Black Rhino Abrams 20x9.5 -18 offset wrapped in 35x12.5x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Sport S is 99% stock just removed the air damns. Going to do a level or lift soon but no more than 2” max. Looks so much better and no longer looks like a neutered dog!!!

Those are awesome; haven't seen them before! Better than plastic, IMO.

Those wheels are AWESOME!! I'd have a set if I didn't get such a great deal on LE wheels. The Abrams are my first choice. Nice Job!

I wasn’t sold on the color initially but my wife was 100% you need those wheels. Momma gets what momma wants right? Nobody tell her I gave her credit for this. LOL. I’m very happy with them now.

finally the new bumper and winch.

Better than given her credit CARD for them!

Which Bumper is that? I want a full width and I am looking at options?

You'll need to pick up the Mopar steel skid plate and brackets to install it on your JT...

For some reason, my JT came from the factory with the correct brackets for the steel skid plate. It did not have the sheetmetal crossmember that is present with the plastic bumper. Yet, it had the plastic bumper. Looking closely at an image of the steel skidplate from BAMWholesale, it looks like a couple nutplates and screws and I'm good to go.

The second (most visible) bracket is part of the Rock Hard winch plate.

If you haven't already, check out the Warn Elite Full Width. I have some pictures in my posts and profile picture.

My miss, for some reason I was thinking you had a Sport or Overland...
You are correct, the Rubicon comes with the brackets already for the metal bumper plate..
I didn't think you even need the nut plates, those were to bolt the brackets to the frame....
Mine had the holes, but to nut plates.. I installed both the nuts and brackets....
Only 1 bolt per bracket is used to hold the plate...

There are two mounting bolts for each side of the Rubicon skid plate. They should be about 8-10 inches apart..... two on the left and two on the right......

Correct.. I'm referring to the bracket bolts. There is only 1 on each side...
