Sorry Jason, LIES LIES LIES (Lol..) , view my two little videos on my channel and look at how clean my JLUR is before, then dirty, then return to like it was at the start of my AOP video. It's not that easy to keep it clean.... Lol!!! your so humble. I know you spend ALOT of time under that jeep brother. I get asked the same question by folks who think mine is a Mall crawler until they look closely at the scratches and chips in my rims or one of my video's. Like you I do touch paint if needed but since my jeep is newer that's only been like 2 times in the past 2 years. That said, I think it's important for folks to know that prepping before the trip is important but also not using a pressure washer unless it's a small psi one meaning no more than 1200 psi or so. Too easy to push grit into areas it doesn't need to go into. Also it's so important to prevent pushing grit and grime into any electrical connections especially with our CAN-Bus electrical systems. I wish I had the life of wheeling all the time, but since I'm like 98% of the population and use my jeep as a daily driver and only wheel 10 to 15 times a year then it makes it easy to spend multiple days manually cleaning everything under the jeep. The biggest thing that I do before a trip is clean, clean, clean, wax, tire shine, and shine the frame, axles, and everything else. It makes it 100% easier to simply wash away with a regular garden hose. It also makes it easy to simply hand wash once I'm done with the hose. Once again as I've stated before, you have a great channel and although I'm doing my channel for fun, you were one of the folks who inspired me to just start something. Thanks for that, and thanks for the heads up on the fusion axles as I first found them on your channel. My JL now has the Ultimate 44 on the front which was free, but I would have bought the fusion 44. I'm currently looking at the 60 for the rear of my JLU and like you just sticking with my current tires (38's) instead of 40's but since these Advantek M220 axles have a good reputation on the JL's I'm stuck deciding if I should do it now or wait. Great work brother. God Bless you.

So, it's whatever fits the build plan! I only have a 110 welder and am not setup to do axle brackets and such.

I'm installing my axle right now and when fitting the springs onto the lower perches, its much different than OEM. I understand the springs sit on the perch and are retained with the bolt and "washer" plate provided but they seem really loose. My stock axle had an exact spot that was notched out and the spring fit snugly into position. Looks like you possibly used different hardware? In the beginning of the video it shows the same back and silver hardware I have but towards the end it looks like you have gold hardware installed. Appreciate any assistance!

I used my MetalCloak spring retainers but the one's I have are the angle correction ones and they add almost an inch of lift I don't want... you can probably just use the retainers metalcloak.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=+Spring+angle+correction+retainer Check the droop on your axle with the shocks in...you may not need much to keep the springs in place. Since I mounted my lower shock attachment so far up... this axle droops way down and the springs actually get loose. If you are using the normal shock mount... it will probably keep the springs pretty secure at full droop.

Years ago when I was still working I talked to a couple of well regarded axle manufactures about welding the tubes on the 12bolt for my Camaro. Both advised against it because it is extremely hard to keep the tubes straight if you weld them. I did weld the tubes on an 8.8 once, but I had already ripped the tubes out of them. The larger diameter tubes and a tighter pressfit will give you what you want without welding.

Why yes, I loved to talk about that! I've been putting on hundreds of city and freeway miles this week since the install for work and it's flat out amazing to drive! So smooth and extremely stable... even on the rough freeways here in Los Angeles. So I'm absolutely thrilled and I haven't even put in the dirt yet. The confidence boost has been incredible.
