Just drove the Rubi 550 miles round trip to take my son to sleep away camp. Both did great. Going up I didn't use cruise control and managed to get 20 MPG!!! Coming back I used it more and also had some traffic bringing my 550 MPG down to 18 total. Not bad!
Here's a great shot that I guess I can also post in the "Show off your Rubicon" thread.

I striped my jeep down last weekend and sprayed in Upol Raptor bed liner. It came out great. Line x dealer wanted $1000 to spray a four door.....That's with me doing all the work striping it out. So for about $130 i sprayed it myself. The prep/taping time took the longest. You get a much better coat spraying and it looks like line x, with a smoother finish. The coat is hard not rubbery.

Teraflex Front Lowers and Rear Upper CA's!!
Well I got off of work this moring and got to work on installing my control arms. Front Lowers were and piece of cake, and I used the idea of just rocking the tire to get the bolt holes aligned. From the beginning I was just going to live with some "flightiness", but I pulled the trigger on the Teraflex arms to go with my lift. I set the arms to what Teraflex calls for and went from there. I found a huge difference between running my stock arms and these. No more flightiness or loose steering at all. The Jeep now feels solid once again and rides great. I also installed some TF rear uppers too, a little bit more time consuming, but it was manageable. Also looks like I got my castor and pinion back in place.
The only thing I am somewhat concerned with now is my rear sway bar links, they look to be touching the rear bumpstops and axle frame. I am guessing this is because the axle was shifted on it's axis to the rear.
Here are the pics:
