4th wheel is mounted up. Glad im done with those for w bit.
After I did that I decided to stick a resi on one of the ORIs to see what it looked like. I like the mount they give with them, but Im not sure its going to work out mounted like that. I dont believe the towers are all that wide so I believe they will have to go straight in and not sure if I will be able to do that without rubbing them when flexed. I guess we will see.

Just a little update that I figured some might want to see. I believe I mentioned it, but I ordered a Caroline Metal Masters grab handle. There is a option to have it custom engraved and I figured why not with everything else thats going. When you click that option on their site there is no where to put what you want so I left it in the comments and the day after I got a email from Brian Williams over there asking me what font I wanted it in. I didn't expect that I figured they just used one font to print them all. He told me to look through their customers gallery and another website that has over 14k different fonts on it. He said there is some of those they cant do however just because they wont come out clear when they machine it. I ended up picking one I found in their customer gallery and sent it back to him and he said he would get working on it. I figured that meant that they would machine it and sent it to me. Well to my surprise earlier he sent me a email with the screen shot of the model in CAD and asked if I that was what I wanted. I sent him back that its what I was looking for and he told me he would get it cut this weekend. I guess moral of this whole thing is that they seem to be running a great business over there and I didnt expect the emails back and forth. Cant wait to see this thing in person. It will be black anodized with the machined look.

Did a little work today on the front. I moved it and then took the rotors, hubs, unit bearings off. Harrison or screen name hhunter050 came by for a bit. I have been fighting to get the axle shafts out. Bent a couple pry bars lol. I have gotten some tips from other so I got a few things to try when I get back at it again.

Havent done any work since the other day. I hope yo get back at it in a couple days. RAM mount showed up today. I got the 7" X-Grip and 3" arm. I think the grab bar is supposed to be here in a day or 2 so cant wait to see it all in. Next I just need to come up with a way to mount it in my Cummins as well.

The grab bar came today and it looks sweet. Looks great in the Jeep and the RAM mount seems that it is gonna work great.
A guy is saying he is going to come get my rubi axles for his MJ this weekend. He says he is in NC so hopefully if he does come and get them im gonna be ordering gears and lockers soon after.

Thanks guys. I tried to include the one picture of nothing there for you hinrichs. I remember you saying you had no clue what the grab bar mounts to but it seems to be some kind of metal.
I plan to use it for GPS and music. GPS is the big one though.
Thanks man and they definitely do. I wouldnt hesitate to get anything else from them.
I can tell if your serious or not lol. A guy in Instagram asked what camera I had it hooked up to as a joke, but its just a picture of my jeep as the background on my ipad.

LOL - I was serious! I know there are some wireless backup cameras out there - I thought you had one hooked up to your ipad somehow and thought that would be an awesone!
Way better that those little monitors they come with.

Im kinda curious to what all it connects to, but my guess is its pretty strong. Id assume if Jeep attacked a grab bar to it it must be somewhat sturdy.
That would be pretty badass. Probably is something you can do to make that happen, but I have no clue.
