Nutz! I had to assemble my wheel deflated so I personally filled mine up. It says don’t exceed 40psi right on the tire.

Ok here’s a fun fact. I factory ordered my Jeep in May. Yesterday I was playing some basketball and for no particular reason I decided to check the actual MFG date of my truck! And no shit it was 06 20, my birthday!

I guess I'll be ordering a set of mud flaps asap!

I recommend the rock blokz did you notice a power difference with the 35s? Those look especially tall and I know Toyos are heavy

I just ordered a set of front Rokblokz thanks! well I guess you’ll notice a tad of a dip in pep anytime you get larger tires but nothing to lose sleep over. As far as being heavy, they are 78lbs and 34.8” tall vs say a Nitto mud grappler with is 79 lbs and 34.84 tall or a KM3 at 74.4lbs and 34.5” tall. Lighter than some and heavier than other I guess. I will say this though, I love them so far and they haven’t failed me in the grip department yet off road. the true test for me will be in a couple months when the snow starts to fly and I’ll let you know what I think about them then.

Well my Rokblokz mud flaps came in yesterday. Pretty easy install, I had to trim one inner fender well out with a 1/8 notch but other than that they went in as advertised.

I went with the standard original size as I didn't what the to be a focal point. Also I never did the rear as I didn't feel as though I needed them. I guess I could always add them if I change my mind.

Well I'm bailing on installing the Mopar lift on my own. I guess I'll just chalk it up to insurance down the road, god forbid something go's wrong and they try and blame the lift.

I'm also getting them to check my issue of 4low popping out on me when I'm on trail, as well as the steering issue we all know so much about.

Well I hope to get it back today so I can get this thing ready for the long weekend. Supposed to rain here a bit so I'm looking forward to seeing how the lift performs as well as the tires when its slick.

Well I have to say I'm mucho please with the lift looks great and drives exactly as it did yesterday!

As far as the steering box go's they ordered the part and no problem on that front.

Well just a little update on the lift. As far as the ride goes it feels pretty much stock which i suppose is a good thing. The big gain i noticed was articulation.

Also, I aired down for the first time today and WOW! Sooo much more comfortable. Twin ARB incoming for sure.

I also had it on some pretty decent incline and declines today as well.

Hey man your jeep is looking great. Pro move there with the powder coating on the wheels. I wish my wheels were actual beadlocks. Keep it up

Thanks I appreciate it.

Although my wheels are bead lock capable they are not set up as such right now. I do like the fact that I have that option available to me if I choose.

Well I installed the Fox steering stabilizer and I have to say I’ve noticed and fair bit of difference. However my truck now pulls to the right and I’m not sure if it from a shitty alignment from the lift install or if it’s from the stabilizer install. Not too worried because I have to take it in for the new steering box so I figured I’d deal with it then.

One more thing to update is the Tazer mini. I still haven’t installed it cause my fat fingers could not unplug both of the OE plugs. I have to find a video on how to remove the panel on the left lower side of the steering colum.

God I haven't updated in a bit!

A few pics up in the snow on new years day.
