Took the Suited Up Racing Jeep for a shakedown run on Sunday with the new front diff and 37 Treps. Went to Swan Gully 4x4 for a play through the creeks. Best news was I didn’t blow this diff up!!

Not done yet but the first part of my electrical upgrade has arrived. Pretty happy with how it’s going to turn out, I will link a build thread here once I start putting it together.
That’s 200watt of solar that’s going to run into a intervolt dcc charger and third battery in the boot.
Second battery will be under the hood also fed by solar when in excess supply.
I got one of the Android units recently. I now understand a little of the bizarre behaviour of my JKU.
The new headunit displays a pic of the car with a door open in red, when one is opened.
Several of the procedures in the user manual require you to do something with the control on the drivers door. (Auto lock, all unlock.) But I have to use the passenger door control.
When I open the rear passenger door, the display shows it open, but if I have the front & rear passenger doors open, it displays the front right door & the rear left door!
Something in the wiring, or programming, of my JK is arse about!
Got my new Stedi led lights installed, as well as a set of Wild Boar grab bars.
Lights: I went with the Stedi lights as they are ADR compliant and I’ve seen good reviews of them. Overall they are fantastic in terms of light penetration and spread. Huge improvement over the stock lights, even with higher power Phillip bulbs! My only criticism is that the DRL halos could be brighter. They’re not bad, but an extra bulb or two would put them on par with oem drls on many vehicles today.
Grab bars: I got these from eBay for about $60 (front and rear) and couldn’t be happier. They key to a quick install is to put a bit of anti seize on the bolts and run them in and out of the bolt holes without the handles first to get a feel for the angle they have to be installed at. Once I did that they handles went on in about 10 minutes. Very solid, and minimal interference with the sun visors.
