Houston area Install Party

Sheeeesh. I thought I was immune to this stuff. I mean, really. For 17 months I did nothing, happy with the stock Jeep. And now what?

All of a sudden, I have lost my mind. In addition to the above parts, I just ordered:

ARB diff cover for front diff, Rugged Ridge skid cover for back diff, Evap canister skid plate, Clover Patch window roll for the soft top....and last but not least.....a nice Jeep cap.

If this keeps up, I may have to move in with Steve or Mark.............

WoooHOoo!!!

Just got three boxes from MR. UPS man. Two from Rough Country and one from JKS.

I wanted to coon finger them soooo bad, but I put them out in the shed for safe keeping.....

WUSUP EVERYBODY...I know I don't get on here enough but my brain gets fried after 9-10 hrs on the puter everyday at work...anyway, not sure on my schedule (will have to check w/wifey) but I may make it out. I may relocate some miner things on my Jeep but can def turna awrench as well. Anything I need to bring as far as tools go? I know Geo and others have some but, with this many peeps showing up there may not be enough to go around! let me know...

I'll be there. Will bring my new front shocks, maybe the rear adjustable trackbar (seems easy enough to just do it myself when it comes in next week), and perhaps some new rear lower shock brackets, if Geo thinks that's a good idea. =)

Oh yeah, and I'm going to need one of these spiffy super-welder-bolt-extractor-thingamajiggers you got George!

Otherwise, I'll just be glad to offer a hand where I can.

Okey dokey.....all parts have just been ordered.

Crossing fingers......

No. I gotta get away....

And this??

Anything else I need to for this install??
And I will still be able to use the electronic swaybar disconnect???

yup... that is it. And when you order the JKS discos, go ahead and get the ones for 2.5" - 6.0" Lift. You'll likely get more than 2.5" lift from the lift.

Yes, you'll be able to use the e-disco afterwards. All this is doing is replacing the links with longer ones.

Todd- get the Rough Country coil & shocks, and buy the JKS quick disconnects. I know Geo will agree with me on this. I know you don't need quick disco's, but they will work and they are strong.

Here's the thing, which I learned the hard way. The TF BB will give you added height, but won't give you any extra articulation because you still have the stock coils. The RC will give you both added height and added articulation. You won't regret it once you have it.

the JKS quick disco's for the JK's are different design than TJ/YJ disco's.

JKS quick disconnects bite, no really they smash fingers really good!! This week his nail is flop'n & will fall off shortly!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!1

Ah hell Geo... You'll be too tied up with other more difficult installs. I'm sure I'll be helping Todd with that minor install.


But Todd- bring the howitzer and full clip anyway

Just use the extended links that come with the kit and move the stockes on the fron to the rear. No problem mon!

Thank you....
