Build Thread JJ's

So far...

Currently installed:
- Milltek Exhaust. Sounds so much better without being too loud or obnoxious
- Hertz & Audison stereo system. A must as the factory system is awful
- King steering stabilizer. I can now drive effortlessly and also with one hand on the highway
- King remote reservoir shocks. A must with lift and larger tires. Stock shocks could not handle lift or 35" tires
- Eibach 2.5" springs. Zero issues with front driveshaft
- 35" x 12.5" BFG mud terrains
- Black Sheep spare tire relocation bracket
- Full paint correction & ceramic

Upcoming:
- Voyager Roof Rack - Estimated for December. Factory Rhino Rack rattles, loud, heavy and doesn't work with safari windows
- Front bumper - Waiting for someone like ARB or TJM to offer something

Want:
- Headlight guards shown on Arcane Works model
- Anyone offer a beer bottle opener for the utility belt?

A few quick pics:

had to turn the brightness down on my Mac to look at those pics, that one hell of a shine.
I must have the matt inky Black!

Love the build so far!! Two questions:

1–agree with drof14850 post above, super bright shine you got there!! Is that a ceramic coating or did you use a special wax, etc…like to get mine that shinny.

2–on the King remote reservoir shocks, I assume this is the 2.5” ones? I have the same lift and tire size as you and was going to buy a set of those kings, but was told by two different vendors those shocks are only good up to a 2.0”lift even though it sales as a 2.5” shock. I still have the stock shocks, which are not shabby as they are Bilstein after all, and with the Eibach 2.5” springs and 35” Toyos, I have had zero issues so far and have checked the driveshaft/cv joints twice with no cracks/leaks/damage. However, I have not been on a serious off road trip yet. That won’t be until the end of the year and that’s why I am concerned. Have you been off road yet? Any info you can pass along for these shocks with our same set up would be appreciated.
