37x12.50R17 Toyo RTs and Icon Compression wheels in satin black.

I sort of fell into these wheels. Was looking at the Method 305NVs but this center bore ~20mm larger and the Fuel Vectors were out of stock for the next 3 weeks. Stumbled upon the Icon wheels which to my surprise were hubcentric wheels, with a mild poke so perfect for what I was looking for...and they were cheaper than the other 2 options.

You are making me rethink my decision on going with the Black hard top. That color matched looks Fantastic

Russell, I hope you don't mind but I configured the shocks, as per the below picture, to now "go to 11."

Bumper on with the Baja Design Fogs. Now just need to figure out which winch I want.

Sick build!

How is everything holding up so far? I’m looking at the icon compressions, ace bumper, and the Spartacus tire carrier.
