    finally got around to installing my arb pump to my cali raised molle panel. i had a single in box arb pump that i drilled the rivets out of a mounted to the lower part of the rack and hard wired it to the battery. this helps keep the compressor cooler by using cabin air and i still can easily access and pump up my tires or another cars.

    stay tuned. next adveture is converting the rear shock setup to a jeep jl and installing 2.5in fox dsc jl shocks in the rear for extreme long travel

    Looking good.

    Can you post a picture of the noisy mount area and pinch welds. I want to get an idea of what was done.

    Finally got around to doing my rear jeep conversion. so the rear end has been converted to use Jeep JL rear shocks. with the metal tech rear long travel kit and a jeep jl 2-3in 2.5 performance shock im getting some crazy articulation.

    Why did you convert to a jeep rear end? Is it really that much better? Genuinely curious.

    Thanks!

    Holy Schnikey!! That is insane lol! Did you have to limit the articulation at all to keep the driveshaft u-joint from binding? It looks awesome!

    A lot of stuff.
    Just ordered these 315 K02's, super excited.

    What have you done to fit these? I've already flattened my pinch welds, BMC and front fender trim a while ago to prep myself for bigger tires. I also have a cab mount relocation kit coming in.
