Who were you with??!
After Infantry and Airborne school at Ft. Benning I went to The Old Guard in WA DC. I've been looking for the 82nd as a gift to my brother's (1/504) for his truck and a 25th ID for my son in law. Thanks for the link!

Looks awesome, Where did you get the winch from and what model is it ? and what winch plate did you use ?
Thanks. I have the Warn ZEON 10-S Platinum and got it from 4Wheel Parts. They had it on sale and no tax. I used the JCR Off-road winch plate.

Took the family out for some ice cream tonight - then had people smile and point... even had a guy yell out to his family, “hey!!! That’s the new Jeep!!!” :like:

(I love how the word “Jeep” is now worldly synonymous with “Wrangler”. Kindda like how we say “Hand me a Kleenex please” instead of “facial tissue”.). :cwl:

@JcrOffroad
Here is my long story, but if your interested in JCR bumpers and carriers then take a few moments and check this out.
I have the Crusader front bumper with the skid plate and the crusader rear bumper with the adventure rear tire carrier.
The good,
Well built
Tight tolerances
Powder coat is fine
Good looking front and rear match
Jack holes
Cube light mounts
Holes for your parking sensors, bad for me I don't have parking sensors.
If your careful the camera cable is long enough to run from the roll bar location inside the jeep down past taillight out the bottom into the tire carrier.
Adventure spare carrier is well built opens and closes nice has a CB mount (thx for that) optional dual rotopax mount and hi-lift mount
JCR spent some time engineering these items for the jeep line up.

Now the bad
No option for no Holes for parking sensors. I lost two plugs the first day. Yeah they don't stay.
Each part I received the boxes were all Badly damaged. They need to improve the way they package. front bumper had some pc damage.
Lead times are long, Over 20 working days plus shipping.
Front bumper came with the wrong hardware pack, they did put the correct pack in the mail (more waiting) they first requested photos of what I received.
No paper instructions with anything I received, but they included a card saying they want to be paperless. Then why send a card?
I ordered the crusader rear bumper right when they released it with no photos, I called the next day and requested to place my order on hold till I could see what the JL version looked like and to see photos of the vanguard. They were happy to send me photos.
I selected the vanguard, when it arrived I received the crusader. I was so bummed. They offered to send me the correct bumper, Repack it? Haul it to fedex? Wait weeks for a replacement?
JCR was happy to let me un box it and decide if I wanted it. They offered to credit me the difference and give me a 100.00 credit. (Very nice) if I wanted to keep it, which I did.
The tire carrier came with generic lug nuts and studs, these are not the same size as from the factory. So I have to carry two different lug wrenches? The studs are short and the lug nuts are small acorn type that don't fit the factory wheels. This is a problem for me, they should match the factory pitch and length.
They sent the wrong license plate relocation bracket, wants more photos (more waiting) I think the relocation kit is not up to JCR standards.
They are a site sponsor and advertise that they offer a discount for forum members, when I called and asked for it they said there was no discount, had no idea about any discount AGAIN I had to send a photo of the thread showing this. When they agreed to give me a discount it was very small.

I took the license plate relocation kit changed it around used my factory camera mount and made it work, just need to make a third brake light mount.
I am very impressed with the items I purchased from JCR for my new JL, I do feel they have missed the mark on a few things.
Corey at the order desk has been easy to talk to and very helpful, if you decide on a JCR product please ask for him.
I have asked JCR for a few replacement parts to help me correct my build, I want to be proud of all the hard work I've put into my jeep.

Anyone know of a plain rear gate delete to cover the vents and holes? This should be included in the adventure tire carrier kit.

My go to place for ice cream with the family has been Parlor City on 42nd (since I noticed you had the McGrath plate in another picture). I too had someone ask me if mine was the new Jeep.

Went fully naked yesterday and my whole family loved it, especially my teenagers!
Had people in parking lots commenting on how cool it looks. Really love my Jeep!

Since shoes go on the outside and what you replaced were the wheels which go inside the tires, technically Hoss got new socks :giggle:

I picked up my Jeep Friday afternoon late. My neighbor was watching for me to return so pulled in to his. place and let he and his wife check it out. Next morning we pulled it into the shop and pulled the tires and wheels off and painted the calipers Red to accent the Firecracker Red Rubicon with matching fenders and top.

I installed a stubby antenna that I had waiting and started familiarizing myself with everything. Winch goes on Wednesday.

I wish I had done something ultra cool like hold down a Hot Air Balloon.
