I like how you actually take the time to fix everything that needs fixed. Makes me happy to see other people that although wheel their Jeep, they don't beat it senseless. It just shows that your Jeep is Used but not ABused.
Looks great.
Also glad to hear your getting new meats for those ATX rings. looking at the previous pics, your Toyo's are chunked really bad and beat up, granted they've taken you everywhere.

regarding our tires, i think in total, we got about 46,000 miles on them now and, while they are low on tread and really torn up, they still served us well all summer long and, if i had to, i would push them another 20,000 miles

oh man, i would love to but already picked up a set of toyo's again. we hope to run nitto trail grapplers on our other jk though and, now that i know the mud grapplers are available in a 40x15.50/20, there may be plans for set for moby in the future

What does an average season cost you in repairs? I would think that, even though you wheel Moby as hard as you do, the mods and experience behind the wheel would really minimize the trail damage. The avoidable stuff at least. All metal breaks eventually.

man, i don't know. we've been making upgrades along the way so, every year it's a bit different. body damage is the only wild card and this has only been the 2nd time we've beaten moby good enough to warrant repairs.

Well, we finally got Moby back from the body shop along with our new ATX Slab rings painted to match. A big thanks needs to go to Alan over at Morrey's Collision for doing such great work and for getting this done in time
Here's a shot of the body work - good as new...
Here's our new color matched bead lock rings...
And finally, dropping Moby off over at Off Road Evolution to get the axle work done....
