That may happen and I will keep looking for a stainless black replacement for that.

Finally got some time to work on my jeep!

First, after seeing Johnathan's TF sway bar disconnect brackets I ordered a pair for $22.

Those were installed this weekend.
Wired my heated seats up so now both front seats are heated and accessory powered.
Installed my new leather manual shifter boot and stainless retaining bezel.
Installed my Smittybilt GEAR rear tailgate storage. I put my recovery strap in the large bag but the smaller bag won't hold my first aid kit or my fire extinguisher. I wrote Smittybilt asking them if they carry either of those bags so I can order them.


Ordered the new fitted slush mats from Quadratec as well.
I ordered my 2012 Artic Edition headrests too! (2 weeks out) That was an interesting story...

Sounds like a productive weekend.

So far so good. I'm working through my list. This week I'm welding on a trackbar brace and will test out my bumpstop settings

Where do you test your rig out? Let me know when I'd like to tag along.

Nothing too major. I'll probably hit PC on Saturday and bring some tools to adjust my hydro bump stops so I an ready for the season.

I expect to log in here and see some pictures of this beast having fun on something other than pavement. Isn't there a trip coming up real soon??

I'm in the middle of researching my front coilover conversion and stumbled across a bolt on kit. Anyone heard of or have opinions on the Rebel off road kit? I have a bunch of questions in to them and will post back who I go with and what I do.

I figure this will be my next upgrad - hopefully before my major July run.

My upcoming projects will be:

Headrest conversion to 2012 so my seats are done
Front Coils
AEV Hood
Paint job to Crush
Motor upgrade

Any input on the front coil options would be appreciated!
