Mine doesn’t have a trail rail, so clamps it is. Seems super sturdy. No real issue besides some bedrail deformation. But, that will happen regardless of mounting method.

Yup. I believe Max Tow has the same.

Tires are 35x12.5r17s and the poke is minimal in the rear, but a bit more in the front due to the wider axles. Best pics I have to show the poke. Not bad at all.

If you want to keep the wheels tucked or, at least semi-tucked, you probably want a 9 inch width or less with something between 5.77 and 5.5 backspacing. Here’s how the wheels you are looking at compare to stock: They will poke around 3.5 inches more than stock. AEV makes wheels with a 8.5...

I second this. Pricey, but also my favorite mod so far. I open the top up far more than I would if I was using the freedom panels.

Forgot that I took a screenshot of this a few months ago. Doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would.

Just a thought, KMC has wheels in their Offroad Tech Series that are 17x9 +18 (5.71 backspace). A bit more poke when compared to AEV (I believe around 13MM or 1/2 inch more poke - 3/4 inch total), but about 12MM less than the Warn wheels.

Happy with mine in 35x12.5r17. Fairly quiet for an E-rated tire with good traction off road (I live in OR, so no rock crawling yet). It is heavy in that size though. ~72 pounds. Can't beat the price at under $1k for 5.

I believe they are. There is an option to turn them off in the U-Connect though, I turned mine off so I only have the Oculus halos on as DRLs. Edit: This is for the halogen turn signals. Not sure if it applies to the LED option.

Mine also needed a bit of tension to install. I sent them a message, but haven't heard back. Maybe if I tag them here... @Bestop

I guess I don’t know how I could have put it together incorrectly. Haha. It is the easiest thing I have installed on my JT. Minus the dang z-clips.

https://www.quadratec.com/p/lod/jfb1835-signature-series-shorty-front-bumper-without-bull-bar-jeep-wrangler-jl/standard-winch-bumper-jfb1831 I didn’t know you could get it without it. Def an option I would have considered, but I wanted to keep the weight to a minimum.

The Arcus is stamped steel. You can drill holes elsewhere for your lights. Just a thought.

I posted in another thread too but, I also added a Sunrider and all that I’ve seen are nice and smooth. Mine looks like this: Doesn’t seem right.

I also love mine. Question though...does anyone’s look like this? If it is a normal amount of wrinkling, all good. Just want to make sure.

Tough list. I thought LOD or Ace stubby, but both have overrider bars. DV8 or eBay Mopar Steel knockoff? I think the Mopar would cover your needs, but it is a bit more $$$. I’ve seen you post in Arcus threads. I can see if I can get you a picture of the beam pattern with the KC Spots. No...

VR Evo 10s. Tight fit for me, but I installed with the wires tucked. I believe I have seen someone install a Zeon 10s in the Arcus. Edit: Yup, TJDave has a Zeon I believe. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/attachments/jt37-jpg.139015/

You have a JTR with a plastic bumper, so you can re-use the stock steel skid. One of the many reasons I went with the Arcus. I had most of the same requirements you did.

Rugged Ridge Arcus fits the bill. Light weight, so not gonna take a huge beating but works for my use.

I wonder the same, as I also have a SmartCap. I am guessing it will look something like this...
