Installed a @ROAM single action rear bumper/tire carrier on my Wife's @TankGirl JL. I'm jealous that I have to mess around with the extra latch, hers is so easy to use.

Couple questions...can the tire carrier easily swing out independently of the tailgate? Also, where/how did you order it? I can't find a order procedure on Roam's web site.

I installed my second winch today on my Silver Jeep Rubicon. I installed my winch for my other White Rubicon a few months ago prior to joining the Forum. Here’s some pics:
Today’s install,

Looks great! Paint your muffler black; it makes a world of difference. Your wheels look great with your Jeep.
That can is definitely an eye sore and will be replaced soon! Waiting on Rancho to release their exhaust. Definitely will have to paint if it’s not soon.

I put on a pair of Mopar tubular steps (#82215327) on my Rubicon today. Wife and kids love it. I like those more than the production steps (Sahara style) and the Rubicon rock rails. The tubular steps look nice because of the texture and embedded jeep icons. Installation took about 45 minutes, and it is a one-man job, everything aligned perfectly but I did take extra care to make sure the bolts were torqued appropriately. I am sure one can do it in 15 minutes if in a hurry, but why:clap:

I think I got a super deal too from eBay, only $330 after shipping. It is funny because the seller is actually located in my city, and shipped ground but delivered overnight.

Now I have a pair of literally new spare Rubicon rock rails, I will put them in plastic wraps. Hit me if you are interested in it.

Installed Hothead Headliners

IMO these are so much better than the factory headliner, looks nice too. Besides a lot of factory orders are actually held hostage because of the shortages of headliner parts.

Did you take the whole top off to install them? Did you get the sound assassin?

Gorilla wheel locks in black... stumbled upon them in here randomly. You get enough to cover up the blanks with the brake light relocation. I couldn't fit the little cover over the camera, but it doesn't seem to serve any functional purpose aside from aesthetics. Anyways, nice recommendation and thanks for the tips on filling in the blanks, @Rhinebeck01 ….

Removed a drywall screw that I noticed in the tire right at the edge of the tread. And, as luck would have it, the hole was not just in the tread, but went inside the tire, so as soon as I removed it, the air started leaking. Searched around to try to find my tire plug kit, but couldn't find it, so just gave up and drove up to Wal-mart to buy another one and fixed the tire. What is it about new tires that makes them attract screws and nails so much? Seems that if you have tires that have basically no tread left of them, they never pick up a screw or nail. :(
