Well today I am having 315/70R17 tires installed on my 2018 Wrangler JLU Rubicon. The tires are BFG AT T/A KO2’s. So I will be selling 5 BFG AT T/A KO2 285/70R17 tires with 3900 miles on them.

I had to purchase a mounting bracket to mount it to my steel bumper. Got it on amazon for about $20.

Do you have a link to the bracket on Amazon? I searched but there are a lot of different ones.

Yesterday, I upgraded my stock tire to 315/70/17 KO2 load C yesterday at Discount Tires. I actually had a quite pleasant trip to DT. Haven't been to DT for nearly 15 years, and last time I remembered slow work, yelling customers about someone marring his wheels, lazy employees...and yesterday I was so ready to fight with DT to mount 315 on my stock Rubicon wheels.


But nada, none of that drama happens. DT guy called me when tires are in, greeted me, upon checked my tires, they even offered $50 trade-in credit for each tire, that combining with the $50 rebate made a sweet deal. I know I can make more selling on shady CL, but going to be a lot of hassles. Tire guys changed my tires in less than 45 minutes right in front of me (of course with glasses). They took good care of the wheels, and even torqued the lug nuts twice, contrary to the horror story I heard people just free hunt with air guns.


So I know 315 especially load C is totally fine with the stock tailgate, but I still installed tailgate reinforcement kit. I got a really good deal of that from my local dealer (cheaper than the going used price here on the forum). I did also put on the brake light relocation kit to reclaim some rearview mirror estate. I became creative routing the brake light cables.


Just a reminder for people who has brake light relocation kit, you better start to carry long T45 and T25 Torx bits. Otherwise, I don't know how you can take off your spare in an emergency situation. The torx bits in the Jeep toolkit are T40 and T50...


After all these said and done, I reprogramed my tire size with Flashcal. Highly recommend Flashcal if you only do tire size, gear ration, and not interested in the light show. The user interface is so much easier. I fiddled with 33.75, 34, and 34.25, and found out 34 for 315 KO2 on stock wheels is dead on in all speed range. I am delighted to see I still have 8th gear time to time and my MPG is actually not all bad (from upper 19 to 18.5 on highway).

Installed a hitch and Tekonsha trailer wiring kit on my 2018 JLU Sahara today started at 0800 hrs. and completed at 1330 hrs. Ran the wiring from the battery to the back of the vehicle on the inside. When completed it worked fine, I saved a few hundred bucks doing it myself. I watched a video one of the members from here posted on his install and it was very helpful. I must say I wouldn't want to do another install right away.

Took off the visor warning labels.

How in the hell did you get this off in one piece? I’ve tried to loosen the adhesive with heat but it comes off in tiny microscopic pieces!

Installed phone mount and dash cam

Which dash cam? How did the wiring go?

I went with the blackvue 900 2ch. Heard a lot of people did the wiring without taking off any panels.. well I took off all my panels lol. It was pretty easy though, I wired the back camera through all the panels on the rollbar too. Tried to make it as clean as possible, happy how it turned out. I used to do cabling so I try to take some pride when I actually try.. fishing wires is not as fun as fishing for fish

Can you show pics of the rear camera?

 

[Silverblkrilla]

Installed @Artec Industries spare tire delete. Gonna pick up license plate, wire license plate lights and add some red behind the Artec ligo.

[/QUOTE

Do you have any pictures of the top where the 3rd brake light sits on that delete? I’d like to somehow install a CB Antenna there by welding a small plate over the gap (or sometype of rigging) and use an alternative 3rd brake light set up.

Yeah here are a couple pics, I have the rear cam cable coming out of the roll bar where the cigarette lighter is, but that's the only place any wires show for now. I have a tailgate brawlee light I need to wire up as well, so was waiting to do both at the same time.
