Finally got my new Tires. 35 x 12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts on Icon Alloy Vectors 17 x 8.5, -6 offset. I love the stance with the AEV 2” spacer lift.

Was really considering those wheels/tires with my AEV lift.
Looks great!

With thanks to JTBurns for for the inspiration & his Amazon shopping list, did some budget tie downs. These are fine for now as I’m just looking to secure gas cans, coolers, etc. In the future I might add some L channel or unistrut if I need something more heavy duty.
This would fit my needs perfectly, thanks for sharing! Quick question, can you elaborate on how you installed? Want to confirm where the washer nuts fit into the equation.

The washer nuts were something I added. I originally wanted to be able to rotate them but I don’t think it’s necessary.Since I already had them, I used the washer nuts to cover the hole in the tie downs. Between those, the threaded inserts in the bed & the lock nuts they shouldn’t come loose. If someone does figure out how to mount them so they can rotate I’m certainly open to suggestions.

Painted my grille today. Im happy-ish with the result.... Definitely not as nice as an actual MOPAR Satin Grille.

Wondering if I should've painted the headlight surrounds and grille inserts as well... Thoughts?

Installed the Rock Hard lower control arm and shock skid plates. Installed a Rough County front differential skid plate and then an ASFIR engine skid plate and their transfer case skid plate. I have ordered the Metal Cloak rear differential skid plate and the Rusty's LCA skid plates.

Conceived my JT a sibling!

Placed my order for a JLUR in Tuscadero for my better half. Loaded build with LEDs, Steel Bumpers, cold weather, One Sky top, Perf leather, full time 4x4, alpine, etc. only thing we wanted but could not get was the dual door group. It’s not available with the pearl Tuscadero paint.

I’m going to have to reorg the garage to make room…..
