Installed 2 in mopar lift. BFG KM2 37x12.5x18 tires. Black Rhino Mozambique wheels.

37s and RSE steps installed! 3” Rock Krawler Pro X “No Limits” Stage 1 lift on the way. Will update with more pictures when I get it installed. Loving the upgrades so far!

Looks fantastic. Will be curious to see the impact on MPG in real world use, but looks like you increased the smiles per gallon anyway...

Thank you. I love how its coming along so far. I live in a really small community with lots of stop lights so I was already averaging 12 mpg. Im scared to even look now lol. Im making a major drive at the end of the month though so Ill let you know.

Wrap on hood and tailgate

I wrapped my hood and fuel door and in between the door windows.

I've been looking to do that same tailgate treatment on mine. Did they also put vinyl on the Jeep logo or does it just look more gray with the black wrap? Also, do you mind me asking what that part of the wrap ran cost wise?

They actually pull the logo off and reattached it with adhesive. The logo is stock. I have seen folks spray them with Plasti-dip to change the colors. I am sure Greg at Sun Stoppers could do that for you. He is charging $300 for a tailgate wrap like mine.

Nice shop - and is that a noodle on the jack handle to prevent banging or scratching the bumper?

I wish I could take credit for the shop, but that belongs to @DMC1 - he has been gracious enough to allow me to use his awesome heated shop and tools (plus provide extra hands and guidance) on my Gladiator mods.

That is his idea on the noodle on the jacks.

Anyone looking for a shade tree mechanic to mod your Jeep in the greater Charlotte area - I'd reach out to him. He is really knowledgeable and bet he'll give you good pricing!

Had the bed sprayed, decided on Line-X. The shop’s attention to detail was mediocre, they did not remove the rear mounts for the rail system spraying over them and broke one of the bolts for the rail system when reinstalling the rails.

Same happened to mine, in hindsight I should have said something...as they also sprayed over the drainage plugs...

Made a .50 cal antenna. Bought a 13" red metal antenna on Amazon, then used an inert M2 round that I plastdipped. Epoxied it to the antenna and done, for less than $20. For those worried, no part of this was ever a real bullet.

Cool. Thanks. I actually found a place that sells the letters you have. Mine is sting gray, too, but the sports just have black letters. I've got the new logo on order and I talked to them today. I'll be stopping by their shop in Concord this week to talk.

I see you're in Virginia. Don't drive that into DC. I'm not kidding. Empty cartridge cases are defined under DC law as "ammunition," and unlawful possession of ammunition (i.e., don't have a DC firearms license) is punishable by up to one year in prison in DC. I'm a lawyer and am not making this up. Out of staters actually have been prosecuted on these grounds for having empty cartridge cases--items that are less harmful than a stick--in their vehicles.

 

[Donkey Fluffer]

It's made out of hard plastic. It never was a bullet and never could be. Thank you for your concern.

I added a sentence to my post above so nobody else need get concerned. But, I honestly wasn't worried anyway.

No sense drawing unnecessary attention, from a distance it looks real.
Cheers
