Added Ko2 37x12.5 c rated. The Mojave should come stock with these, lol. Think I will change the wheels at some point, kind of over the black wheels.

Looks great, wish I'd gone straight to the 37s (said everyone that ever bought 35s).

You'd be really happy with some aftermarket wheels. I went with Method 707 Bead Grips, which have just the slightest bit of poke. Even with 35s, the improvement in the ride quality was noticeable. Ride is now perfectly smooth, and the Mojave is much easier to keep straight on the road at interstate speeds. The K02s balanced with barely any weight on the Methods, whereas the same tires on the stock wheels took a ton of weight to balance. Quite frankly, I was astonished at how much better it drives now.

Underbody and frame work on the LJ today. Detail shop did the cleaning, I am just doing the Rust Converter 3M and HD metal protect coatings for rust prevention. Does @Lunentucker approve?

So Finally got around to installing all the stock rear bed outlet parts. Flashed the ecu with Jscan to turn it on, along with turning on the hood alarm. Probably should have done the horn flip but my hands were feeling it from futzing around with the security bypass cables.

Started today installing the AEV 2.5" lift I bought last weekend. Just finished up before dark with the front half, will tackle the back half tomorrow. First time dealing with geo relocation brackets and bit of a pisser. My tolerance of rolling around on the ground doing this type of stuff is waning.

LOL. I know what you mean. Fooling around myself on the ground trying to separate the electrical connectors was a pain in the arse and took way longer than it should have. Swapping suspension bits…….i hope you at least had an impact gun.

looks good so far.
