Mounted up the Black AEV Pintlers and BFG A/T's, and got the JW Speaker LED Fog Lights installed with the Nemesis Brakets. I redid both the JW and Jeep harness with Delphi Weatherpack Plugs. The AEV lift and other suspension/steering components will go on this weekend. Hopefully, I'll get the AEV Heat Reduction Hood fitted and painted next week. Here are some pics...

Got the Mag-Lite mounting brackets mounted up to the side of the drivers seat. Didn't get the holes drilled perfectly straight but I made the holes a little oversized so there was enough play to get the brackets straight. Went with a 3 Cell LED Mag-Lite. Happy with it. Had to raise the seat up just a bit for the side stitching of the seat to completely clear the Mag-Lite mounting bracket to prevent slight rubbing that may have eventually wore the side of the AEV F1 leather (vinyl side).
Also, fixed the fast blinking on the passenger side front Go Recon LED turn signal. The instructions for the relay tell you to mount the relay and connect it to the positive and negative wire on each side but this caused one side (passenger side) to still blink fast. I contacted Go Recon and they told me to (on one side) disconnect the wire off the ground wire and ground it to the vehicle chassis. I did that and all good!
Going to put the soft top back on possibly tomorrow, and at the same time install the Bestop Quick Release Bow Knuckles, another item the Jeep should have come with from the factory.
I ordered a shorter Firestik CB antenna (2 footer) and SS Spring. I'm not using the Cool Tech LLC Ultra Mount. Instead, I'm using the post on the top of the AEV Tire Carrier. I also have a quick disconnect so I can remove the CB Antenna when not needed.
I need to drop off the AEV Heat Reduction Hood to the body shop for paint and installation. I'll do that before Friday so it can get done while I'm out of town next week. Can't wait!
Lastly, I'm gonna sell my AEV Snorkel (2007-2011 version) and wait for AEV to eventually release the 2012-up version. If anyone is interested, PM me. It's brand new, never installed.
