First addition to the Willys is a tonneau cover. The listing said made in the USA but I don’t see that spelled out anywhere. Install was ridiculously easy. I didn’t want to invest too much as I may eventually go to a softopper. At $225, it fits the bill.

Yeah, I feel like it would add a lot of functionality. I’m just on a tight budget and I gotta try to get this thing trailworthy by June because I had signed up for a jeep festival when I still had my jk.

Can’t even properly try on different shoes because my lug nuts are backordered [emoji849]. Those stock lug nuts are p.h.a.t.

Definitely make sure and use the correct lug nuts. I had an issue with incorrect ones on the rear:

Discount Tire may stock the lug nuts. Sucks to wait if you're itching to get the tires on.

This is like this on so many things, both commercial and consumer. The next adventure begins when the shit ships - I had an entire semi trailer awol for a week! No one knew where it was.
UPS/FedEx/USPS are no longer reliable either.

How bout that. Sometimes parts you need are already laying on the floor of your garage.
It seems the same driveshaft can be used on a 12-18 JK, 18-21 JL, and 20-21 JT.

Finished the AEV 2” spacer lift install yesterday. Oddly, the front springs seemed to go back in easier than the rears. I feel like it was the opposite on all my JKs. It is a pain in the D to mount the front passenger side bumpstop on these things. Made me long for the days of drilling and tapping the perch.
