Installed a Bushwacker Stone Guard (Part No. 14093). Texture/finish match nicely with the fenders. Standard double sided tape, so no drilling or bolts required.

Looks like it fits great, without any gaps. Thanks for the pic! I may have to get one of these

I have a full set (5) tires and rims not worth the hassle to me. If you have a rubi - not even a question
Thanks. Just to clarify, not a question for a Rubicon because of the higher lift? Was planning on 35’s with no addl lift on my Rubicon.

It was more to do with axles and lockers - which rubi has - Are you going to use steel wheel and a matching tire or just keep the stock spare - which would be usable but not optimal

Got it. I was questioning putting a 35 on the steel wheel instead of buying a 5th wheel, but really only if there would be good reason not to put a nice wheel under the bed since it would likely have a different offset.

General wheel question for the forum. Are people replacing the steel rim under the bed when upsizing tires? Trying to understand if I should be budgeting for 4 or 5 rims. Thanks.
I kept the factory steel rim for the spare.

Not worth a fancy spare wheel unless you are planning to do 5-tire rotations to extend the life of the set.

Added the Topsy Products NMO mount for my ham radio antenna. Put down some 3M body tape so nothing happens to the fender. Next step is running the antenna coax and power inside the cab. This mount is perfect.

Figured out the cuts for the factory insert so I don’t have to cut the actual insert if people have the trail cam.

Demon eyes and under glow / rocklights were last weeks mod.

I want a grill mesh with the punisher logo but I don’t know how to get it to work with my trail camera. How did you get it to work ?

Researched a ton of tonneau covers...Rough Country, Rugged Ridge, Weathertech...ultimately went with the Mopar tri-fold hard tonneau and couldn’t be happier with the fit and finish, top quality product/materials and I paid $850 including free shipping via eBay.

Oh and for the record, torx head screws can go F off, what an absolute PAIN messing with 4 bolts that should screw in under 2 minutes that ended up taking a good 30 minutes of frustrating attempts to line up the allen wrench in the torx head and fumble with 1/4 turns...pretty sure that allen wrench is now orbiting the earth after I chucked it out of the garage once I tightened the last one ;)

Mine is also coming in with the Mopar hard cover.
I will be pleased I see.....

I’d like to see the whole installation including the radio along with recommendations on choice of radios. Thanks

Installed my tailgate step today. Fairly easy install, great heavy duty construction, and makes it a lot easier to step up into the bed.

Where did you source the step? Thanks.
