Here's what's on the Jeep.

That link to the suspension is not the exact same as the one I purchased. It seems they don't offer what I bought which was the Overland Elite Rocksport Edition. It is pretty much the same except that mine came with BOTH front and rear track bars. I don't know why they changed that up. Eventually this summer I think I will be getting all eight control arms and the drag link and tie rod too. Not sure yet on the dl/tr.

Needless to say, I have been very happy with Metalcloaks products. Very well made, excellent customer service. Has lived up to everything I have put it through so far without problems.

Nice! I’ve got the same kind of rack, mines the Smittybilt SRC. Did you do anything to yours to quiet the creaking of the rack when you turn, go over bumps, breathe....? [emoji23]

HAHAAH, actually unless i'm deaf or have the music up to loud. I can't recall ever hearing it creak. Not even when the tent is open and i'm in it. Now you're gonna have me checking more closely to see if I do. haha

Dual cases are in brakes or hooked up steering is hooked up and it moves under its own power again really need to rework the suspension to lower it a couple more inches and get the rear fenders fabbed up but little by little it's getting there.20180531_092145.jpg

First post on here, excited to use you guys for advice for building my new rig! Bought a new JL in January. Replaced the bumper with an LOD stubby and bought a my medic so far. I am buying a tepui this week (I entered their contest so I get a nice discount!) Just waiting for more options to be released such as a rear bumper and a couple roof rack options. Not into the gobi look so I'll probably go front runner or rhino backbone system once available

How do you like that roof rack? It looks awesome.
I like it a lot. Basically it is a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform with Maximus-3 designed mounting hardware. It really wasn't too hard to install but it is a two person job when it comes time to set the rack in place. So far everything that I have bought from Maxius-3 has been really good stuff and I have been very happy with it.

Already posted my Jeep, 2016 JKU and just thought to add how I could not find info about my lift and tire setup before I bought them. I have a sport with teraflex 2.5 BB and 285/75r17 (~34 x 11)Toyo open country extreme with no spacers on stock rubicon wheels. Tested it out at the Badlands off road park and the only rubbing was very slight on the swaybar only at full lock to the right.
