Shark "Tank"

Looks good. And seems the liners will partially protect from rocks and such. Did you screw the bracket to the nutserts? I have some custom L brackets and used stainless pop rivets to connect it.

No, for the brackets I just pre-drilled and used sheet metal screws. I had to use nutserts on the rest of the lights because of where I mounted them on the tub.

For those who might be interested in these lights, this is with just four hooked up; two per tire on the driver’s side.

The OEM full-width bumper is cutting off some of the rear light. If/when we get a body-width bumper then more light will hit the ground. Otherwise, I can always add another light.

I’ve installed but not yet wired the passenger side. Hopefully I can get to it this week. That means I still have four left over from the pack of twelve so I might fill in some extra spots, put a few under the vehicle, and maybe put one under the hood.

...and my journey with Shark Tank has come to an end. Here is where it started.

And here is where it ends (at least with me as the driver.)

My oldest son passed his driver’s test this afternoon so the keys are now in his hands. I’m already looking forward to the next build. 🥃

He is VERY fortunate and you are quite selfless [emoji482]

Congrats to little sharkey. [emoji106] Not a bad first ride either. Clearly he’s spoiled. [emoji6]
 
Sad to see it go but glad it got passed down to the next generation. Can't wait to see what your next Jeep will be.
 
I was going to make a joke on how your son was definitely going to put to use the upgraded suspension...but thought better of it...

Lol. We already had an interesting conversation about folding down the rear seats and if it is still level in the back because of the security deck I built.

I busted him on why he was really asking the question. ;)

Looks like the steering pump is on its way out. Can’t really justify going full blown Hyrdo just for 35’s, but I wouldn’t mind a bit of an upgrade.

Anyone have experience with this kit and do you think it is worth the extra money over just replacing with an OEM pump? How was the install? Can you retain the factory air box?

I’ll be following this also. I’m on my 2nd OEM pump and it’s whining. I need an upgrade but don’t want the expense.
