Had my red hi-lift from my black TJ. My JK is blue so I disassembled sanded and repainted it to grey. I was off from work and it was a cheap time consuming project so I said what the heck. Here is what it looks like.

And the black daystar isolator is on the way.

Yeah seemed like every bolt I tried to remove in the rear was rusted solid. I'm exhausted as I was trying like heck to not break the bolts. Air gun wouldn't work pry bar. Wife wasn't happy as I said max 10 hrs but after awhile she just started to bring my coffee as I was working on until 3 am one morning. Funny thing is I can tear them off and put them on so much faster now.
Something like adjusting the centering of the steering wheel took like 1.5 hours to get the friggen rod to finally turn. Overall I went through 3 cans of pb blaster.
I had to use a grinding wheel to cut the front links off as one was so bad You couldn't see the thread.

Blacklisted 4" springs
Currie Adj arms Uppers and lowers
JKS Adj Track bars Front and Rear
OME Long Travel Shocks
Superlift heavy duty steering stabilizer with relocation bracket
Teraflex Bumpstops and quick disconnects
Currie links in rear and teraflex in front.
All I can say is 28hrs later and it's all together finally. I even had to use a cutting wheel to take the sway bar link off the front.

I just put in my door sills. Waiting on my LoD bumper so I can install my Superinch 9.0EPi winch that is in the garage. Should be here at the end of next week.
