What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

Designed and installed cargo enclosure, mounted spare on top.

This looks so good! What made you decide to mount the spare there and give up that cargo space, as opposed to leaving it on the tailgate?

I like them. Fit is great. I'm swapping Quadratec stickers out for Rubicon stickers. Price was perfect.

Nice! Please advise on where/how you got the rubicon stickers... I might need some Sahara ones made

Won't he have issues seeing out the back via the rear view mirror???

With that large of a tire you're blocking your view even if it's mounted on the tailgate. I'm sure the difference is negligible.

Road armor bumper and winch plate
American Adventure Lab high line inner fender eliminator

Now I need to address the inner fender area.

Roar Armor bumper looks great! Can you comment on the install, how hard was it, any tips, mine is currently being shipped? What fog lights did you go with and were you able to use OEM style plugs or did you have to splice into the factory fog light harness?

Storage, got the idea from this forum...

I'm going this route as well. I work in IT and we have server rack drawers like that and rails that hold hundred + pound servers I play to use to a refrigerator slide out as well. Good IDEA. Nice to see others using alternatives that are not jacked up in price because they are labeled "overland"

Sorry, but I don't have more pictures at this time. The trail cover is on, it's dark outside, and rain is getting ready to roll in. If I think of it, I will add some at a later time.

Your project is pretty kickass, I would definitely be interested in seeing some more pictures if you ever get a chance.

I made a wood frame on the bottom and had side pieces to mount the faces to. Easy to put together

Instead of making side pieces, you could have bought the actual rack for a pretty good price

Does this qualify as distracted driving? It looks like it could become a hairy situation. This is also why my wife won't ride on my motorcycle...

Awesome pic!

For sure, it gets old quick lol aside from the picture or unless I need both hands on the wheel. I usually have to hold it down for the most part. Ordered "viking beard beads" to use in the jeep but the wife says they look ridiculous. Told her thats fine and will just have to use her hair ties and grow a man bun to go with it

How long’s her beard?

Oh and my Factor 55 Flatlink came in the mail on Friday, so I put that on too. And... after struggling with the protective sheath on the winch rope trying to get it past the fairlead, I’m trying a mod where I have flattened it out and put on a few zip ties to keep flat and hopefully keep it from sliding down the rope and getting all twisted as is passes through the fair lead.

Is that working out for ya? I got the same Winch as you, and I think the 90 foot rope is just too much for it with the rope sheath on there. I took mine off because it got caught up in there and was a PITA to get it all back out. I am keeping it in my gear bag should I ever need it.

Someone on another thread stated that this stabilizer pushes the passenger front tire out, making them steer to the right. Have you seen this yet? Because of this, I think I am going to go with this one:

Put on new wheels and tires

Do you have a lift?

Do you have a lift?

No, stock can handle 35" tires without needing a lift.

Yes, but I am only using 4U tall so easier to just make a wood frame, if you went to 6U this seems to be a good option...
