Yup... I use to try hiding all my new parts under the Jeep... My wife still saw them...
Still putting off cutting the hood again
It looks like your pup can communicate with TJs!
She's wondering why it's just been sitting in her garage and she hasn't had a ride in it yet, lol.
Just put her in it when you work on itmy dog loves that
I witnessed that last time I went wheeling with you. Dog in jeep while you worked on it.
Our girl has spent more time off road than the vast majority of Jeeps, she's in remission from Lymphoma so we have limited time left and she gets to go anywhere she wants, lol. She's also the calmer of my two redheads.
I’m doing HiLine’s too, so I’ll be following your thread now to see what you do with everything. Mine are GR. I didn’t catch what yours are. What are they? Sounds like you love cutting the hood. LOL. I broke my vacuum line too, over by the CC. It literally just snapped when I went to move it. Time for more tubing all around. Ton of little projects, but in the end should be a big improvement. Yours is looking good.
These are the Motobilt Aluminum 0"s.
I think I have the PDC figured out, I pounded the legs flat, and cut off the rear one. Paint was still drying last night, but should end up like this:
Similar but slightly different than what I did. Either way, it works, though I fiddled with my AC lines and now they look like crap! I’m re-working the entire battery area now, so it won’t be all jumbled up. New cables, moved the PCM up and back on the firewall. I have some more room now between the battery and the PDC.
I have the G/R Highlines... love'em!
I need way too much work on my engine compartment to post any pics in here though... lol... Terrible I tell ya Terrible!

I don’t know whether to tap thumbs up or the laughing emoji!
Per conversation last night...
2"x1/4" wall DOM is $297 for a 23' stick.
I could get:
3@40" Front upper
2@44" Rear Lower
2@34" Rear upper (75% ish of Lower)
Just WAG's for lengths... doubt they are that long.

Sounds like a good deal. My Barnes kit came with the DOM.
I normally just use Metal Supermarkets for steel here, and that'd run $771 (precut to your listed lengths) for 1020.
I do request a picture of you carting home a 23' stick in the TJ, please.
Are you running 2" uppers?
Hey you know what... You're right... I forgot my uppers are 1-3/4". I ordered it without the links because I can source them locally.
I'll just strap it over the top of the TJ... it'll be fine...
Grok didn't quite get it right... lol
=====================================================
Kit INCLUDES:
- Heavy Duty 1/4 & 3/16" thick laser cut and CNC bent cross member.
- Laser cut upper and lower control arm mounts for the axle.
- 2" x .250 thick wall DOM tubing for the lower control arms.
- 1-3/4" x .120 thick wall DOM tubing for the upper control arms.
- Left and right hand machined bungs to weldinto the end of each control arm tube to make adjustments easy!
- Genuine Currie forged 1-1/4" shank Johnny Joints, at both ends of the control arm for easy adjustment! (which are greasable & rebuildable)
On the road for work, but axles are done for pickup when I get back Friday. Front Dana shafts and BJs are in, but still need to clean the knuckles and build the rest out.
OH man... and I thought the JL axle was heavy... I had to just walk it out a little at a time... all my friends have bad backs! lol...
