After wheeling this weekend I realized that the other day that I ramped the tuck, I hadn't disconnected the sway bar. So I run back down to 4Wheel Parts to ramp it. I also wanted to check a couple of potential issues. It ramped quite a bit more than the other day.
Discovered I had hammered the steering stabilizer. Will have to get some clearance mounts.
Also discovered that rear drive shaft flange rubs on the TJM fuel tank skid. Not a big deal because it's smooth on smooth so it will wear itself clear. I may break out the BFH and help add some clearance.
Other than that, all looks great. Skids did their job protecting everything. Especially the EVO exhaust crossover skid. Had I not had it, I would probably have a crushed tube.

After having crushed my OEM steering stabilizer on my last outing, I've decided to upgrade as well as raise it out of the way to avoid it from happening again.
I went with the Teraflex steering stabilizer. I like it because it does the job well. I had it in my 09 JK. I also like that it's plain black and not some funky flashy colors that stick out like a sore thumb. I went with the Rubicon Express relocation bracket. I chose it because it was one of the few that didn't place it too high, which creates an undesirable angle. I kept the one on the steering for now, but will look for another that will place it more parallel.
