Put on new rims, Rubicon premium black with brushed aluminum pentastar. So much nicer than the stock aluminum

Oh man that so cool. They run those in my local park. I should go talk to those guys. Steam is cool.

We have a guy up the road from us that has a whole layout on several acres with a tunnel. I think it is call the Unionville RR, I found a web site one time that had some photos and stuff. What I can see by the road is a round house and shed. I'm into steam also but bigger. I spent years helping my ex-wife's grandpa run 1/4 scale Advance Rumly steam engine. We run a rock crusher and a saw mill off it. I'm shopping around right now for a steam launch.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

Nice tattoo idea. Lol

i assume that there is some additional stress going on but with how little spacer is (1 3/4 in) I don’t see it being something to worry about. This spacer is Solid and the way the Jeep is sitting doesn't seem like the camber Of the tires have change noticeably

I had spacers on my JK before and never knew that you arent supposed to over torque the spacer lugs down, they widen the thread of the bolts and cause studs to break...I broke a LOT of JK studs.

If you haven't you may just want to do a little internetting to see of there is a suggested or required torque for the spacer lugs them selves.

I wish more MFrs made wheels with that antique bronze look

 

[primethios]

It's a stupid and cheap install but I put on door latch covers. Mainly because I thought it might keep some crap out while the doors are out but also just makes it look a bit more finished. They just snap on so no tape or anything.

I bought a 2x6 and cut out some hand holds to easily move it if I need to. Now my trunk items won’t shift to the front of the bed when braking!

I plan to paint it black, but it would be hard to see what I did... hence before pic.
