I like it! Those wheels were my first option, but the wifey wouldn’t agree to bronze. I wanted them in black, but couldn’t find them in stock “due to COVID”.....Very nice.

Thanks! I wanted a pop of color with all the grey and black, and I think the bronze does that perfectly.
The old lady is getting my overland wheels and my Dick Cepek Trail Country tires for her Wrangler, so she didn't have any complaints! Haha.

Picked up my jewel after the dealer installed the MOPAR lift. Loved the drive home, felt it handled better than the 2021 had with the MetalCloak lift (RIP Gladys). Height seems good. Next up, shoes.

Few installs over the last few weeks on a daily driver, overland build.

Smittybilt X20 10k winch in factory winch ready bumper

Factor55 Ultrahook red but will switch to gray

Mopar grille guard

Rockslide Engineering Step Slider

Bestop Sunrider
———-

Upcoming

Thursday - Armorlite interior flooring

painting my red hooks and highlights gun metal or black - re-powdercoat them if this is possible

going to relo the winch control box to a frame rail and reinstall the bumper winch cover to completely conceal the winch. This requires the winch to be rotated. I saw a great post on it and will follow accordingly. Stealth AND protects the line

Replacing black oxide torx bumper bolts with stainless equivalents. I like a stealth, slight aggressive look.

very light ceramic tint on front windshield to know down some of the heat gain

LineX paint job on car (white)

Debadge all RubI stickers.

let me know what you think

Sure!
They're fairly tucked in, which is what I wanted.

I finished my “stealth” winch install with manual shutoff.
Pretty happy with how it looks.

My favorite winch install!

questions

1: any safety issues with rotating gearbox?

2: do you think if left as new (no gearbox rotation but still relo’ing the control box) the cover plate would go back on? I was thinking of having a non descriptive, extended clutch handle fabricated and poke through the winch cover plate. I was contemplating something like a key so I could remove it and prevent zombies from free spooling out and cutting the line and stealing my $250 factor55 hook.


3: any chance if installing the plastic trim piece to further cover the synthetic rope? Lots of sun here and I park outside

Thanks! I love seeing all the cool ideas and stuff people come up with on here. Just another idea I took from here.

1. don’t see any safety issue. Actually the smittybilt instructions cover rotating the gearbox so they think it’s ok.

2. I thought of the same thing at first, but the clutch handle would hit the cover plate. I thought about trying to drill it and get longer handle or something but makes way more sense to rotate gearbox. It was easy, hides, has plenty of room for your hand to fit.

3. I wish plastic piece for back on! Everything blocks it, the winch spook would interfere and the wiring on the right takes up a bit of room as well there. I wonder ifyou could somehow mount it higher with longer plugs or something? I’ve been thinking of a way to cover it but was just thinking of a plastic plate covering the spool or something

I am dropping mine off on Friday. Where did you get your doors?
