  • Gear puller for wipers to drop windshield

Pull out all the guts to make sure the USB socket will fit without hitting radio

Cut a hole in the dash (radio doesn't hit socket but it's close)

Nice rail, can you show a pic with your devices added? Also, how long ago did you order the Arcus? I ordered mine direct from RR on Feb 14 and I still have no firm ship date. I did receive the over rider bar and the 10K winch from the order. They keep pushing back the ship date when I email customer service.

Sorry for delay, I was wheeling in TN this weekend. Here's a shot of what was working at that time, still some playing to be done.

As for the Arcus bumper + 10K RR Winch, I also ordered in Feb (from 4WP). Winch came in pretty quickly but no bumper. In April I started calling around for another bumper option and called RR to untangle part numbers... they had 2-3 bumpers in stock so I ordered on the spot and canceled 4WP order (lucky).

Good luck on bumper. It was worth the wait and I love the look. I'm a bit worried about small rust spots out of the box but I'll remediate as best I can.

Last weekend put on 35" Toyo OC on stock rims. Step one on way to 37" and re-gear next year.

No, not required. No rubbing and to be honest I think it handles/rides better (not exactly sure what's better, I'll need more time). I just wanted a little more tire for off-road and this is perfect for now.

Mine rode and drove better with addition of 35s as well. Like your Mojave…:)

Catching up with my build postings...

AEV 2" Lift with Geometry Brackets

Overall, install took twice as long as I planned.

Ride quality? Still good but since center of gravity is higher you can feel it. I expected this and installed heavier sway bar to help with roll (which I love).
