Awesome setup now you got me rethinking not going to a Rubicon and keeping my Mojave.
I love my Rubi. But the Mojave ride can’t be beat

I was thinking of doing the AEV 2 inch lift and 35’s. That should handle anything that I throw at it. I’m not in to rock crawling. I might at away bar disconnects at some point.

I’d start with just the 35s as they’ll fit easy with no lift and see how ya like it. Don’t raise the center of gravity unless you know you need that ground clearance. Just my 2 cents

cheapest rugged ridge they offered. on sale 200 bucks. needed my winch on and that was the quickest solution at the time. I want to get an aluminum one that recesses the winch for better leverage or lack off i guess. And yeah rustoleum white enamel. so much cheaper than anything else, just tape off tire, sand the gouges and scuffs and apply a coat for touch up. I'd be crying if i paid for powder coat rn. A jackass forced me off the fire trail last trip (you'd think people would understand that you'd stick to the right especially on blind corners, but NO 55mph on left!). Shoved my passenger wheels into a gravel mud mixture for a good distance. That shit was the fastest 150 grit wet sand in history! ? Not to mention the kid at discount was new and stripped the whole lip on one of em. Told him not worry about it, i had a can in the truck. He was shocked how well they looked. Thought they were brand new aftermarket wheels. ?

I like your radio setup. Especially the mount. Do you mind telling me where it came from?

I ran power under all the black trim on the roll bars. I love this setup cus i can actually hear the radios at 80 mph top down with no added speaker. Plus keeps all accessories out of the way and not cluttering the already small dash foot print. Its a sturdy bastard too. I've sat on it while repairing my soft top.

My dumb ass sat there for a good 30 seconds trying to figure out what the thing to the left of the skid plate was, until I realized it was a crawler LOL.
