I have the competition. I love it, exactly what I'm after. I think the trail stinger gets the "look" but doesn't have the function of a "true stinger". The brawler is cosmetic as well.

Yes my pic is on the site

I saw your JK there as I was leaving 4wp right there. Thought it looked familiar! If you want to check out anything on my bumper, ya better hurry! It's "gone" come Thursday

Default Car Seat Mod

Latest mod to the JK had nothing to do with offroading.







Someone wasn't happy until the jeep was moving. Then out like a light.

Default Goodyear MTR's w/Kevlar 35"

These tires can be found elsewhere on the jk-forum as they used to belong to Eddie (wayoflife) the JK-forum administrator. He recently upgraded his so I got a pretty good deal on his used ones.

Comparing the 35s to what used to be my 34" Goodyear MTR (old design).


Eddie's jeep (Lil' Nemo) on the left with my Rubi on the right. They both have the Old Man Emu 2" lift with long-travel shocks. Eddie's is running 37s!


Me standing next to insanely modified Moby Dick. Those 40 inch tires on 20 inch rims look even larger in person!


Back at home mounting the new shoes. Here's a comparison shot to my old MTR's.




Finished product






Trying to get her to flex on my driveway to see any potential rubbing. One known area is the rear end of the factory rock rails.




So far with this much flex it clears it by a quarter of an inch.








As the wheel moves up the axle pivots back helping it to clear the rock rail.
