Yea it is way cool. The shop where the rifle came from does custom engravings on guns. You can probably just take your cover out and take it to engraving place to get it done.

Got the EVO Rockstars installed today. It did take almost 5hrs.....
I had to trim a bit more of the bracket on opposite side.
Smaller 3/8" bolts were off a little bit, that got fixed with a little drilling quick
Final product
And all done
Driver side coil is a little looser than expected, I might add springs retainers
https://youtu.be/lXK5RxgK2nA
Slightly less loose with sway bar connected. Really thinking about adding retainers.
My 2 most favorite tools to work on my jk
I must say I really enjoy cutting up my jeep [emoji16]..... it's fun and very satisfying.
Also got my rear extended brake lines installed last Sunday.
More on that in here

Front ones are next. I also got these teraflex brake line anchor. This will be the only teraflex part I will run. It's kinda neath actually.....
Have a great weekend Everybody [emoji482]

Looks great! I have some spring retainers if you want them, I went with rear spacers when I lowered the Brick and the only work with no spacers

Got the front brake lines changed today. Luckily this time the flare nuts on both sides broke loose easily and I didn't have to cite the hard lines and reflare the ends.
Here's a little mock up of he routing with the Teraflex brake line anchors.
Those things are garbage by the way
I ended up ditching those teraflex anchors and just leaving the lines be where they want to be. They seem to be out of the way form everything at both ride height and full droop.
One thing o wasn't paying attention to was all the fluid leaking out of he reservoir, so when I went to bleed the new lines I started pumping bunch of air in the master cylinder. It took 2 bottles of brake fluid to get all the air out of the lines [emoji854].
I will be addressing my rear spring situation next [emoji869][emoji41]

Looks great! I'm surprised those little brackets are garbage, they look like they would work well but guess you don't know till you actually try. I always heard if you got air in the abs system it was an automatic trip to a shop $$

Those anchors would probably work great with the factory lines which are actually longer then the Currie ones I installed. At full drop while using the Teraflex anchor It was pulling the lines down at the frame too much.... I don't know, maybe I have too much droop lol.
As far as air in the system, I just kept adding fluid and my wife Was pumping the brakes while I was doing all the bleeders. I went around all 4 corners quite a few times. We just kept going until there was no more air coming out of the bleeders. It brakes good ,just like it did before. I will defiantly keep an eye on everything though.

Those mounts (Rockstars) bring up the mounting point of a shock by an 1.5", factory location is the lowest hanging part of your suspension on the jeep. They also provide a skidplate for your lower control arms mounting points/joints.
But now my shocks are a bit too long which causes my coils to be loose at full droop. I will be adding JKS spring retainers to hold my coils in place and prevent them form tipping, potentially preventing them form falling out on the trail.
And also while I am addressing my rear coils I will also be adding JKS spring brackets to fix the bow in the rear coils.
Here's Eddies write up on the EVO Rockstars

Hosed out my Bedrugs and the floor in a jeep with a garden hose today. We had a mysterious smell coming form the inside.

Flushed my brake system again, for like the 3rd time. I picked up Motive Power Bleeder form Summit Racing to do the job.
Good thing about this bleeder is not needing the wife to pump the brakes while I bleed, avoiding unnecessary fight too lol.
I kept tapping brake caliper with a hammer and I also kept flicking the lines while I bled. This method helps trapped air escape the lines. It did work pretty well and I saw a lot more air coming out than expected.
I bled each corner through entire one of these 3 times. Always starting rear passenger and finishing front driver.
This is how much brake fluid I used since replacing all 4 soft lines. Lol it comes out so clean that I probably keep reusing it by now... but my OCD won't let me.
All in all pretty easy but very long and annoying process. I kept pumping up the power bleeder to about 18psi every so often. Got a lot more air out that I though was still trapped in the system. There was mostly trapped in both rear lines, I didnt really see any air while bleeding the fronts. It brakes better, I think I'll drive it for few days and maybe run a little more fluid through it.

Looks like a nice brake bleeder, may have to steal that idea since I wrench by myself all the time. Maybe I'll finally get my lines changed

I like it, steady constant pressure all the time. I put 2 bottles of fluid it it at once. You just gotta make sure you keep the pressure in there. I read some Random thread I googled. MoTech chimed in stating that Jeep's service manual call for power bleeding at 15-20 psi but They (motech) do 20-30psi. I might go slightly over 20 if I decide to bleed again in few days. I also read that it's a lot more bleeding to get the air out the rears, which I must say is true after today's bleed job.
If you are buying one, this is the one I used. This model is for Chrysler and comes with the cap that will fit the reservoir. Also put some teflon tape on the fitting between the bleeder and the cap that comes with the kit. Make sure you test for any leaks prior to filling the power bleeder with fluid.
