What was done to your JK this week?
Installed the Cobra 75 CB and Cooltech mount and while the radio was out for the mount installed the Mopar Uconnect mic for hands free calling. Works great. My original $20 ebay mic died.
Just installed my new Smiitybilt Src rocker guards
. Got them for $220 from 4wd.com with free shipping and 15% on Cyber Monday. Easy as hell to install, 4 bolts that's it. No need for me to grind down any part unlike some others had to do. Post a pic or two later.
finally got my new tires and wheels on today. i put on a teraflex 2.5 coil lift a few weeks back with Viperdave's help, and today put on the 315/75/16 KM2's on procomp 8069's.
Sorry there isnt a better before and after picture. i didnt think about it before i started changing things.

as a side note, i noticed that my roof rack is flexing a lot more (side to side) on these new tires. there was some pretty visible shaking at about 50-60 mph that wasnt there before. im hoping that this is due to the fact that the guys that mounted the tires filled them to about 40psi - maybe when i deflate them some the smoother ride will help with that.

Finally paid off my JEEP....It is free & clear
Purchased it back in March '08...Now just need to re cooperate before getting a suspension lift...Debating whether to get the TeraFlex 2.5" or 3" kit to fit 35s

congrats! see my post above for an example of 35s on a TF 2.5, not that there is a shortage of such examples.
After the getting the lift and tires earlier this week (below), my package from Northridge arrived on Friday and I finished up "phase 1" yesterday and today by adding...
- Superchips Flashpaq. Had some problems with the speedo registering 0 mph at any speed. Finally got the tire size good enough for the speedo to match my GPS.
- Teraflex spare tire carrier bracket. Got this on and then noticed that the stock bumpstops didn't even touch the tire. Oops.
- Staun tire deflators. Now I can BS at the trailhead instead of deflate, check, deflate, check, etc.
- Daystar tailgate bumpstops. Luckily the local 4wheelparts had this in stock. With these, the spare is on there pretty tight.
- Mini rechargeable LED light from the local hardware store. This is a 2-inch rechargeable flashlight that plugs into a 12v accessory outlet (I used the switched outlet on the left side). At $10, this is a neat little light. Now I'll always have a charged flashlight in the Jeep.
