Just got a brand new set off marketplace for 250 couldn't pass them up. Ordered some rugged ridge inner fender liners waiting for those to do the install. I am also considering wrapping them in matte or satin black to match my grill
I am also from LI. I just recently got the Recon Grapplers and haven't has any issues in the rain don't know about snow yet. I have driven on Sore thumb and Demo a few times and handled it like a dream. the Last time at Sore Thumb I forgot to put it in 4WD untill I was leaving.
I have the Diode Dynamics headlights and the SS3 Pro amber fogs and they look amazing. I also swapped out the lights in the fender with Morimoto smoked leds
I also have a Sport S and just got Method 701 with 0 offset (I don't like too much poke) and like you its my daily and didn't want to do 35's so I went with 255 80/R17 Recon Grapplers which are 33's but a bit narrower
When I contacted them this week they said Q3 on the panels but who knows if thy were being honest. I like the flexibility to be closed like a cap or open like a rack with the panels when or if they come available
I am looking to see if anyone has installed the Ibex rack It looks nice but cant find many reviews. I like the look and options it has and Kuat says the panel kit will be available in Q3.
Nothing at the moment I have a 16ft enclosed trailer I use from time to time, I really just wanted the wide axles, LSD and 4.10 gears. I had no real use for lockers because the most "off roading" I do is drive on the beach.
