What was done to your rig this week?

Well let see. This has been over more than a week on my 2016 JKUR but what i have done so far. First thing i did was install new poison spyder bumpers front and rear along with a 10k winch. The next day i stalled my evo leveling kit. Next i installed the lightbar brackets and lightbar. Just this week i have istalled my spidertrax 1.5in spacers, cut my stock fenders and today installed my 35x12.50r17 maxxis trepador radials. Many more mods planed for the future but that kinda get me caught up in what i have done.

The new wife liked our Jeep road trip a lot, but wanted me to get a JKU. I said, "Only if it's a Rubicon." Win-win, I guess, but I sure hated driving away from Alice, instead of driving her.

I did the same thing earlier this year trading in a crappy Silverado. Saw the Rubicon Unlimited and said "Me Likes" she agreed and I am now a jeeper. Although I was not sad driving away from the problem child I traded in.

Today I installed the Banks Air Intake. Now, I'm not here to get into any sort of philosophical discussion about butt dynos, MPG gains or losses, HP, etc...

No, I installed it for a purely scientific reason. It's 115 freaking degrees here in the AZ desert, and with heat, air becomes less dense...hence less oxygen. The Banks has a bigger hole, a fatter tube, and monstrous filter. My theory is it will get more oxygen into my engine. Whatever the outcome, at least it looks cool. :beer:
Now I need to add the matching exhaust...

How has it worked out? I notice a loss in performance during the 115 degree summer days.

Looking good! I did use 4 hockey pucks for bumpstops with the EVO kit, cut fenders and 35's. No rubbing now.

Hahaha I take care of my baby, but with that said that was the only spot that didn't have some sort of mud residue on it...had to get it nice and clean before I put the decal on
 
Finally picked up some JW Speaker Headlights – Model 8700 Evolution J (Black) and slapped them in. Huge improvement over stock headlights. Love the sale that Northridge is having on these at $475 per set..:clap2:

So far i have no rubbing at full flex untill a tire is off the ground,lol. Its not bad at that. For some reason i did get a little more lift than my brother. We both have the same suspension setup.
 
So I have been doing a lot of maintenance this past week. I finally fixed that annoying squeak from my rear sway bar thanks to the guys on this forum helping me figure where the noise was coming from. I also increased my caster angle and it improved my jeep so much. Like night and day difference. I bought a angle finder for $5 bucks from home depot and it was giving me a wrong measurements, so I thought I had bad ball joints and that was the cause for my Jeep being all over the road. I just went for a test drive going about 80mph and it drove so straight and smooth. It also got rid of a squeak I had upfront so I'm pleased with the work ever though I didn't upgrade anything. I also did a bunch of other stuff but just happy about the caster and noise being fixed.
 
My steering wheel has felt like it was loose so I decided to pop the airbag off and check the bolt. Sure enough it backed off quite a bit! I've never even had this worked on. Tight now!
