Shrockworks stubby, 14 short weeks!
I'd been waiting a while, but worth it. My wife ordered this for my birthday, what a great gift. I think that the Anthracite matches the AEV argent pintlers really well. Now the wait begins for the rear bumper, that is the wait to order one to wait some more; hey, its Shrockworks, I'm okay waiting. The install was real easy.

Sure, it's just a 5lb bottle in my 2 door Rubicon, but it mounts so quick and easy (seriously, I spent more time looking for the 7/32" hex socket than mounting it!) with the large roll bar clamps that I think I'm going to put the spare 5lb on the other side.
Didn't even have to trim any of the rigid foam under the roll bar cover, the two upper roll bar clamps fit perfectly in the space between the seat belt retractor and the start of the rigid foam, one under the cover (use thinnest rubber inserts) and one over the cover (no inserts needed). It's solid as a rock, you can rock the whole Jeep easily with it with no motion. And it easily clears everything, no rubbing on the seat when it's flipped forward/backward.
Gone is the pain in the ass of airing up the Toyos after off-roading with some POS electric compressor.
This sucker is quick quick quick. And the 25 foot coiled hose easily reaches all tires.
It has filled all four of the Toyo 35X12.5X17 tires from 12 psi to 26 psi 3 times but then there's not much left, about a tire and a half.
Time to swap out the first bottle with the second.

Installed an Airaid intake
Had the tranny R&R'd for a new TO bearing
Which resulted in a new driveshaft as well.

Winch, light bar and frame plug
Finally got the time to put the Bulldog winch in and got the light bar mounted. Also stuck some plastic plugs in those big round holes in the frame up front. Don't know what those holes are for, but I'm sure they were filling up with mud!

I put on these:
RockHard Engine/Oil pan, Transfer case, & Gas Tank Skids,
& hit the rusty spots on some of the frame with some paint.
Now i need to go muddy up the fresh paint,
and dent & scratch the armor up...
There are a few more pics in my gallery if anyone is interested.
Note: Installing these suckers by yourself is not easy, my floorjack got used a LOT.
THe install was simple enough, they are just large & heavy enough to be rather
cumbersome to handle alone.
