Moved the mirrors back to the doors.

Replaced antenna with Trail Rated badge.

Hardtop goes on tomorrow.

 

yea it took all of 10 minutes to do and looks sssssssooooooo much better from the rear.

 

YES, looks very firm.

 

I washed it

 

Installed rear break extention lines

 

Oh yeah and didn't use the bleeder kit. I did get a clear tubing at an local aoto parts store and a plastic bowl. kinda work the same

 

How did it smell after you started up the engine, youk and for how long?

 

The passenger side bolts were stripped, what a super pain for such a simple job. I miss the step already, I didn't realize how much I use it when I'm stepping out of the jeep.

I bought the rails off of ebay, must have been back in january or february.

 

I upgraded from the stripper stock X 16" steel wheels

To a pristine set of Sahara 18" with 16,000 mi Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts

The donor Sahara is an 07 and my X Unlimited is an 08, but the TPM senders swapped OK.
It seems to drive about the same, maybe a little down on power, but I was pulling my trailer
into a headwind this afternoon, so its hard to tell. Overall, the extra inch of ground clearance
made the swap well worth it for me.

 

Looks great, Mel! Glad you like 'em.

And I enjoy the extra room in my garage!
