Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

Yeah would be the smart thing to do. Do you have any worries of the spacers going out? I've read a few bits on them failing, course I guess everything fails eventually.

Actually the install manual for the rocker knockers give you instructions to trim the rear pinch seam for bigger tires. Awesome! Go poison spyder!!!
Could you post up their write up? Is it any different from the one listed on here?

Installed the grade 8 bolt kit from Northridge. Paranoia got the best of me. Better safe than sorry.

Swapped out the factory headlights & fog lights.

Got some led 7"round universals off of Ebay and found some pl-203w pilot fog/driving lights. Cause its a 2010 I needed to put in relay w/primary juice coming from the battery. I was psyched I was able to get the factory housing to work with the new fog lights. Makes adjusting easy. Way more light across the board.

If you don't mind me asking, how much does this kit cost?

about 50 bucks shipped. Nice kit too. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Part number is NORGRADE8

No worries here. I just followed spidertrax's instructions and used the supplied lock tight on the threads and torqued all the lugs to 95ft/lbs, installed wheels, then torqued those lugs to 95 also. Then drove it around for a while and checked the torque on the spacers again and they were good. I have put 22k miles on them so far with 37's and had zero failures
Plus, I usually haul a$$ through the desert, drive up to 100+mph on freeway and take it rockcrawling on the weekends
