I already own a set of 35" KO2's so i am going to run them for a minute and then i am going with Geolander 37's. But I have the Blue Mojave and i want to either tie the orange in the Mojave or the Blue in the jeep into the rims. Right now still rocking stock.

be curious to see your 35’s on the lift. What did they measure out to on the wheel?

Id think about a black wheel with orange bead lock ring. Id be concerned blue wheels would be too over the top. For my tastes, at least.

That is what I was thinking also but the orange will make me look like an over the top Astros fan lol.
35/1250R-17/10 is the size of the tire I am using. Also putting on my winch this weekend. I cheaped out and got the Badlands winch from harbor freight figured 9k was enough with synthetic rope. But I am using the Rubicon steel bumper and changed out the red hooks to my orange ones that came with the plastic bumper.

It annoys me that the Tacoma has various electrical power ports in the truck bed and the JT often does not. So, I installed my own. I also used an uncommon plug assembly configuration called a Trolling Motor Connector. I removed the battery clamps from my Smittybilt Air Compressor and spliced a male connector. I can also do this for other things like Solar Panels, Generators, Lights, and Power Tools. I now have power whenever I need it. While I was at it, I removed the infamous and cheap air hose that comes with the Smittybilt unit and used an extra ARB compressor hose and gage. The different brands reverse connectors, so I had to resolve that as well. It's now quite robust. As you can see, I also opted not to permanently mount my Air Compressor in the JT. I installed an Aramis Swing Box.

So I go to start to put the lift on today and start laying the parts out... Fabtech didn’t include the shock extensions.... So I have to get with them on Monday to figure out WTF happened.

Dude thats a bummer. I finally got tracking numbers; im wondering if they are two separate packages. Hoping to install this week.

Hey who has that orange/black American flag decal? Where’d you get it?

Was it @RYSlimVegas19 ?

I have six ARB shackles being powder coated Prismatic Brentwood Orange now, hopefully ready next week. Since I lost my orange hooks when I went to the LOD bumper, I figured it would look good.
