My dad and I did a gear swap, c gussets, and sleeves on my jkur this weekend. Sorry no progress pics but I do have a test drive pic. Friday my wife the dogs and I drove 450 miles to my parent's place and had it all wrapped up for the return trip this morning. Fast and furious weekend!

Started this week out right by getting rid of all 5 of my Rough Country 2.2 shocks, and swap over to front Bilstein 5160's:

And then in addition to rear Bilstein 5160's, I also installed a set of the EVO Rockstar skids to solve the issue I have with all the rocks in Southern California preferring to eat into my rear axles lower control arm and shock mounts:

Also, I installed a Rubicon Electronic Swaybar(going to custom wire it up instead of using the stock harness.. Which isn't done yet), for ease of reconnecting and general forgetfulness as well lol:

Also at the bottom of the first picture, on the table, are the rock lights I'm going to be installing tomorrow(all the wires are ran, as they are to replace the temporary prototype ones I previous installed) And man are they bright! But then again.. I would hope so, as I made them myself, lol. And finally.. Although it hasn't been installed yet either, I'm going to go ahead and count this as well, as I have this puppy scheduled to be installed by ProGear on Thursday morning:

Yeah, it's been an interesting week already lol! Can't wait to put all these shocks, skids, and this Rubi tcase to good use.. And the first offroad event for them: TDS!! Hopefully this tcase doesn't grenade on me like the last one, lol! Fingers crossed!

Car seats for babies dont belong in a Jeep.. Ha Ha!! Who am I kidding.. I love seeing them in Jeeps. There is another dude on here that rolls with his doors off with his boy in a car seat. He said he caught some grief from some lady that said it was unsafe.. I think she was jealous..lol.. Congrats on the new family addition!!!
