Still stuck in JB status, so I'm just planning ahead. My first mod will be ditching the Red dash (having it painted Sting Gray), then installing Katzkin Red/Black leather. Might order a decal for the grab bar. Has anyone tried this yet? It's on ebay for $15.

Sweet looking rig, love the mods. I have the same wheels coming. What did you do with the center cap for the backup camera? You just cut the center out of the cap? How did you cut it? Is there much obstruction from the tire when using the backup camera?

Steve
The smaller centercap should just pop out.

Flipped my rear bump stops, added the tailgate reinforcement and moved my CB antenna from the make shift location to the proper mount. Bump stop flip is for the 37's.
What antenna mount did you use on the tailgate bracket???

Thanks and yes i cut it but i did it in the shop that i got everything installed. I can see whats necessary with the opening but sacrificing the wider view. If you need to see everything around you then i dont recommend. I sacrificed that for the esthetics. Thanks again

I love the look of the Armory wheels but that -18 offset is just to much for my taste. I wish Black Rhino had more variations.
You are right, i would go with -12 if they had one but in the other hand it gives the rig such an aggresive stance, is really eye catching. If you stand in front of it looks like a monster truck in a sense.

Mounted my 37" Nitto Trails on stock suspension and 1.75" Spidertrax spacers while I get the Fox shocks for my RK 2.5" lift. No rubbing for a daily, but I'm sure it will if you try to flex it. Also, the 37" spare fit on the tire carrier by airing it down a bit and moving the 3rd brake light up one screw hole!

Do you have the direct link on eBay for the grab bar decal? I searched for it, but couldn't find it.

The Mopar tailgate reinforcement bracket comes with a place to mount an antenna. Just needed a half inch longer bolt.
Yep. I have the Reinforcement bracket also and saw that the normal antenna stud mount wasn’t long enough. Where did u get the longer bolt or stud from. ? Thanks
