I like the rack setup! I've been wanting to build a rack in the back like the one you had when you bought it but I have to fit dogs in so I think I'll have to go with something like yours.

so how well do the JK arms fit? any issues with fit or the angle? Do you know how much longer these arms are compared to the stock XJ arms? I really like the idea I might have to try it

You can also run the WJ arms...there is a little modding required, but the results are really nice. They also bow to the inside and are identical hole to hole as stock XJ arms. MUCH beefier than stock arms.

They ride nicer due to the NVH bushings (Noise, Vibration, Harshness). I don't have enough posts yet to add a write-up...

This is the pin to bend. Do it just like this and the relay will still slide in and out freely.

Are there any drawbacks to this "mod"? I'd like a way to pull more air on the trail and this seems like a viable option.

I think you should keep your rude comments to yourself.
