Did some wheeling in the snow with a buddy of mine. I wasn't expecting the KM3s to perform as well in the snow as they did. They gave me no trouble whatsoever.

EDIT: Just realized I posted this in the TO thread instead of the WITH thread. If it really matters and an admin wants to move it, please do.

I’d love to see some more pics of those wheels, Spanks.

How do you like it so far? It should make a difference with leg cramps
it's ok. I am 5'8 and it seems that it may work better for taller people. I will add couple of washers behind the main bolt so as to push the whole thing a bit more forward. As is, it barely helps. I am not sure if I recommend it.

Added blue vinyl decal inlays on the grab handle. I wanted to see how it would look with OB and tan. I need to replace a few letters tomorrow

So the plan was to install my Quake LED Halos, install my Tekonsha trailer light kit and put my Mopar Wrangler door sills on. Buuuuuttt, I ended up doing yard work I’d been putting off for weeks. By the time I got done with that, I figured I’d start with the trailer wiring kit (since how hard can that be?). The installation of the wiring harness itself is fairly straight forward. You pull the tail lights, install the controller on the driver’s side, then you snake the passenger side harness and hitch connector out thru the bottom. Tie off the hitch connector by the hitch, then pull the passenger side harness up thru the tail light well. So far, so good. But then you have to run a wire from the controller up to the battery for power. And that was just a pain in the butt. Keeping the wire away from pinch points, exhaust pipes and whatnot is a lot of crawling around, even with the Jeep’s ground clearance. I ended up snaking as much as I could thru the frame to keep it protected. All in all it took about three hours. The door sills took 15 minutes. The Quake headlights are going to have to wait till tomorrow.

Installed the Fox Steering Stabilizer. Does anyone happen to know the torque specs for the steering stabilizer?

Hmm, I already ordered one. Let's see, I'm 6'1 so hope to make good use of it

Just got my Sahara yesterday but have been stockpiling parts and accessories for a while. Today: new wheels and tires (BFG KM3 295/70/17, Dirty Life Ironman wheels), Rugged ridge door sill protectors (replaced MOPAR since the RR cover the top edge), Grab handles, blackout decals by the front wheel vent, couple other decals. Lots more to do tomorrow.

Nice install Burt. A couple of question if I may.

1) The use of the Maximus 3 hardware for securing the rack necessitated drilling through the hard top, correct?

2) What if any process, assuming you drilled, was involved in making the holes water tight?

3) While I wish you nothing but many years of use out of the rig, for those who might decide to sell someday, sans rack and hardware, might you have ideas on what you'd put into the holes in place of the hardware to waterproof and conceal them, assuming there are even holes to drill? Like maybe black cork in a tube on the outside and white cork on the inside?

Thanks.

I had the Mopar faux beadlocks installed with 315/70R17 K02s plus rock slide engineering's electric step slider and huper optik tint on the front three windows. I still have to get the trim rings powder coated red but that's for another day.
