Best to leave them out when driving it!Got hearing aids today. Now I hear way too many sounds coming from my Jeep. I thought everything was pretty quiet on it until today.

satin > flatI painted my wheel wells and frame
Flat black last week and yesterday I painted my new bumper with a satin finish. I’m trying to decide if I like the contrast or not.
What size hose? I need to replace the entire lineRepaired the front locker pump hose.
looks like it rubbed out on the pump bracket.
You need to get it centered or you'll be driving sideways down the road, your handling will suck, and you'll induce premature tyre wear.Installed a JKS front track bar. Had a couple troubles with it, one of those being I didn’t have a 9/16” drill bit. I have almost every standard size under 1”, but of course, not that one. One store was sold out, the next one wanted $32 for the one they had. HomeDepot had one for $15. Even with 4” suspension lift and 1.25” BL I only had about 1/8” of threads left to shorten the track bar? Is this normal or is something funky with my setup? My axle is about 1/4” off from center, I figure that was close enough.

Paint, then you can touch up when you rub.I removed my rocker guards and rear bumper and tire carrier cause things were starting to rust. Ordered a new rear bumper (https://www.barnes4wd.com/TJ-LJ-Rear-Tail-Plate-Bumper_p_308.html) and dropped my rocker guards off to get sandblasted. Debating on whether or not to have them professionally powder-coated or save some money and paint them myself
I bought a Supreme Suspension rear track bar listed as being for 1-3 inch lift. I have a 3 inch lift and had to have the track bar adjusted all the way in. Definitely misrepresented.Installed a JKS front track bar. Had a couple troubles with it, one of those being I didn’t have a 9/16” drill bit.

NOT real impressed with "SUPREME SUSPENSION" . PO put 2" lift on my '03. I bought their FRONT track bar to center axle and the Heim joint at the end broke off at the neck/thread after only 2 years of highway only driving. They wouldn't stand behind it. Charged me like $40 for a new joint. Should have just went with a different manufacturer and replaced the whole thing.I bought a Supreme Suspension rear track bar listed as being for 1-3 inch lift.

Cut a 1/4" off the tube and screw it in another 1/4" , if the threads are bottoming out tap more or cut 1/4" of threads off , your not going to need them to adjust it out.Installed a JKS front track bar.

You are completely wrong. Most people that do a BB, don't center the axle (including myself). Nothing that you mentioned ever happens. If that happened to you, you have other alignment issues.You need to get it centered or you'll be driving sideways down the road, your handling will suck, and you'll induce premature tyre wear.
I'll ignore the quality winch you bought.I installed an ORO Swayloc, Ruff Stuff 1ton steering, Black Magic Brakes Vanco 16” big brake kit, Morryde tailgate stiffener/tire carrier and heavy duty hinges and finished off with a Undercover Fab aluminum stubby bumper.
