Labor Day Weekend Mods:
1) Rubicon Rock Rails - Mopar
2) Poison Spyder Evap Skid Plate (this thing is totally worth the money!)
3) Decal on the rear window
4) Drilled MAG light clips on each front seat - at the base
5) Rugged Ridge handled covers - red
6) Rugged Ridge Grab Handles - Red
7) Rugged Ridge MAG light holder - roll bar
Decided against the RANCHO oil pan cover. Once I felt how heavy it was, I didn't trust that JB Weld would hold it. I'm sure that it might and lots of other people have success with it, but I don't trust it....neither did anyone else that saw it :-(

I don't really have a write up but I guess I could work on one. I got the switch from 12voltguy... you can find his stuff on the web. For the solenoid we took it out of the "box" and made a mount that hangs off the top of the fuse box between the fuse box and battery. I will try and post a pic of that tomorrow.

Got some new shoes (Pintlers + 35" KM2s) + a new shoe rack (AEV tire carrier, fulfilling my dream of being able to see nothing but tire when I look in my rear-view mirror. Oye).
Am now eating ramen for lunch/dinner for the remainder of 2010.
It was very weird doing a trail where I used to bump my ass all the time with 32s to sailing right over everything with 35s!!!

It's not you, it is scooted more towards the passenger side. It is really difficult to see out the back passenger side when you're changing lanes to the right (to make sure the lane is clear). As much as I hate hate hate having to pop the mirror out of door to be used with the relocation brackets, I'll definitely be putting the passenger mirror back on.
I'm still loving the tire carrier though. No squeaks/rattles, and I'm not paranoid that the next speed bump is going to collapse my tailgate because of the weight of the 35 on the stock carrier.
