Nice! What lift is that? I had an AEV 2.5 Dualsport on my old JK, also did geo correction brackets and adjustable front track bar. Had no issues with it.

Nice, looks great! I thought I recognized those springs and shocks. I wish I had done LCAs instead of the geo correction brackets. We just put a simple AEV 2” spacer lift on my wife’s JL Rubicon.

Got lots done today. That winch mount was a ***** to get off. I used red loctite and my 1/2 Impact to set all the bolts... lol...

Pulling the heads tommorow :) Looking forward to seeing the damage my cam has.

Getting closer, lifters aren't actually that bad. no sings of flat spots. But 2 of them are hard to turn over.

The Cam itself look pretty good for the insane amount of idling we do at -40 up here in Alberta,

Damn man, I know it’s not rocket science but I sure wish I had the know how to tear into an engine like this. Nice work!

Got my updated tune today, And a note saying that I was missing a few parameters so its not fully dialed in yet until I install my wideband 02.

So I ordered this today.

Getting there. Nice gauge. I still need to wire mine in.
How many hours did you have into the install?
