I'm looking hard at the getting a Front Runner Rack for my JK as well. I noticed that yours has been removed in your later pictures. Are you unhappy with it? What's your overall impression?
Btw - I've got XRC Armor on my four corners as well.

Hey, I haven't been around here in a while. I do like the Front Runner rack system a lot, but I only use it on trips. I may be downsizing, so PM me if you are still in the market for one.

I made a few upgrades to the JK since the last time I visited this thread. Just installed a 2.5" OME HD lift with 37" MTR's and a Trektop NX. I also ordered a set of short body Bilstein 7100's and parts to build a custom 3-link front and rear. Stay tuned for the install.

Ditched the ARB bumper in lieu of an Expedition One DX. While I was there, I cut 3.5" off the frame and replaced the remote disco for an AR sway. I picked up about 4" of ground clearance and about 5" on the front.

Haven't checked in since doing my 3-link long arm
Pulled the front axle and did all new ball joints, steering arms and an Artec truss.
Fab'd up some control arms
6.5" up-tavel with 12" front shocks, 2.5" lift and 37's - Had to notch the frame to clear the lower CA's
Burned in the front upper mount.
Welded in the front shock mounts

Went through a few iterations on the front. Started off with 1.5"x.250 wall DOM with a bent drag link for my Fox steering damper, the decided to eliminate the damper and go with a straight drag link, then upgraded to 7075 links and put the DOM on my 2007 Rubicon.
I have the original drag link for sale if anyone is interested. Just need to buy 1-ton TRE's
