For you folks who have been watching more closely, when was the original build date for 2 drs?
I think it actually started March 19. But, it was SUPER slow... This is when they actually started building. Not, the proposed date.

I like how that winch tucks down inside the stock bumper or is that the steel bumper?

I hope it does arrive tomorrow for you. No doubt you are counting down the hours....

how come? what were the problems installing the winch? was thinking of getting the smittybuilt also.
actually it went in rather smoothly, some things of note: attach the ground wires to winch first or you will end up taking it out again like i did lol, also a center control box mount would have been easier, i just wanted to be different.

xrc 9500, with JCR mounting plate. One other thing. Have a buddy around, the mounting plate just rests in the bumper till its bolted to the frame so two guys to get it to the frame helps and leave all your nuts loose for minor afjustments, tightening only when you are satisfied

Ordered those rims myself. Wonder what size tire (width) you could fit on there.... The more I see it the more I like them. I originally planned on keeping the factory setup for my winter wheels and getting a 33.12.5 17 tire and wheel setup for summer.
i out on raised white lettering version of the c-rated 285/70/17 that comes on rubi - drives perfectly but looks way mo’ bettah
