Wow prices are crazy high
Ypu think thats crazy everyone in chicago thinks of you sell your stock rims you should get at least $600-$1000. I think its a joke. People put after market rims on anything here. I am not a fan. If they are replicas cool or like moabs on a kj cool but past that its not a good look imo.

Looking for a good place for an XM antenna and a rear camera today. No real flat spots on the rear, so I might just pass on the camera. Real small vehicle and I don't feel I really need a rear camera, but figured if I was going to be running the XM antenna from the rear above the 3rd brake light it might just be the time to install the camera. Tried the XM antenna on the dash to start, but that's a no go around here. Just cuts in and out.

My JBA front-guard skid plate showed up yesterday. Bolting it on this weekend. Then, time to do some measuring to see how much I have to dial up the front coilovers due to lots of heavy stuff added recently (Skid row engine skid, Front guard, ARB bumper and winch)
I use an interior/exterior Sirius antenna (from the home kit) on my dash. Works great, unlike the magnetic one intended to go on top of the car.

I did install the rear camera and XM antenna yesterday. The antenna went just above the 3rd brake light and the camera went just below the spare into the bumper cover. As expected running the wires/cables was the most difficult part. Hoping that's the last time I need to pullout the new Kenwood head unit. Pleased with both installs and the Sirius free trial is activated.
Happy I was able to add cruise control, rear audio controls, a new stereo(DDX9703S) with Android Auto/Sirius and the rear camera. Just need to get to the dealer to activate the DRL's and my "To Do" list for now is pretty much done. Might add an EVIC and already collecting OME parts for a lift to be done at a later date.
Once again thank you to everyone for sharing your knowledge and for your assistance. It's been years since I've been this hands on with a vehicle and I've really enjoyed getting under it and getting my hands dirty again.

Cool, heavier spring rate on the rear?

Yeah, I'm carrying a little weight. Running two extra isolators on top of the JBA 4" springs right now to get 4" of lift along with the Monroe load helper shocks and the ride is extremely soft. So we'll see how these ride and where my height ends up at. I'm hoping to maybe switch to one of the Bilstein shocks.
Working for yourself is good and bad,
when no work ya starve,
when you are working and have some money,
then no time to play with your KJ
Next two days are time to play with the KJ
Lets see what I can pull out of my hat..................:gr_grin:
