6.5 hours, 3 friends, 3 pizzas... a few beers... done. Not too bad, really.
A few war wounds, but nothing major.
Installed 2" OME, front/rear JKS trackbars, JKS discos, Spidertrax spacers, TeraFlex SS, Rugged Ridge hitch and most importantly, JK Forum decals!
Don't have much for pics... just a dark, crappy garage shot. I'll post more when I get the Toyos mounted on Monday.
Man... I've already found myself saying "what next?" My wife should be scared, very scared

I cant wait to see your new tires on your jeep. I love that size and am interested in that size for my jeep after burning these stock rubi tires down.
Unfortunately it looks like my stockers may take years to wear out.
Again, I am looking forward to seeing this complete with some angles and action shots.

Got more pics of the final product.
Drove to work today with the stock tires- the ride felt far and away better than stock... then I had the Toyo's mounted! Good-bye comfort, hello utility!
Overall I'm really happy with the appearance... now I need to test it in the dirt.
Well, come to think of it, I haven't even hit the highway yet.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of the tire size. Not 35's, but taller than most 33's. I was seeking a narrower tire as well- less work and better handling for a daily driver...?
If I could do it over again, I may have gone with the HD front coils. Still see a little rake, but I guess it could be an easy fix with some OME spacers.
The tire shop won't put the spare on the tailgate- they eyeballed it and said no way. I'm looking to give it a try myself; I'll make it fit.
Other than that, check engine light's on. The codes said it's battery related, which makes sense because I let the sucker die on accident during install. I'm hopeful it'll turn off on it's own?
Let me know what you guys think.
