[trust]

Lift, tires, wheels and steps

Very nice, I like the rim's, whose are they?

Thanks

Installed Rusty’s LCA skids and had a really hard time getting the control arm bolts back through. I thought about this before I started but nobody seemed to mention having any difficulty
Eventually I jacked up the front of the diff to tilt it up and push the LCA forward a smidge.
Oh, and for me there was no way the holes would line up. I had to enlarge the forward bolt hole as many others.

Got my front windows tinted to match the back.

Can I ask which % tint? Does it match well with the stock back?

I did 15 on mine to match

The guy put 20% on to match. Hopefully don’t get ticket. Legal here is 35. Matches perfectly so don’t think it will be big deal

This week I did some more small things.... added a 2nd rear tow hook (with factory cut out) and then painted the hooks front and rear. Then a 4 wheel drive decal and a black raised "OVERLAND" emblem.

I also made a small bar (out of some old motorcycle exhaust pipe bends we had laying around) to mount some lights on the front for my factory Overland bumper.

I really want these, but I guess really I want a set that fits.

Punk'n, looks great!! Do you have the factory part number for the cut out? Thanks...

Thanks. I'm happy with it.

I used the part #'s that forum member DHP listed in this thread:

I agree, it’s irritating having to fit all these parts that are supposed to be bolt on... but there’s nothing else like these on the market. Tbh opening the holes wasn’t too terrible, I hated lining up the LCA bolts though!

Swapped out headlights and converted bulbs in fogs, DRLs and replaced side markers.

Finally got the last major bits of my overlanding build finished yesterday so I'll throw in:
2020 JTR with just about every stock option available. 2.5” Icon lift with custom rear springs for all the added weight. 37” Toyo R/T’s on Black Rhino Madness Wheels:

Slightly modified factory steel bumper. Removed side wings, installed Warn Winch, added FrogFab shackle mounts

Added Alu-Cab Canopy and cargo slide

Mounted the Trail Kitchen (overlandkitchen.com) that came out of my JKUR

Driver's side cupboard filled with air equipment (haven't decided whether I want to mount the ARB dual compressor yet)

Passenger side cupboard has recovery gear

Storage cubes in the forward section of the cargo slide with chairs, water, etc. accessible forward of the cupboards. Not pictured is the Waterport that I just mounted on the Trail Rail

Added some perimeter lighting on both sides contolled by a Trigger 4 Plus that allows us to control lighting in the shell and perimeter from inside the RTT.

James Baroud RTT and Awning

There's a bunch of other minor details but those are the big nuggets.

Not a lot left that I want to do. Probably rock lights to complete the perimeter lighting theme.

That looks very clean and functional.

Looks good! How was the disassembly of the rear bumper to get to the bezel? That thread you linked to said it was a nightmare so they just cut the plastic. I’d rather use the correct bezel. I just ordered the parts...any tips? Thanks
