Tell me a little more about those tires.
I'm looking for something fat with a non aggressive tread for sand duty.

Years ago, BFG had a "Sport Truck Radial" in 10.50x15 that I had on my Scout II.
Looking for a tire like that again.

Pulled the hardtop off and installed my jtops sun screen. Didn't know how much I missed until I had it, lol.

I love this setup. I want a mild lift but am all new to this thing...1st time Jeep owner. Can you please point me to your lift kit, as to where you got it? I’m looking for an option/alternative to the Mopar kit ($$$). Does your kit contain everything - shocks, springs, etc?

I did a thing today, first time no top and no doors.

First time I’ve seen this - a Rubicon but yet with a stock Sahara side step. It’s one of the main reasons why I got a Sahara. I love our side steps. Nice and wide, and follows the fender flow... also protects against rock fling. So you purposely removed the Rubicon rails and ordered a Sahara side step?

Any tips or tricks to removing (and reinstalling) the Steering wheel & bezel?
Disconnect both grounds on the battery and let sit for 20-30 mins. Small pick screwdriver to pull the caps on the back of the steering wheel.

10mm socket to take the bolts out on each side under the cap you removed. The center of the wheel will come out. You will need to unplug the airbag and set it to the side.

You will need a T10, T15 and a T20 torx screwdriver to get all the screws out for the bezel and controls. There is a black spacer right next to each sides controls. They are in tight but the slide out.

When reinstalling the airbag be careful on how the wires are run and don’t over tighten the bolts holding it in. It sucks it down tight and the horn stays on. Lol.

Hopefully this helps

Yes, I removed the stock rock rails, the other half had issues getting in the Jeep. If going off-roading they can be removed in 15 minutes, instructions state they should be removed for trails. I did leave them on and rode the easier trails at Drummond Island with no issue.

You can find the kit at pretty much all of the normal retailers - Here's a link to the Terraflex site: https://teraflex.com/news_items/all...1-5-sport-st1-suspension-systems-have-arrived

I did the ST1 system that included the 2.1 Falcons. Per the recommendations on that site for 35" tires, I also purchased the bump stop strike pad kit. No springs included in this kit.

Just like you, I was looking for something mild. The stance with the 35's is great.

I completely agree with you! I installed mine last week and they are great! I used relocation brackets with the original mirrors on my JKs and could hardly see anything out of the passenger side. Not an issue with these! I do need pliers to tighten them because I'm not strong enough, but maybe that's not a problem for the dudes.
I use vice grips. :blush: I've got some really bad hands from years of abusing them.
