Airing down is a must, makes everything so easy, and makes the ride much better. Any time im wheeling i air down to 10 or 12 psi

Sammy Jeep Repair in Hicksville LI/NY did the install on the motor. I am very happy with the work Sammy did and I would recommend anyone in the NY are to go there for any jeep needs.

Year to date i honestly believe the Trucklites are the best money that i have spent on the jeep so far... plug and play and work flawlessly .. they are super bright...

after 700 miles of driving...ATK motor feesl great...did i say the trucklites are great... the ZJ fan clutch is loud... Brown Dog motor mounts are amazing... banks header is a header.... the Thrush welded I personally think sounds perfect no drone above 1500rpm, has a very deep tone at idle i love it...im happy with the 20% tints (1st car ive ever put tints on)... the flashlight while i love it and it was cheap on amazon its too heavy to mount on the ashtray... the ashtray opens once i hit a bump...fail on my part but im still happy to have 620 lumens ready for my EDC...

Future mods:
LED dome lights
re-do my headliner
Steering Components & New Steering box
discos
Front Bumper
More lights
32s
better roof rack


then im done... at least for a while

I installed LED panels in all seven interior lights. $1.25 each and still work perfect after almost two years.
Nates4x4 makes a full-size roof rack for $300 delivered. Also makes bumpers.
