What was done to your rig this week?

I've worked for a few companies that had a division that installed light bars on emergency vehicles. Once they went to modern LED I never really saw any with a single light out. I would imagine the flashing is harder on them than just being on constant when used.

Finally finished up. 37s on beadlocks, welded front axle, and 5.13 gears. Only problem is that my driveshaft is hitting my exhaust pipe when the axle is hanging. Guess it’s off to the muffler shop again.

Got the front Dynatrac under the Jeep and control arms connected. I'm going to have to make some upper control arm adjustments, between the built in caster on the Dynatrac and 6 degrees I had dialed in with factory axles I'm above 10 degrees now and my pinion angle is too low.

Got the LOD sliders installed, all 3 optional holes drilled. Thank goodness for a friend with a 90 degree drill.
One thing to note, if you have the 3.6 Etorque engine the drivers side front bolt will need to be installed from the inside. There are 2 cooling lines there that "gently" need to be moved for the bolt insertion.

I left those out, wonder how well a 90* drill attachment would work; they're pretty cheap to buy.

Not done, just begun. Ordered these, and I’ll be swapping out my Sahara 4xe 20 inch stock wheels for proper 33 in tires shortly.

Installed 285/70-17 Falken Wildpeaks on the Black and Tan Edition takeoffs. Replacing the stock 20” wagon wheels and 275/55-20 all season rubber.

I’ quite pleased with the new look, and knowing the jeep is better capable when I want to get off pavement. There is no observable difference in road manners or road noise. New TPMS sensors work perfectly.

Tire Rack Mobile Installation did a perfect job, including knowing the torque specs. I will recalibrate my speedo with Ecri when I have an afternoon to sort it out.

Before and after:
