What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

Finally got around to replacing all of the interior factory bulbs with LED. Wow what a difference.....Pics to follow when its dark.

Which ones did you end up going with?

Ultimate 44 and Rock Krawler springs . So far the springs far exceed my expectations.

Landed some used bilstein shocks recently and improved my ride.:smiley_drive:

my "expo" jeep is only 2 weeks old ish, but last week i had 4.10 gears and a limited slip diff added. had to get 500 easy miles on them for break in, then pop the covers to inspect, and change the fluid.

rear diff, with powertrax grip pro LSD.

front diff, just got a new dana spicer open carrier and gears

cleaning all the silicone off from the prior 2 installs (factory and the gear shops) took a bunch of paint off in the solvent tank, so i glass bead blasted them and cleaned them, then shot some semi gloss black on them, also wire wheeled all the bolts and painted them as well

all sealed up with permatex ultra grey. then filled with valvoline 85w140 gear oil.

Finally got around to yanking out the interior and putting some bed-liner in the tub of the JKU. Tons of work, but it should be worth it. Second coat goes on tomorrow AM.

So seats and carpet out and bedliner the whole interior or just the cargo space? What's the idea there?

The semi-flat black makes such good undercarriage paint. The look is just perfect for it.

Replaced all 4 front control arms. Pressing/cutting/hammering the bushings out on the axle was a bear with the wide pan of the V8 in the way. But the 21 year old Jeep drives like a brand new car! Well, a brand new solid axle truck anyway. Taking it to the shop for an alignment and some help tracking down an idle misfire this afternoon.

Installed the control box, relays for remote controlling the accessories, Aux Lights, reverse lights, compressor and one more free for further accessories.

Got my dual band radio permanently installed. Finally. A decent antenna mount was the tricky part as I'm not into drilling holes in the Jeep. I think it's working pretty well, though would work a lot better if I had a better ground plane.
