definitely X2 here. I do everything myself. Too many stories of mediocre work and costly repairs due to that.

Okay, fixed that problem. I agree it's always better to do it yourself. Unfortunately, I did not have all the necessary equipment/tools to do the job right, and I was being lazy... anyway, my quick 10 min job took about 40 minutes, just 4 bolts in all, however the workspace was small, and my work light burned out, lucky I had a backup... It was neat to see everything that was underneath it though... anyway, cheers!

Edit: So riding around today, it felt much better, the thud was gone and it felt more like it did when it was stock. The track bar bracket was about a inch away from the bump stop, there were a few small indentions where contact was being made...

Correction, I have 3:21 gears...

4.10s are a Rubicon only option.
My JK isn't a Rubicon. It's an X model and came stock with 4.10 gears.

Cool Happy Independence Day!
Today seemed like the perfect day to install my American Flag and Distressed Star decals on my JK... I have a mirrored set on the other side too!

Have not driven it yet, but I'm pretty sure I netted at least 15hp... MERICA!

You will like the inspired engineering lights. They are definitely quality lights.

Are you planning on installing the lights on the windshield? I'm really curious what they would look like installed
