intakes done for now along with the brakelines. had to cut and reflare my hardline with new nuts. flaring tubes by hand is a pain with a cheap double flare tool.

well finally got the sway bar disco stow bars on and installed the snorkel and opt7 led headlight bulbs.ordered new bilstien 5125 all around,iron rock offload trac bar,6.5 coils for the front and control arm drop brackets. should line everything up properly so i can install two new front tires.always get the adjustable trac bar and alignment on jeeps. shredded two tires in 7k miles . lesson learned. also ordered a new speedo gear to correct the speedometer.changed both o2 sensors also.

no its some amazon $80 cree led lighter.it works great but did get condensation in it after 2 years in florida. i sealed with clear rtv when i installed it. still works great though. the headlight bulbs are opt7 as well as the lightbar harness. they sell quality parts and fast shipping.snorkel i decided to get a solid piece for the throttle body.hits the hit a tad now but still closes an works great.recieved my or fab rear bumper but my front bumper won't be here for a few weeks so i might cancel and look for another front winch bumper.also my new bilstein shocks, iron rock offroad trac bar and 6.5 inch coils were finally shipped

Lookin good!
Just one important detail, the drop brackets Must have the rear support installed. The only reason they are sold separately is for the Comanche. It's brackets are built differently.
