Joey,
YOu don't need anything special to tighten everything down. Just a bunch of wrenches/sockets. I checked mine after about 100 or so miles and everything was tight.

Oh, but I have developed a clunk. I figured it out: the new steering stablizer relocation bracket is allowing the stabilizer to move a bit. I torqued it down and today the noise is back. I'll recheck all the bolts again. It's the actual bracket moving on the axle, not the shock.

Oh, and BTW, yes, that first scratch hurts. I scratched up my rims pretty good the first time out. But what was worse was the trail pinstriping last time. My Sunburst Orange is so purdy :(

At least my JK isn't black. that would be really bad.

Just ordered my front bumper and winch today. I'm going with the olympic smuggler bumper with end caps (more storage) and an XRC8. Got it all for an even $1000. Not Bad but 2 weeks on the bumper since its being shipped separately from Olympic.

where do you mean?

On mine, I can see the bracket shifting as my son turned the steering wheel. The large bolt shown here was going back and forth:
