Your wife is a trooper. I did the Elite install myself and "a bit of trouble lining up the eight bolts" doesn't begin to describe it.

It took a while but I am impressed with the result. I can't wait to drop the Engo 10K inside. I hope that part of the install goes a bit better.

Today I spooled my new 3/8" synthetic rope(thank you jeepswag, awesome transaction) onto my newly rebuilt 35yr old warn 8274(140'!!!!). Then I slapped on the factor 55 pro link to see if it fit! Now just waiting for the warn mount to show up to actually install her into my jku! Tried to upload a photo... No luck:-(

Installed s-Pod. Awesome. Easy install... But took several hours to unwire all my previous crap and re-run all the wiring. But well worth it!

Errors updating photos?!? Will post it later

Pure Jeep truss, Artec raised track bar bracket, tacked welded u-joint caps, flipped drag link, welded tabs on my tie rod, and finally installed my DIY hydro assist. Still waiting on a 7/8" knuckle insert and my Alloy ball joints, than she'll be ready to drive again.

Nice hydro assist. Where can I buy one???

You can get a rebuilt box from Summitt and tap it for the hydro line. Tractor supply sells the ram and only other thing you need is a welder to weld the ram in place. Or you can buy one from redneck ram or PSC.
