Now I just have to find a place to disconnect them and wheel!

How hard was the install? I am looking at getting the same ones.

Easier than cake. (i've never made a cake) Remove old sway bar links (2 nuts per side) Install new link mounts (2 nuts per side) install new links on new mounts, tighten, grease and enjoy! You can get away with looking at the picture in the directions rather than reading them... that easy

Put on my Vector Offroad Rear UFOs and ditched the factory spare tire bump stops. No more useless rubber cucumbers hanging off my tailgate!

DIY on-board camera mount! Not finished but passed proof-of-concept test drive. Now for fine tuning and clean-up.

Nothing specific other than ensuring the legacy of jeepers are carried on! My son is 18 months and loves riding and playing in the Jeep!

U have seen the Cop 4x4 iPad mount right? It allows forward use of the camera.

Sweet idea! I used my iPhone on our last trip... Steering wheel in one hand, phone in the other. That prompted this idea for dry, hands- free recording. Plus the base is a standard tripod mount so it worked with tons of cameras!

I installed slightly used wheels from a fellow board memeber and a J&K filter.
