What was done to your JK this week?
Nice shots...
Installed my first lift today with the help of some friends at the auto shop here on the base. Install went pretty smooth, taking around 5 hours. Installed the RK 2.5 Stock Mod with RK RRD 2.0 resi shocks all around and RK 3in bump stops front and rear. Also installed RK rear trac bar and rear sway bar links.
Went with some Method Race Wheels, Mesh 17x9 4.5 backspacing wrapped with some Kumho Road Venture MTs(35x12.5x17).
I am very happy with the way the install went and the ride of the lift shock combo.

I copied someone on here by making a switch plate for my spot lights. This is the second time I made it. The first was with aluminum that was too flexible. This time I used an aluminum bar that I bought from home depot and made it long enough to add future switches if needed. I cut it with a metal blade hack saw and drilled it with a step drill bit from Harbor Freight. Then I filed and sanded it. I attached it with screws and nuts behind the dash. I like how it turned out for the most part but don't like the screw heads sticking out. I tried countersinking them but they are too close to the outside edge. Maybe I'll buy some rounded head screws. I also had a hell of a time pushing the switches into the faceplate. If you look close you can see the plastic tabs sticking out a bit on the tops of the switches. Is there a trick to them not sticking out? <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=592084"/> <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=592085"/>

Finally finished up painting the hard top black. I had painted the T tops a couple months ago and put in the hothead headliners. I could not stand that god awful white interior.
I personally like the white makes it feel more open and brighter than when my soft top is on.
