Too good of a Facebook marketplace deal. 40” Yokohama MTs on Side Tracked bead locks with TPMS already installed. Have to modify the sliders so I took them off for now and need to do the front fender chop. Getting a weird shimmy only at 40 mph so need to go back through the front end.
I...
Tires a much louder now, I’ve heard the new MT2 version is much better but I can’t speak for those. These were such a good price I couldn’t pass them up. Happy with them but wore faster than I would have liked.
Paint was chipping real bad on my bed rack so I finally got it powder coated and back on the JT. First time having it back on with the tent and the spare tire. Ready for some adventures again
Added an air tank in the bed. Did some testing and it ended up being about 43% faster. Pretty happy with it and will be adding some more tanks under the bed in the near future.
Finally made a video on the spare tire basket. More suitable for the Wrangler but there are a few JTs with spare tires mounted on the back. Additional storage never hurts!
Thanks! I can’t remember exactly since it’s been so long since I built this and material prices have fluctuated since then but I think just for aluminum portion it was only like $150 in material and about 5 hours of labor total. I ended up adding more to it later
