Well I spent about 3 hours tonight in a friends garage working on the JK.
The wheels were rubbing on the caliper a little too much so I ground them down.
Also installed my JKS quicker disconnects, and some other odds and ends.
Here's a shot I took this morning and another one of the caliper after grinding.

Careful with your Quick Disconnects there Seth, mine were installed fine but when they are disconnected, they tend to stick out just a tad far out to the point if I cut the wheel the rod may go right into the tire. I would say bring a set of wire tires on the trail for you, and wire tie them so you won't run into this problem.

I'd meet up but standing around in freezing weather isn't too much fun.
Thanks for all the compliments, I'm pretty happy with how the JK is coming along.
I will definitely keep an eye on the disconcerts.
Got the tires from Goodyear in Commack. Like I said $195 per tire plus an additional $22.50 per tire for the road hazard. Turns out they also had a mail in rebate for $160 as long as I financed it on their card. (I'll pay and cancel as soon as the bill comes.)
Also, I saw a guy on Sunrise Hywy Eastbound in the Patchogue area. He had an unlimited with the Hard Trek Top. Real cool looking in person. Maybe we'll see him around here soon.
