Installed JCR's tire carrier on my uncle's JT. Quite a few issues, will be calling them tomorrow. First is that the two side pieces that act as stepper and slider don't line up with the bumper. It is misaligned by quite a bit. Second is that their rear backup extension kit doesn't work with the rear camera on my uncle's JT. Not sure but maybe Jeep changed the backup cam as it doesn't match the one on their JT install video. The bracket that holds the camera itself, and the extension cable doesn't fit the camera.

Front bumper/winch re-installed WITH stinger :facepalm:. This is the last of my first wave of mods and I'm happier than a pig in $#!T with how it all came out. Maybe some time later this year I can focus on adding some lights to the chase rack, bumper etc. Keep posting your wicked ideas, you guys give the inspiration to empty the wallet!

I do like that look though. Loved the spare mount on the original concept.

Not going to lie, it does look good. It's just several issues with them that is a bit annoying. Weekend prior we were about to install it, oem bumpers off, everything, to find out they didn't ship any bolts and hardware for the bumper. So had to wait a week for them to get here. To be fair their customer service was good and sent the bolts with no hassle. Now the sides don't bolt up properly, and the more annoying part is the backup cam not working. Also, their powdercoating (well whichever powdercoat company they use) is not good at all. Just a light tightening of a screw would chip off the coating.

Anyways, hoping by next weekend (third weekend in a row), we can finally finish up the install if we're able to solve those two issues.

I installed the RK 3.0 no limits lift and then took her down to get 37s installed replacing the 35s and 3” mopar lift the dealer installed. Gears are coming on the 30th.

Which sliders is she wearing ? They look like they hide the pinch weld nicely …...are you getting much "usable step" out of them ?

Installed the Oracle 7" LED Headlights yesterday. Absolutely love them. Gives a nice and clean look without looking like too much of a showboat. I also really enjoy supporting a local company.

Wow that sucks. I am considering this bumper as well. Please update after you get a resolution. How well does the hidden hitch work?

The body protection is by poison Spyder the sliders are factory rubicon sliders the the dealer installed. I’m working with my buddy at BAMF to possibly utilize one of his already designed Toyota style sliders on the Gladiator

Added 3.5” front and 2.75” back. Stubby, winch and adjustable track bars, LEDs and a few other goodies.

Put 37s from the dealer.

My JTR was not equipped with the tow package, just the Class II hole in the bumper (under the plastic bumper cover). I needed a 2" receiver for accessories (bike rack, kayak bed extension, tow hitch/ball). Initially looked at changing the entire bumper but cost and availability led me to this Curt receiver. Took less than 30 minutes and a beer to install, minus the trip to the store to get a 1/2" hex socket. Good solution for my intended usage profile which will not include towing anything over 2,000 lbs. Receiver is rated 5,000 lbs (500 tongue) which is more than the JTR rating.

Awesome
I love the AEVs .. those are slick


New Shoes, Old Socks... Or is it the other way around...

From 315/70r17's to some used 37x12.50r17's.. Wheels went from gear offroad barricade's 0 offset to AEV Borah +25 offset in Galaxy with true beadlock.

And I have no photoshop skills so I apoligize for the crappy screen capture's with 2 images next to each other.

I installed the rock basher a month ago along with a afe cold air and the sound is great. My only problem is that I wasn't able to install the rock basher with the Afe facing down and after a long trip it now sags and rattles. Any suggestions?

Is that sturdy enough to hold a RTT?
holds 200# dynamic 500# static so i'd say no they have a max modular on for 300# 600#
