot and a flood pattern.
We went with the Daystar switch panel that my buddy cut out of my head panel and attached it by the rear view mirror.
Here's some pics of the finished product.
it sure is nice to back up with these lights at night.

Well with the snow blowing real hard it was difficult to tell. The light just reflected back at us. So tonight I'll probly take it for a drive and see how they do.

Got myself prepared this summer for a sudden storm while the top and doors are off. This Bestop cover should do the trick! :thumbup:

You need to isolate it better so it won't rattle.

I actually left my doors and top on that day so I wasn't able to test her out. Cozdude let me know on my instagram page that it works really well, but as soon as I encounter some rain I'll let ya know how it did :thumbup:

You'll definitely like the AEV tire carrier. A few tweaks of it and you won't hear a rattle from back there.
Thanks guys! The granite is for sure an awesome color! Silver or dark gray are my favorite colors so it was a tough decision on which one to get. I'm saving up for some big upgrades but I probly won't have them on till next summer.
Really liking them tow hooks being black 8POUND, I need to get that dang red off of mine but I'm too lazy lol
