I'd let my 14 year old do it unsupervised. It was literally that easy. The only issue I had was that the instructions call for you to install the hinge bumpers before mounting the hinges to the body. If your kit included the new bicycle brake pad hinge bumper.. Skip it and install them when everything is done. You won't be able to reach the outermost torx screw if you install them as per the instructions. Also get the extended torx bit. Maybe I got lucky but by being able to have those outer screws on the hinge tightened, all I had to do was open the tailgate, tighten the inner torx screws on the hinges and it lined right up.

I also used a little fluid film to press the bushings into the carrier side hinge. Made them go in nice and easy.

Nice, thank you, did you paint behind the hinges?

Those are nice, it could be camera angle but they look like they could be a little longer

Your right it’s not the camera angle, they are at the max length for a 0-2” lift on my 1.5” EVO leveling kit. They are within the +-5 degrees as per JKS instructions but I would like them a little longer. I’m going to contact JKS on Monday and see what they say or can do for me.

If you go to their site and look at those sway bar links you can click on a parts list and see which part it is that makes them longer. Their parts are pretty reasonable if they won’t help you out

Rst8rox, looks badass. What diff covers are those and do they come in a sterling 10.5 [emoji848]

Just had my tires pulled off the wheels, the stupid beads sucked out from the previous owner, and rebalanced. But that seems to have fixed my awful steering wobble.

Thanks IEatMud!! It’s a Sterling... with a shave kit/cover from ballistic. So far it seems to be made/installed/welded well. The ground clearance gain is incredible.

I was thinking the same thing. If the sway bar is angled down, it could cause a problem with binding when at full droop

Those are quick disconnects,if you don’t have a Rubicon you most likely bought them to disconnect on the trail. I doubt it will cause problems on the street, you won’t be flexing your Jeep out that much at the mall 🤪

Lol! This is true and mine is a sport, but you never know when there is going to be a tall curb. Lol thanks for your insight.

I got a Evo antenna mount, doorless mirrors, and finally some stickers.

Now I need to fix the speed sensor issue. Got a Mopar replacement connector to install and see if that fixes it.

I haven't seen an end like this one before, do I need anything special to hook it up to an antenna?

That coaxial looks like the Firestik Firering. All you have to do to connect it is run a bolt into the antenna stud. There is a specific connection for it.

JKU Rear Seat Delete!

I used 3/4" plywood with a unistrut frame. I applied moisture barrier foam mat under the black auto carpet. I fabricated the frame to use the seat bolt holes. It's super strong, I'm stoked!
