Green Bay TJ's JK

I like those rims! Much better than the steelies!!! Good job!!!

I figure that must be what is on the 2013 Rubicons. Probably take-offs when people buy new jeeps and got to larger tires that require rims with less backspacing. The rims do look nicer than my old ones. Can't complain when I'm getting virtually new tires and a set of rims for what new tires alone would cost.

Nice! A leak...have no idea what caused that

Had the Riddler cover installed several weeks back, and it still leaks. Just put in about a quart of lube tonight (not counting what ended up dripping down my hand and onto the A/O wristband). So now it does not sound quite like an aircraft engine winding up when I get to 40 MPH (yeah, probably did something to a rear wheel bearing when a quart of lube leaked out). Anyway I did a back crawl under the rear axle to get a good look. Did not see an obvious houseing crack. Also did not see a bead of RTV between the bottom two bolts - you know, the stuff that oozes out between the housing and the diff cover. Just see the green glow of lube oozing out between what looks like a metal-to-metal seal. I guess time for a lube locker.

Very nice!!

Haha - excellent! Love the plates!!

Gave into temptation and bought the Bushwacker flatties. Got the front pair installed in time for the Father's Day show. First side took 3-1/2 hours (in the rain last night, following the tornado watch, fun); 2nd side took 90 minutes. Was easier than the kit for the TJ I installed a year or so ago, but definitely need to do the install in daylight. Will probably install the rear pair in a month or two.

Jeff, your Jeep is really looking good. As far as the rear end leak as you mentioned, use the lube locker. I swear by those gaskets.

I put the lube locker in the back as couple weeks ago.  Think that fixed it, except I hope I did not over-torque 2 of the screws (wrench never "clicked" so I stopped I hope before stretching the screw too far).  I'll have to put in the front lubelocker sometime.

Lookin good there.

Very nice   Good work!!!

Some of the mods you can't see.
1.  Teraflex heavy duty hinge and adjustable tire carrier - installed the carrier after the stock carrier cracked, posted a picture elsewhere on the forum. Can't really see with the spare in place.
2.  Just had a RSE external sleeve and C-gussets installed.  Cost less to install than I thought.  Also ended up getting the ball joints replaced under warranty.
3.  Steering stabilizer relocated up above the tie rod using Synergy brackets.
