Yes to the dual sport & correction bracket kit.
I think it rides better than stock on the street. Real test is coming in October when I hit Moab with it.
Driveshaft not modified. Exhaust was moved back about 2" using a teraflex adapter I think...at least that us what guys at Desert Rat said.
I'd say there is about a 1" rake to front with winch on. I thought about some 1" spacers to level it off but going to wait as I am adding the AEV tire carrier and highlift jack to rear bumper. Thinking weight of that may offset winch weight in front.
Thanks, I am really enjoying it. At first I wasn't too keen on the COD theme. I just wanted a factory built AEV Rubicon so to speak, but the COD theme has grown on me and my son thinks its the coolest Jeep ever. (he plays the game. LOL)

AEV Hood
Anyone having issues with standing water on the Hood since the MW3 version of the AEV hood doesn't have the mesh insert? Mines fairly new, but I've got to think that's going to become an issue over time.

Big Fail on the hood with no way to drain itself. Jeep should have used the AEV original designs instead of trying to change everything.
Wait until winter when ice forms in there and comes flying up into your windshield at 60 mph. That will make for an interesting moment...

Yep. Mine sits or I should say sat a lot up until this past Sat when I traded it in. It would stay full of water and then turn to grit from dust, etc after drying up.

I had mine last winter and had ice form up there. No worries though because it would slide right off as soon as I left my parking spot. Most of the time I would just walk by and shove it off. It's not a big deal. As for dust collecting after a rain, I just get it washed. I get unlimited washes for $30 a month so no sweat there either. I do wish they would have stayed with the vented hood like they originally showed, but oh well.

Yeah I got a hair this past weekend and decided it wasn't for me anymore. I change Jeeps more than I do my underwear
I really liked it but couldn't justify the money I was putting out for new mods + payment and getting rid of all of the COD options that were on it. Kind of pointless when all I really had left were the hood and interior...
Also, shaved about 10K off of my loan and went a year less on term so all is good.
Figured it was time to get back to my roots. So say hello to my new little friend
Love your new JKUR btw!
