Baby got a new pair of shoezzzz... Tiny bit taller than the last set of big shoes. Wished Toyo would have offered these when I bought the first set of big ol' shoes.

Great looking ride!!!!

42's my good sir. Biggest Toyo tire they make, and they are 17"!! I love them so far. Quiet, straight as can be, and this being the third set of Toyo M/T's I've owned, always got my money and mileage out of them. Price was awesome for the size. 12$ more than a 40" per tire so I had to get them. It is also the trigger I needed to get the tons under it and these will kinda accelerate that requirement. Haven't done em yet as I've made the drivetrain survive without issue on 40's with plenty of abuse. Knowing full well I'm on borrowed time.

What gears you running?

The lug nuts on mine have an 'M' on them - is that for Mojave? If so, good!

I'd have to double check, but I believe there is an "M" on the ones on my Rubicon.
I just figured it was for metric.

Yep, original lug nuts from my 22JTRD.

Yesterday did a final torque on everything (installed a teraflex lift on Friday).......

However, when I got to some washboard there was rattle front passenger (not sure maybe a shock bolt or the sway bar links) and in the deep washes it bottomed out fast (thinking the bump stop extensions are too tall)

Just an update,
The bonehead installer (ME) missed tighting the upper passenger shock bolt, and after flexing it out, it turns out the front bumps stop extensions are in fact an inch too long. While that tech (ME) needs to remember check each box, The Service writer (Wife) was impressed that the Tech (ME again) diagnosed the symptoms on the test drive.

Tech was reprimanded by Service writer, removed from JT project until her 2015 Countryman All 4s Project gets finished and I owe her a night out without the kids.

Paranoia will destroy ya. I know, but I took it in for its first oil change .. 830 miles. I figured anything that might be in from the engine build would have been flushed out by now.

isn't the M for metric?

I washed mine!! Bought it new in September 9, 2024 and because of everything I installed on it, I can't get it through a carwash... So I had not washed it... Poor thing was all yellow from all the pollen

So finally gave in and washed it myself. It should be good for another 6 months, lol.

The struts follow the fender bolt line when the hood is closed - so your strut didn't touch the bolt heads that hold the bracket to the fender? No rubbing?
That's where my problem was - the bolts that hold the bracket to the fender. But maybe the bracket material for that Voswitch is thin enough it doesn't cause the bolt heads to stick up and touch the cylinder.

Yes no rubbing, I double checked just to make sure. The Voswitch bracket is pretty thin.

It is for metric. Same marking are on my Sport and were on my Rubicon lug nuts.

It’ll have to wait a while. After buying a steering stabilizer, trans pan, gasket, and fluid, I’ve spent enough this week. Plus I have axle CV rebuilds to do, and a partially broken gas tank skid that needs reinforcement.

Or…Mopar.
