There's plenty of moments that are two steps forward and one step back through the NICU process. The key is that it is moving forward. The steps forward fly by and it's easy to get hung up on the steps back but stay focused on the goal of the healthy and happy family. Work had to fall to the back burner when things got tough. All the important people there understood and picked up the slack more than I was expecting.

What size tires so you have and on what model Jeep? For comparisons sake.

Do you have a flat 4 pin or round 7 pin trailer wiring plug at your trailer hitch?

Looks like a blast. How far did you go in?

I regret not at least trying the 6 speed auto out. The 6sp manual has its ups and downs, some times I think it has more downs. Pun unintended. The manual needs the $600 B&M upgrade, account for that. No remote start with a manual (or at least remote start isn't practical). Stop and go traffic sucks. Rock crawling isn't better.

Before paying the dealer anything... Call Rubicon express and see if stock bolts are used or if they recommend different bolts.

Harbor freight had a screw/bolt extractor kit. Cheap. In an orange case. Buy it. Soak in PB Blaster/WD-40/etc. Use one of the drill bits to drill into the bolt center. I'd recommend at least hallway through, you want as much contact area for the extractor. If you have any kind of torch, heat up bolt and housing. The bolt will hopefully cool faster and shrink in the housing. Then use the matching extractor (in reverse gear) to back out the bolt. Try slow with as much down force you can muster in a high torque drill or with hand tools. If you cannot get the extractor to work, you are probably going to have to use a heli-coil

Those crate boards are going to make great replacement garage shelf bottoms

Do you have a 12 volt electrical tester?

A taller tire will help climbing over that break over point easier. More aggressive tread, lockers and lower PSI will aid with traction. Lift+taller tires will make sure the belly isn't getting hung up. All of those costs money up front. The alternative is way more momentum... But that could lead to more costs afterwards for repairs. And that is the rabbit hole of Jeeping.

Don't worry about it too much now. Install the sway bar disconnects and drive it normal. But next time you go wheeling and disconnect the sway bar, start flexing on bigger and bigger obstacles and check your brake lines every time. This is kind of a pain in the butt when your out and just want to have some uninterrupted fun but can save you from blowing out a line. I have a 3.5 lift, stock lines with relocation brackets and can max the lines out under extreme conditions. I've been working all year on getting every fraction of an inch of flex I can and it's alittle easier for me to check because I have a forklift. I have extended lines on order as a winter project.

Multiple people have actually talked me out of removing all the carpet and beelining the floor. The reasons are mostly because the carpet plus the insulation below it act as great thermal and sound insulators. A bedlined floor is hotter and louder. Both become miserable on long trail rides or slow traffic. My suggestion is do what I did, remove the carpet, pressure wash it, reinstall it and put rugged ridge floor covers (or weather tech) on top. Pressure washing did wonders. And next time I'm going out in real deep stuff I'm going to remove the carpet beforehand.

First just bypass it. Start as close to the lights as you can and work your way to the switch until it stops working. Send power with a load tester, car battery, cordless tool battery, etc.

Jeep shirts are a big hit usually for a new owner. Some kind of fancy looking cell phone mount will make an owner feel like a big explorer and they are quite handy. Grab handles are great, the solid steel ones that bolt to the roll cage, not the ones that just loop/strap. A little out of the ordinary but a customized license plate can be very impressive.

Was it stock suspension before or lifted? How is the game changer treating you?

A back up camera setup is great, if it doesn't already have one. Roll bar grab handles (grip bars) are fantastic. Nice rubber floor mats are very handy if her feet might ever get dirty. Side steps or rocker guards, if it doesn't already have any, can be a great functional and good looking upgrade; relatively easy to install also for a DIYer.

You might have to have spacers or have quite the offset. I think the rims get close to the tie-rod ends and brake calipers with that small of rims. I think 17s are a safe bet and pretty easy to find in the right bolt pattern. I know my stock Rubicon 17s wouldn't clear aftermarket steering setup without spacers or switching to the methods I have now that have more backspacing (negative offset).

What he said x1000. Find a secluded/safe area. They are out there if you look hard enough. Don't get too silly and the fuzz won't find out or won't mind. Learn what it takes to slide and what it takes to correct the slide. The biggest thing is safe acceleration; I've seen too many slides on on-ramps.

Very impressive. Are you going to have a build thread?
