Well, we have now a cluster of stuff on this Jeep! Today... Added Metal Cloak front 2.5" springs, so we got rid of the Teraflex 2.5" spacers on the front. I then added a full set of stock Rubicon shocks I had as takeoff's, and on the rear of this Jeep we slapped a set of Mopar #59 rear coils on top of the Teraflex rear spacers, and Teraflex rear lower control arms.

So now we have Teraflex front and rear lower control arms, Teraflex front and rear Swaybars, Teraflex Speed Bumps, Teraflex shock extenders, and Metal Cloak Front springs.

Ride is awesome, smooth, and looks right.

Really not sure, just got back into the Jeep side of things last year. So really not sure on how long Teraflex has had Swaybar out for. Sorry, wish I could be more help on that.

Well, found a few more weak points in the JKU on Saturday. Took it out to a Big Creek Off-Road Training Center event, and came back with a trashed transmission crossmember, bent steering stabilizer, bent tie-rod, and a transfer case and fuel tank skid that looks like they have been through a WAR!

So now for some more upgrades.... Oh, and I need a synthetic winch line... pulling that steel cable stunk..

3677 mile on the odo, so I'm moving right along with destroying a perfectly nice new Jeep.. LOL

Man, I've been busy prepping for the upcoming Vermont Overland Trophy in 2018.

I feel like I have dropped the ball on this post, but will try and update it.

As of today,

-ARB Front and Rear Lockers
-G/2 Front Dana 44 with 4-deg caster built into it.
-G/2 4.56 gears
-G/2 rear axles and cover
-Metal Cloak 3.5" Gamechanger with Bilstein 5160 shocks
-Metal Cloak complete UnderCloak Skid System
-ProComp MT 35" tires
-ProComp Bead Locks
-Work lights on the Gobi Rack by Baja Designs
-Poison Spyder Trail Cage (under constrution as I type this... just a bit cold outside to complete it)
-custom Low Pro rear drawer system
-AEV Snorkle

I have also ditched the Teraflex rear sway bar due to tire rubbing issues, and reinstalled the factory one.

I will upload pictures soon
