3) Check your evaporative canister skid plate. You will need to move this over to prevent contact with the rear drive shaft during suspension articulation (or else you will rip the rubber boot on the driveshaft)

I think Branman confirmed he replaced both f/r driveshafts with aftermarket CV ones so this shouldn't be an issue.
 
Finished my CB install, It is tight but works well until the sports cage goes in.

Was rubbing the front bumper pretty bad when flexed so I made a Stubby as a temp fix until I get my Quarter Pounder

No mods to the jeep but had to mod the garage bit to get it to fit.

Plenty of room! Had to relocate the opener and take the top off

Like a glove :rock: I have to back in because the wind shield won't clear, if that gives you an idea of what I had to work with.

Having a garage is nice. Especially when you leave the top off for long periods. I can't wait til mine looks similar to yours.

I'm glad I ended up going with the 3" enforcer. I don't have much clearance to get in my garage. I got spooled parking in the garage. This is my dd so leaving the top down is not an option.
 
Did you buy or make that one i have seen some cool builds on them?

Thats funny you asked that, I bought this one, I was in a time crunch for a little overlanding trip this week and didn't think I could get one in time, I did consider just getting a grommet kit and some garden shade and just make one. :thumb:
 
I wanted to trade my anvil top for a black top also. But the wife said she like the anvil top, so looks like i'll be keeping it lol :doh:

Thats funny my girl friend likes this top better. Not sure how she will feel about the trex top coming soon.
 
Oil Pan Skid is in :thumb:

One tool that is not on the list is small hands! :doh: The one bolt above the tranny skip tab is a biatch!
