I have the Motobilt Hammered bumper which you can retain the factory front skid if you'd like.
Unbolting the skid makes it easier to access things such as rerouting the fog light wiring. It's only 4 bolts.
Yep, Blaine and I go back to late 1999 which was not long after he first started to build Jeeps. I started building Jeeps fulltime in 1977 for Rancho and Mickey Thompson.
Nice work with the lathe! Looks sweet.
I have a set of 285/70/R17's Falcon Wildpeak AT3W's mounted and balanced on Mojave wheels including the TPMS's for sale in Southern Maryland if you're interested. Miles on them are ~3500 I think.
A neighbor and I will be installing an AEV 2" spacer lift on my '21 Mojave tomorrow morning starting ~9AM in my garage. I may install the Clayton F&R adjustable track bars and new wheels & 37" tires too. My neighbor has only so much time so we'll see what gets done. I normally work alone but...
How well did the Rubi do on Jack Hammer?
In case you don't recall - here's a sample of the fun you'd have had.

I ran mostly SoCal/Hammers trails for ~35 years. Good times.
Online at 4WP during their holiday's sale. Had them shipped to a local 4WP and picked them up there. Could have had them mounted and balanced for free by 4WP, but decided to have local friend who has literally done thousands of big tires do it instead.
I did not buy the new wheels or new TPMS's...
Hi Adam, :rock: I was actually supposed to do the lift on Saturday with a friend/neighbor who wanted to watch/learn & see what it's like to do a 2" spacer lift on a JT. However, things came up for him so I postponed the lift & did a couple easy installs instead.
I pick-up the mounted tires...
I did end up with a few minutes to toy around in the garage this afternoon.
One thing I need to address is that the Motobilt fairlead mount has gussets that contact the low profile Evo outer assembly on both sides near the base.
A little cutting and some fresh paint does the trick. Wiring is...
Well, I finally had a little time to screw around in the garage today.
Motobilt Hammer bumper install was pretty strait forward.
Depending on how my day goes tomorrow, if I have some garage time, I'll install the winch.
I never get tired of seeing more of east county.
I *might* be in SoCal again from Jan 21 to 30
Pre-covid, I use to travel back to SoCal/San Diego about twice a month for work. I'd usually take a few days off while there to visit family, friends, and occasionally wheeling/riding shotgun.
Both...
