Is a steering damper the same thing as a steering stabilizer. If had three in my rig and right at 92.5k. First one doesn't really count as it failed under warranty only having the rig about two months.

Nice work! When you do the driveway alignment solo you can make it a little easier by using two measuring tapes and put a screw through the end if there is a provision for it, or just clamp them down or duct tape or whatever to hold them to the scrap wood on one side, then just let them drape over the other one. No moving the tape around that way which is half of the PITA for me. You still have to get up and down to check / adjust, but at least you don't have to move the tape.

Nice upgrades, those look beefy.
Installed a new stereo with a big LCD and multiple inputs for cameras. Since I had inputs and cameras are cheap, I installed a rearview and front view (rock spotter) cameras.
The stereo is a white-box branded Boss single-DIN with a detachable 9" LCD. This means I was able to install in the factory location without buying a double-DIN surround and without cutting any of the internal dash structure away. The traditional solution for a multi-media head unit is to get a double-DIN unit and a new fascia piece. The stereo I chose save me several hundred dollars over the alternative solution and gives me better visibility of the stereo. The screen is on a ball mount and has about 15 degrees of adjustment margin in all directions from neutral. Additionally, the ball mount is on a vertical rail that slides up and down several inches.
The stereo supports Android Auto which is the main reason for choosing this unit. I can now run Gaia GPS on the head unit.
I mounted the front facing camera to my winch plate. This probably won't be very durable long term, so I have some plans to build a better mount out of some angle steel or aluminum once this mount fails.
And here's an action shot of the front facing camera view
Nice!
A trail camera in the grill is a factory option on the JL or JT (or both?). It seemed like a good idea and the price was right.
Gaia GPS just recently received android auto capabilities. I haven't used it with AA in a trail yet, but other members here have.
Love the big screen, maps looks so much better that way.
what cameras do you have? my wife's JKU came with a Pioneer head unit with a large screen. the rear camera is "hooked up" but the unit doesn't show anything when you put it in reverse. I'm guessing the dealership took it off at some point. I'd like to get one so it's not totally useless.

wow it's so cheap i'm skeptical it's too good to be true, how have they performed for you so far?
Haven't been wheeling with them yet. They're fine around town. And yes, they are so cheap I spent far more time on this than money.
