Well I had to clean the inside of the Jeep. I asked my wife how in the hell did you soak the inside of the Jeep and fill it will sand. She said, Hell I don't know. I was flying the drone at Silver Lake Sand Dunes for about 15 minutes. After reviewing some video clips, I found out. My Jeep is to left. at the very end of the 8 second video.

Over last 3 weeks we've installed Smittybilt front and rear bumpers, Smittybilt winch with Factor 55 prolink, window vents, put graphics or lettering on side of hood and of course washed multiple times.

What are your thoughts on those Ironman tires? I like their look but I hesitate because they're suspiciously cheaper than other MTs. Are they still a good tire on and off road?

Painted the inner rings on my XD 137’s. I liked the idea of the red on these rims but in person the anodized shine just didn’t seem to match. And they started to fade from the sun.
Cleaned, self etching primmer, red rustolium, clear coat. Hopefully it will hold up. So far so good for day 1

I love the XD137's. I really like the stock anodized rings though. Were they literally fading? That's too bad :(

btw, what's the offset on those XD's? and what sized tires did you put on? Do you have a front or back shot of the Jeep so I can see how much of the tire sticks out? Thanks.

Hey, how come your tray looks different? Its not 3 sections?
I removed the tray. Cut a piece of 1/8" aluminum, painted it black put my mount piece on and stuck it down with two sided pads. Mounted my camera from there. Just didnt like the big bulky high priced mount and didn't want to use the suction type. Camera and post can come off in 10 seconds.
I have enjoyed fabricating most of my own accessories

I need to install limit straps myself. Did you ever do this to yours?
Not yet, I need to get some down time and take some measurements to get the length right, i want to limit my down travel until right before the springs start bouncing around in their perches. Just been real busy and having a couple of major earthquakes last month put me behind on everything.
