Wife is away this week, so I FINALLY had a chance to tackle a bunch of projects building up, some for >6months!

1) Installed the Oracle tailights. They work 100%, no errors, even with the already installed Oracle bumper reverse lights. Fitment is meh, but can't notice standing at a distance.

2) Mounted a Toughstuff Overland shower awning with Joolca accessories.

3) Installed a Midland MXT275 radio. Used a hood mount and a bulkhead connector to keep it clean.

4) Installed a light bar under the bumper and swapped over my Badland Apex winch hook for a shackle mount

5) Installed KC cyclone lights under the hood.

Still have more projects pending, this was all I could do in the only 2 days I had back at home.

Oooo, who makes those mud flaps??

Edit: Nvm, I found them. I just recognized the logo.

So, I’d never heard of these tires so I did a little 30 second search…

Unless you’re trying them out as disposable tires you may want to reconsider.



Granted I’m not super hard on my tires I tend to take care of them, the part of this video where he shows them at or before the tire rotation I’ve never seen a tire wear this quickly and poorly. There’s definitely a place for cheap tires. For example the mild star Patagonia‘s. They last half as long but are quite a bit cheaper than what the main stream market has to offer. The question is where is the point of diminishing returns? If you’re replacing a tire twice as often is another brand you’ll have to come out of pocket sooner for the next CERT reducing the actual initial savings. I’m definitely not trying to be a Debbie downer, but if you hadn’t considered this and it’s not too late to return them I just thought I’d try to chime in before they were mounted and not returnable.

Wow that tire and wheel combo look awesome. Any chance we can get a couple photos looking down the side of the vehicle to see the poke with a +25 wheel?

I was planning track bars but the spare fits in the rear and I honestly can't even see the offset. The spacer lift was just supposed to be a temporary thing, but I'm damn happy with how it looks. Will have to see how it drives for a while.

Honestly a smidge more poke than I wanted, but it looks perfect imo. Maybe a tire that runs a little narrower would get them completely under.

Great. Thanks for taking the time.

A little delay but I purchased my 2022 Willys about a month ago and have loved every second of it. Just a few minor additions: Go Rhino D6 side steps, Truxedo ProX15, and some amazon mirrors when I remove the doors. All great products.

Would you mind sharing a picture from top of the winch/bumper setup. I have the same and the wire from the winch is pushing up against the grill.

Sorry I won’t be home for about 10 days now. I actually drilled a new exit point on the winch housing so the wire exits to the side instead of the rear.

I'm not sure if this is the same as what he did but I moved my wiring for the winch as well.

Drove 6 hours round trip this morning to get a Sunrider. Installed it in about 30 minutes (including cleaning the weather seals) and like it already.
