[QUOTE="Wayne Reel, post: 421961, member: 17680"] So my wife and I had been back and forth on buying a Jeep for a few years. I wanted a CJ she wanted an JKU. After an unfortunate accident totaling her suburban we compromised and bought exactly what she wanted 🤣. Shortly after it was bought I was ordering parts for it. Finally all the parts came in and it’s been a busy weekend. Oh and I highly recommend the JSCAN app. I’ve used it to shut off the seat belt dinger (it’s aggravating just moving it around) I wear my seatbelt. Set Fog Lights as DRL. Also set fogs to stay on with brights as I have not changed the factory headlights yet and they aren’t great. I need to get it in to the shop to have an alignment done. That’s pretty much the only thing I couldn’t get done myself. I am pretty fortunate to have friends that helped me get this done. Started Friday night at 6:00 pm. Was done around 3:00 pm today. We did stop and sleep for a few hours. Some notes on the RC bumpers. If you get the front winch bumper with the square led fog lights, put them in before you mount the bumper even when the directions don’t tell you to. On the rear bumper you will have to remove your factory hitch receiver. It’s well on its way to leaving soccer mom status behind. For now it will see some small trails and adventure rides. Once it’s paid off it will become more trail rig. Oh and it’s color is called Rhino. [B]Current Changes:[/B] 2017 Sport Unlimited 35x12.50 Extreme M/T Dirty Life Ironman 9300 wheels 17x8.5 -6 offset. 2.5 RC lift. RC dual steering stabilizer RC Bumpers w/spare mount.
