Changed my plugs for the first time...what a pain in the arsch!! I took the advice of someone on this forum and started with the worst (passenger rear plug) and by the time I got to the driver's side, it was my reward. 
Every plug was gapped different and was a slightly different color...put in some E3's, noticed a definite better throttle response, but I'm not sure I'd attribute that to the E3's or to the fact that I simply have plugs all gapped the same now...time will tell!

Smittybuilt Tire Carrier Mod
My friend and I took a day to weld a Gerry can holder and toolbox holder to my Smittybuilt tire carrier.
The Tool box is an ammo box that was used to carry 5.56mm chain link rounds. Gerry can is a CDN military 20L gas can

cleaned it finally, also got my new spare in and mounted.
not sure why they look way bigger mounted on the spare carrier...
oh thats because the tards sent me a 10" rim instead of the 8" i paid for. ORO plate holder/light will be here tuesday.
also removed all the stickers. as soon as someone will sell me some used 2dr rubi rails i'll put a project jk.com sticker on there.
and of course had to add a sticker with my motto on it.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing...I'll have to look into the bar, are the wires all run through it? Currently mine is mounted on the header but I'd like to mount it some other way.

On mine, its bolted onto the header bar.
Removed the Freedom Top, drilled the mount holes and replaced the top.
And yes the wiring does run thru the inside of the bar itself.
It has a hole in the middle to run the wires out for the radio.
Kit includes everything to install it. Bolts, wiring, fuse, and instructions.
Hope this helps.

This week I got some bigger tires & a lift.
2.5" TeraFlex coils and Shocks
35x12.5 Mickey Thompson MTZ
Here is a picture showing the increased wheel travel. As noted by others, the brake lines are the limiting factor in the front.
Overall I am happy with the ride quality, and braking distance is dramatically improved with the MTZ's....hang on to your teeth - wow.
