Front and rear rotors and pads, Bilstein 5100's and a teraflex sway bar disco. All put on. Not great pics and will get a flex pic eventually. I have to check my front brake line length to make sure it will make it.

It wasn't to bad, took a little longer than I had hoped. I removed the hood and had to work on the floor, no real workspace at my house. Using the angle grinder to cut the holes in the hood was the most stressful for me. Never used one before, and it was really easy to cut through the hood and bracing underneath. Also when you are doing the final installation don't tighten the bolts to tight, really easy to deform the hood and make it look wavy.
I have read of guys installing this in 3 to 6 hours, I could see that if you had experience with the angle grinder and had a proper work bench to work on. Mine took so long, my wife had to drive the Jeep to the store with no hood. She was not happy.

I ordered 35" Treadwright tires, installed a Tuffy hood lock, installed a Smittybilt oversized tire carrier, and tinkered with my new FlashCal. I should be getting the tires this week and having them mounted over the weekend.

The monitor is a tricky one to mount as I have too many gadgets and real estate in cab is at a premium! I plan to shift my CB over to the left a tad to accommodate it, which is mounted above the review mirror. Seems to make sense to have the mirror and camera monitor side by side, if possible. Have also got a Rigid Industries Dually arriving today which will be a rear work and reversing light to compliment the two KC reversing lights I already have mounted by the license plate. The Dually is going just above the spare wheel and should fill the light gap nicely. The Delta Light Bar should arrive tomorrow, too and a few other small bits. Should be a good week!!
