Put the doors back on, stretched the winch line, and found a different place to mount the hilift (at least for day wheeling), until I get some lights or there is a better option than mounting to my roof rack.

Where I wheel there are some trees that can catch easily so keeping branches from tangling me up top is important. This spot isn’t ideal either as it likely will impede my headlight beams slightly, but haven’t found any good mounting options for the rear of the Jeep yet.

So you got the new Method 701’s. Those look really good. Can you get a side shot of them, thinking about going with those wheels also. Performance of a beadlock without the non-DOT issue.

Can we see a close up with lights off please:)
Sorry I meant to snap a pic of the back/mounting, but I didn't remember until after the grill was back in place..

If you look closely you can see the one zip tie on the right. That's because I drilled at too much of an angle and so it came more forward. If I could do it again, they would be completely invisible, but as it is today, my wife couldn't see it, and I'm quite happy with the result.

I looked at the Mopar ones but settled with the Gorilla System. They're all locks. I think the all black lugs look good too, whether they're Mopar or anything else.

I cannot find these lug nuts to save my life.

I know, I've been looking for the black ones in a pack of 24 for my wife's JLUS but they're currently out of stock. They do have the chrome in a pack of 20...

But these won't have any that will lock your spare. The black ones look good to me on the OEM Rubi wheels, I'm happy with mine. Hopefully they'll have the 24 count in black soon, that's what my wife wants.

Got it on! The Warn directions SUCK!!! I'll do a write up in the DIY. This week I am putting a zeon 10s in, two rigid lights (spot and sidshooter combo) on an @Artec dual pod mount and Opt7 rock lights :) Hopefully the Warn skid plate comes in but that is a bit back ordered.

Got hit on the front left fender side as I was making a turn. I was devastated when I heard the impact. Got off the Jeep and didn't see anything. There was only one scratch on the plastic part under the turn signal. The Accura on the other hand had a pretty deep dent. :whew: I honestly thought these fenders were cheaply made but I guess they hold up pretty good.
Glad you're safe! :)

@mantacon I got mine from a Mopar Parts Department: http://www.mcgard.com/automotive/wheel-locks/5-lock-sets-for-exterior-spare-tires/

Here's a pic of them installed on Lil' Hulk:

However, it only came with 5 in a pack, one for each wheel, including the spare.
