Sigh. I miss the colorful interiors of the vehicles from yesteryear. My parents had cars with red interiors, blue interiors and green interiors. Roads today are awash with 90% white, black, and grey exteriors all with interiors ranging from drywall grey to black. At least Jeep offers some fun...

Maybe for the same reason that 80% of new vehicles sold have a black interior. Whatever that reason is.

Great size! Hard to find a tent that sleeps a few friends.

I really wish there were soft top color options, but I have never seen one available anywhere besides Sun Top.

Super expensive. But super fun. The mods are the spirit of Jeep ownership!

I do like them. At least, I like them WAAAAAAAY better then the uber-bland, soulless Sport S wheels. I have a Mojave, but my second choice would have been a Sport (non-S) Max Tow. Great choice!

Thinking of you and hoping recovery is complete and quick.

I like how it includes a color-matched hard top and fender flares. As long as the color is black. The price is good though, when you consider the cost to add auto trans and hard top to a sport S. Plus you get a few nice features like remote keyless entry that (I think) are extra on a sport S.

I started to remove my 60% rear seat today using a breaker bar on the four bolts and started stripping the bolts. Did you have any trouble with the bolts?

I'm just getting ready to do a DIY 60% rear seat delete and one part of my reasoning is weight savings. So you, my friend, have just done me a favor with your post. Thank you very much for taking the time to share the weight info!

I second other posters thoughts on the Arcus. Very light weight, but super sold winch plate and hooks. Plus no need to change skid plate.

I have RR Arcus front plus rear bumpers. But first thing I did when they arrived was bring them to local powder coater to have them stripped and custom coated because I don't trust RR finish quality. That said, no problems with either bumper of last several years.

Interesting. Never heard of Dana 50 Avantech axles before.

I think Wranglers can run 16" wheels because they have smaller brakes than Gladiators. I think.

Ummmm....ugh. Yeah. I think you are right. JTs need a 17" rim due to the bigger brakes (I think). Well, that sucks and is also a relief because now I don't have to buy them. Thanks for bringing me back to Earth!

Thanks. But do I NEED those? I might need them. Please tell me all the reasons that they are a bad idea. Please.

Good point.

Maybe consider the M.O.R.E Hide-a-step? I have them and they stay nicely tucked out of the way unless you need them. No electricity or wires, just push them down with your foot and they snap back up once your foot leaves the step: https://mountainoffroad.com/collections/hide-a-step

Watched a vid about the Willy's Dispatcher concept at Easter Jeep Safari that runs a set of super skinny, retro looking tires called 'Super Traxion'. I love pizza cutters and they look fantastic. Plus weigh a mere 50 pounds (according to one website selling them). What a lightweight way to run...

You are probably right! It is a good trade: I get the weight savings that I can put toward more useful mods like a winch. They get the cool looking hood (though I think the classic hood looks way more....classic).
