It's going to be nice. Especially on those cold wet days.

Glad I could help this little project along. Do you want me to send you the oil return line? I can get a large envelope and ship it down to ya...
Once you see this in action you might have to think about one for your rig....
Or this with a 20' extension also.

I'm not to that level yet.
I'll run this setup as is and if I'm having issues I'll get in touch with you before Moab. Hope you get your rig running so we can cruise around on the red rock. Thanks again.
Just read this whole build thread and wow this rig is amazing! quick question, I might have missed it but what made you decide to go with a rear antirock and how much did it benefit compared to the stock swaybar?
OP
Thanks it's been a fun project.
As far as the rear antirock goes... @Midnight LJR cut the oem brackets during the midarm install so no real choice. In his defense he did ask proir and I gave the go ahead.
As far as a difference from oem I couldn't really tell you since I didn't run the midarm with the oem setup. I ran without any rear tb for a few months and that was awful. If anything though it does look pretty awesome and now that I've done it once I would do it again. Halfway through the process though I was kicking myself due to the clearance issues.
Yeah my 3 minutes with the cut off disc cost you about 20 hours and several hundred bucks. Hahaha
Heck I seem to do that to myself all the time..... But it's only time & money and I can't take either with me.
OP
The rear locker stopped working yesterday while playing around on the rubicon. The pump just kept going but nothing was happening. When I got home I opened the diff and found the airline inside the rear locker was cut, likely due to hitting the ring gear. The hose also looks a lot larger than the 3/16th I replaced it with so it likely wasn't the right stuff.
$21 later, including gear oil, it's all better.
Lube locker for the win again.

Every now and then it’s not “The worst that can happen “ glad it was an easy fix, I was having some locker switch problems as well, might be a loose wire on the switch.
OP
I hope yours is an easy fix as well.
A new locker would have a been a rabbit hole. Replace 1 or both, regear to 5.38 while its apart? At this point though I don't see any advantage to going slower other than I'd be over the 100:1 milestone
Man, wish I was “playing around on the rubicon”. Glad it was an easy fix!

It was a fun day. Turned into a winch fest to get out of the granite bowl but it was worth it.
Something tells me a little part of you was hoping for a different outcome.I hope yours is an easy fix as well.

Bath day. The joys of bedliner.
Also, I noticed I finally hit the PS skid. I was wondering if that thing would ever pay off.

Yep, it was only a matter of time. With all the posser shots I take I was bound to hit it.

I really need to get one of those. I've got some rock rash on my steering box so I've clearly already hit it.
OP
Its great to have and easy to install. Taking out the PS on the trail would make for a terrible day.
OP
Looking sharp.
No problem. I know you'll put it to good use. Also, you may want to throw a long airline into the rv so you can fill a tire if needed while its on toad duty.
