:rockon: nice pics on your build 👍 Rusty, you have been busy! It’s looking good! Would you linex the rock rails again? Your thoughts on the diesel,,,front end weight? Torque on driveline components? If I didn't off road. The LineX on the rails would be good. Thinking now. I would have been better o...

Gee, you hardly got anything done. I thought you would be further along now....lol.

I'm a lot farther along then you think.

Some videos from Rausch Creek.

For some reason. I can't post videos anymore. What's change?

The White Knuckle sliders did their job. They got landed on from a 3ft drop. The Line-x coating got peeled off in a few spots.

The suspension skid plates got kissed.

little trail damage from Rausch Creek.

The Diff covers

Got the DesertDoesIt Shorty Front Seat Jackers installed today. Had to trim the carpet a little so that the mounts sit flush with the metal floor. After install, I found that I had to move my seat forward a few clicks.

For Father's Day. My daughter got me a BulletPoint Mounting Solutions RubiGrid.

Couple of pic's from Rausch Creek.

Nothing like being a turtle. High centered. Got stuck 3 times that day. High centered each time.

Sprayed inside the frame rails with 3M Cavity Wax. Ordered 5 cans. Used 4 cans. It goes quick. Used the 30" wand for everything. After I gone done. It was dripping out. Think it will take a while for it to firm up.

The red paint is plastic dip.

And all together.

Got the Rock Hard FAD skid plate installed. It was a PITA to install with the other Rock Hard front lower control skid plate installed. They both wanted the same piece of estate. Had cut a corner off of the FAD skid plate and grind some off of the control arm skid plate. Painted it red too.

Got the Rock Hard front control arm rear mount skid plates on. Real easy. Remove the nut on the inside. Install the skid plate and nut. Torque to 190 ftlbs. I painted them red too.

Today, I opened up the hood vents. Took all of 30 minutes. Used a 4" cut-off wheel on a die grinder and a small air powered belt sander. Still have to get a roll of silver HVAC tape to seal out the edges of the underhood insulation.

Got my AJT Design Key Fob today. Bit of a pita to do. I made a label with Jeep on it to put on the back side of it.

The White Knuckle sliders are on. These things are beefy, and heavy. Took a while to put them on.

The Dana Diff covers are on. The oem gasket is reusable.

Got my White knuckle sliders back from being Line-Xed. Now have to wait for the monsoon season to quit to install them.

Got the front lower control arm axle side skid plates from Rock Hard install. They are side specific. The hook goes to the outside, toward tire. The driver side went on with no problems. The passenger side had issues. I had to notch the skid plate for the FAD to clear the nut. Plus I painted them wi...

Finally got the Metalcloak rear sway bay supports.

The White Knuckle sliders came. They are BEEFY. About 80lbs a side. Now to get them Line-Xed.

Was a Beta tester for Clayton front springs. Got the proto Clayton springs installed today too. The stock spring measure 17" tall. The Clayton's measure 18" tall. Both have the same number of coils at 9. The wire diameter for the stock spring is 0.593. For the Clayton's is 0.553. The Clayton springs...

My Steer Smarts steering bracket came in today from Northridge. Got it installed. The wire they talk about in the video's that has to be relocated. I didn't have that.

My Rock Hard skid plates for the lower control arms and rear lower shock mounts came in. I need some good weather to install all of this stuff.

1st and 2nd pic's are the front lower control arm skid plates. The 3rd pic's are the rear control arm and shock skid plates.

My Rusty's Offroad skid plates for the rear lower control arm frame mount came in. They're beefy. 1/4" thick. They come bare, so I sprayed them with spray bedliner. Makes it easier to touch up.
