That is a sweet build. If I found another DJ I would do that.

Saw that today and fell in love. Absolutely beautiful.

Sorry for the delays. I went cheap on my switch system and bought an Amazon Applootech switch. Few guys around me run them with no issues so I’m giving it a try. Everything wired up super easy and works like a charm.

So I have been busy but not staying up to speed on the thread. I’m to the point where I’m just flat out ready to be done.
I indeed got the ARB mounted up under the seat after ditching my original terraflex bracket which I hated. The compressor basically was pressed up against all the seat wire harnesses with zero clearance from the compressor to the bottom of the seat.

Also got my new 8” ram installed. Had to grind down my steer stops more to accommodate the longer ram. Similar to Bill, I will need to get new tabs welded to accommodate my set up. At full steer the ram hits the drag link. I’ve rotated moved and twisted it every which way but alas I gave up
And bolted it down until it goes to the shop for final tune and they can weld some tabs in a better location.

Also finally got my new ebrake cables delivered. wasn’t sure what to expect on this task but honestly
far easier than I thought. Hardest part was disconnecting all the seat wiring again to rip the center console out. Still need to figure out a better way to secure the cables to the control arms.

The evo long arms just have a small tab welded on them that you zip tie the cable to. I would get a bigger cable though. That little one will snap.

And finally....ripped all the rock sliders off and am refinishing them. Painted the sill black though while off until I go full skins. Also took the stinger off and repainted it.
And if you notice...the Jeep is actually nose in the garage now. Indeed I finally took her for a spin up and down my driveway. Damn near cried. Need to bleed my brakes...again as they are real soft. Possible I may have a leak in my booster though as I’m hearing a lot of “whoosh” when I hit the brakes. But if I pump them rapidly it stiffens up (enter wise ass comments).

I’ll take a look but pretty sure the cable is the same diameter. The 14 bolt has a different connection and that is what I needed. Good eye though. I will definitely double check

I'm fairly sure that has to do with the adjustment in the rear end. If it really bothers you it's not a super hard adjustment to make.
