Awesome video. What's the song that was playing the first half of the video?

Thanks for following our coverage and we'll be sure to do a video of all the mods we've done :yup:
Eddie, I was looking at the video again and am particularly interested in your thoughts on the EVO tire carrier. I also wanted to ask your opinion on using the EVO overland drop brackets and the rear track bar bracket. Is it best to use the new bracket or adjustable track bars with a lift of 3.5”? I didn’t see a front bracket so I’m assuming an adjustable trackbar is all that is required? This would all be to add to the current Rancho Sport 3.5” lift I have now.
What Overlander said but also a raised rear trackbar mount also raises the roll center back to factory like. The JL rear roll center was significantly raised and keeping it high is one of the many things that makes it handle better.Eddie, I was looking at the video again and am particularly interested in your thoughts on the EVO tire carrier.

The tire carrier is the same as it was for the JK. It’s a solid design.
Eddie is running the evo trackbar relocation bracket in the rear with the Rancho 3.5” kit he is running.

SEMA is a show that Cindy and I have been covering for almost 15 years now and while we have been lucky enough to have had Jeeps of ours on display there and on multiple occasions, this year wasn't going to be one of them. However, in spite of the fact that we would just be attending the show as journalists, we still ended up having to work feverishly on our Jeep JL Wrangler and with just days to get everything done. In this episode of the JL JOURNAL, you'll get a glimpse at some of the things we had to do before hitting the road for 2 weeks and you'll even get a taste of the video coverage we'll be bringing you from the Las Vegas Convention Center. We hope you enjoy.
Eddie,
The rear trackbar bracket install looks pretty straight forward in your video. Does the Evo bracket slide over the top of the factory bracket completely? I was attempting to install mine today but it is narrower than the factory bracket and won’t slide over. Just wanted to know your thoughts. Thanks
Yes, it may take a little encouragement to get it on but it needs to go over the factory mount. From there, you will need to use it as a template to drill a hole in the factory mount.
