I can't believe I said I wasn't gonna spend any money on this

[Tronner]

from their website: "Equipped with a Johnny Joint at the adjusting end" so maybe when you get double adjustables, where applicable there is a johnny joint on each end?

Correct, they also do not offer a rubber bushing anymore on any of the TJ arms. It's all Poly now.

looks like I can also buy johnny joints from rock jock for the axle housing. looks like RockJock sells a kit now:

and one of these for the passenger side:

Wasn't there some reason not to use the tombstone one

I got my brakes working really good, I'm putting the big brake kit on my "nice to have list".

IIRC Blaine has said a few times that some OEM brakes are really good - but many are not (which is why he has the BBK available). So if my memory is correct, there's a chance you're fine with your dialed in brakes.

hopefully. I just realized how much it is. Why can't I use the CE-9112M on both sides? might have to call RockJock

It has been found that the Johnny joint size is a bit small to really control the axle well enough and that it may cause some issues of death wobble. I believe @taylormade73 has experience with this. The Factory bushings in that location don't really restrict articulation, and they provide more stability to the front axle.

When I bought this jeep, I said I was gonna spend as little money as possible on it. Unfortunately, I spent too much time on this forum and now I know too much to not modify it.

current build:

Currectlync steering
4" RC Lift
eaton e lockers f/r
4.56 gears
full skid plates
new brakes
an E brake that actually works!
Thumb throttle

Possible mods:

Core 4x4 double adjustable arms
Sound system - Alpine W970HD head unit, Alpine KTA-445a 4 channel amp, Alpine KTM-200 mono amp (in progress)
outboarding
Bartact seat covers
Belt driven air compressor
adjustable/tuned shocks
RockJock Springs
new soft top
ARH header/exhaust system
extensive tub rust repair
switching to 35x12.5r17s
different winch/front bumper

that's it for now. Here's a couple pictures of it and where I mounted my amp last night.

crazy to me that a $1000 stereo only has 16w RMS of power to each channel - should at least have 25w but really for that much it should be 50

that's the best part, I didn't pay even close to 1k for it. I found it and the two amps on the cummins forum for $300 lol

I think you forgot to include:
- mid arm
- tummy tuck
- Body Lift
- BBK
- LS/Hemi
- Super dooty axles
- vols cheerleaders

Just my 2c

I think we all could use some cheerleaders every now and again.

Make sure you're clear on which cheerleaders.

I’ve wondered how modern aftermarket built in navigation compares to using Apple Car Play or Android Auto.

Any thoughts?

I haven't really tried out the navigation on it yet, but it seems to work fine. I mainly bought it because Android Auto can display onyx off-road app on the screen

This is the tuffy security console. Who's done a proper sub box inside it? There's a lot more volume in there then I expected, and I couldn't really hear/feel the bass before, for obvious reasons. This is the 8" sub that was mounted in there.
