Was size tire? How do you like them? I’ve been debating on KO2, wildpeak, Duratrac or nitto for weeks and I just need to pull the trigger. My dullers just aren’t cutting it.. lol
So far, I like the Nittos. They are quiet and seem to have plenty of lugs for the mud/snow when the time comes. It's a 315/70R17 - so almost a 35" tire. I had Duratracs on my last 2-Wranglers and loved them too. I would recommend them to anyone.
I did a lot of reading on the Nitto first and feel confident that they will be a good tire. Also, they seem to be balanced. I read that the Nittos balance nicely, mine seem to be no exception.

What size milestars and how much lift you running?

38x13.50 and RC 3.5" coil lift. Moto Metal -12mm offset and 4.5 backspacing. It doesn't come anywhere close to rubbing on the inner fenders at full lock but not sure off road yet. Mavis charged me $24 a tire to mount and balance but I have to go to a truck shop to get an alignment.

OK the gears are at 500 miles (getting the diff fluid and oil changed this week), again the setup is, 5.13 gears with a 3.5 MetalCloak gamechanger lift and 37x13.5 Toyo open country MTs. The pictures are the before and after on 0-60, it isn't a race car, but it is almost exactly back to stock, .2 second increase in 0-60, only one run, tires did break loose on start. It's enough for now before the SC. The RPMs a great on the highway and on back roads as well and I see 8th gear regularly now. The intake and exhaust (all AFE) is a bit louder than ideal, BUT not much louder than my M3... so I'll take it. Just turned 4000 miles, and the first off road test for this is in 2 weeks, mostly fast sand roads, with some technical spots.

Impressive work - you nailed the font. Did you have any issues sizing it to cover the holes?
I would have liked the letters a little closer together, but this is how it had to be to cover the holes and space them evenly.

Haven’t actually done it yet but just received a present from brown Santa ? .

I sold a JKU hardtop recently and it turned into these. Pretty fair trade I reckon. Waiting on one more rim to get them installed.

I helped my uncle install his new tent. His Roam tent will be up for sale. He went with Roofnest Condor XL.

In terms of my own vehicle I also swapped my Roam tent to CVT Mt. Hood. Set up and take down so much quicker.

This looks awesome! Really makes the snazzberry look badass :rock:

It looks like you might have a soft bed cover folded up in the bed? Any chance on getting a pic with the doors off and the bed canopy up? I have a RSI Smartcap and have been wondering how the JT will look with something over the bed and the doors and/or top off...I'm in Colorado and we just got a bunch of snow this weekend so I'm in no spot to try it myself just yet :(
