You've got to be closer and more accurate with them. The majority don't know how to use an extinguisher. I'm just not a fan.

I'm not a fan of them. I work in the industrial fire protection world. I've done a ton of research on them.

Installed a second fire extinguisher at my feet. The DV8 bracket is well made. We had a brake caliper on another JKU last trip out hang and catch fire on the way back to the campground. Luckily my brother didn't have his top on and was able to grab his quickly. Mine was under my TrekTop...

And a flashlight.

I believe the 2016 got the factory upgraded cooler.

What year? The upgraded the newer JK's. You can tell by looking. If you see aluminum it's upgraded.

You can do all of that with simple hand tools. In a long Saturday. Have you ever or has the oil cooler been replaced?

It moves the track bar to its correct angle. The adjustable bar is what will center the axle.

You will want both. A bracket alone won't center the axle.

Installed a set of Redline Tuning hood struts. They were not the cheapest on the market but I liked how they installed better than any other brand. They are no drill and takes about 10 minutes to install. They hold the hood open a bit farther than the hood prop. They also have a quick disconnect...

Unpackaged the Wilwood calipers to see what I needed for brake lines. I'll be ordering some custom ones to either go to an AN fitting or an 1/8" port on the caliper. This Busted Knuckle kit is on my brothers JKU Dana 60 and it stops on a dime with 43's. They are super light; yes that is 3.19...

You'll be back here complaining about it. The noise never goes away. It doesn't just magically stop ratcheting.

Are you going to drive it? If so you want a selectable locker. A lunchbox will stay locked all the time and you'll eat through tires. When turning, the inside tire spins slower. With a lunchbox locker, it will not and it will scrub the tire. And your turning radius will suffer.

Swapped out the lower panel in the dash. Since I swapped in my PRP seats and use the Auxbeam to control their heating feature, I didn't need the OEM heated seat buttons anymore. It's my OCD that wanted it to change. Now it matches my '12 that I daily.
