Working solo on these upgrades today, if it were any heavier I wouldn't have been able to get it done.

• Got rid of the plastic bumper and installed the Fishbone mid-width bumper
• Rugged Ridge Trekker s10
• Liked the retro look of and $29 price of the Harbor Freight off road truck lights ?. Will look for some LED H3 bulbs to brighten them up
• Found my cheater bar to get the lug nuts loosened and put on lock nuts.

Mounted the Trekker's solenoid backwards since the cables were butting into the grill, will run a cover until I figure out a better bracket mount.

Thanks to yall on this forum, was able to get this stuff tackled pretty easily with all the great info here!

Are the wires long enough to try a remote mount for the control box?

First oil change and added a UPR catch can then gave it a much needed bath

Dang - that is AWESOME, thanks for the link! They might be long enough to do that - will have to do some measuring, hopefully can make it work or something similar. Thanks again!

Great looking tires, you liking them? Been eyeballing them a while myself....

So far so good, only 100 miles into them. Didn't notice any extra road noise and no rubbing. They raised me up a couple inches and make the Jeep proportions look better.

I installed the Metal Cloak Front Axle Disconnect skid plate today. I ran into issues. I had an interference fit with the Hard Rock front Lower Control Arm skid plate that I had previously installed. I had to remove the LCA skid plate and trimmed it and the FAD skid. What a pain, but got it to fit and repainted everything. It just took a lot longer than I anticipated. Tomorrow I'll install the stabilizer relocation kit from Metal Cloak.

Pics please

How do you like the revo ATs?

How do you like the revo ATs?

Absolutely love them! They are Load E, so a bit more firm ride but they're quiet, balanced well and ride great. My 14th Jeep and I've tried every tire brand/model out there.

I swapped into a set of dueler ATs recently and love em as well. It seems like Bridgestone is not going to make them much longer so the revos were my next option. Glad they’re working out!

I trimmed about 3/8" from the edge off of the Hard Rock LCA skid plate. I then trimmed the Metal Cloak FAD skid plate on a radius so the LCA bolt would not hit that skid plate.

After 5 months of waiting it finally came together.

@Quadratec Morphic Wheels with 35” Toyo AT3s 35x12.5 from @Discount Tire (big props to the DT Forum ppl for getting the tires the next day and painless price matching). @extremeterrain black wheel nuts pulled it all together.

MMMII, Thank you for the shout out as well as the outstanding photos, love the red. The second photo with the shadows from the window makes it look surreal.

Good choice on the tires and wheels.
