Finally got a chance to try out my JCR half doors, they are awesome. Tossed on the Rain Gear cover as well to keep the critters at bay.

Did a 5 tire rotation and changed the oil! Took all morning but glad it is done! Now on to mounting the ARB twin with 813 behind the rear seat mount!

Teraflex 1" front spacers

Rydonair shorty

Did you install the spacers yourself?

Had the Rubicon takeoffs installed on my Overland model with the 285/70 R17 DuraTracs thanks to Don from @Discount Tire on the forum. Great tire at a great price. The guys went to put the stock rims in the back and I was like wait just a minute. Good thing I had the BakFlip X4s installed from @RealTruck

Picked up a soft top from another Gladiator owner and got it installed for the summer. Really liking how simple it is to open up!

Looks good! Good choice in tires.

A little bedazzling today ? door sill guards... They don't really protect much, but they look right on the Willy.

That bad huh?

save yourself a bit of headache, go ahead and wallow out the forward most hole before coating them.

 

[Tarantularock]

I just finished putting on some rockhard patriot bars. The Body bolts stressed me … but no problems except for a bashed thumb. I did have to drill out a few of the pinch weld holes.

I read all about and saw a few rare cases where no mod was needed.

I painted mine only to find out that both skid plates needed a little bit of reaming. I installed everthing as loose as I could and there was no way all three holes would ever line up.

I don't know why they don"t just make the holes a touch bigger.

These are the ACE sliders, yes, but in my case the scratches and rust were a result of trail damage. I didn't experience an issue with the original coating. I did power sand the damage and then hit the exposed metal with POR15 top coat before spraying bedliner for the texture.

What bedliner did you use and did you find that it aids in slip resistance when stepping up or out?

Sadly not all After market parts are the same quality.
