If you want to know when you've gone to far modifying your jeep reference this picture.

This idiot is asking 60000.00 for this abomination.

Oh my... to each his own I guess, but I feel sorry for that Jeep

Glad you can get them. BUT everyone should look at your build sheet.
Jeep was to provide a locking lug nut on the spare. Hundreds of locking
lug nuts that Jeep has that they didn't provide is money in their pockets !!!
Call you dealer get one put on or mailed to you. (this may be Rubicons only)

The back-up camera will actually block the rear tire from coming off easily. Not saying someone cannot just break it and rip it off. But, the spare is blocked from coming off by the camera

this epitomizes what i think a jeep is for many. its their Iron Man suit. they get to put on after they leave their cubicle, plant or whatever mundane and boring job you do. so i think the jeep can get dressed up as such. that says a lot for the jeep. that it embodies that feeling of a super hero, well hopefully more hero, than villian lol this one looks villainous.

What does everyone think of these tubular doors? Any better styles you have found?

The camera does not stop it from coming off. Just a cheep plastic cover which
would do nothing if a slight pull was applied. Go look close at the spare because
3 lug nuts taken off and it's gone.

Maybe so. Upon looking closer it’s a Vader Jeep so at least it stayed true to the theme.

Got dusty and spilled a bit on the way, but this Jeep is amazeballs!

Off road impressions:

Clearance: This Jeep is a tank. I skimmed over rocks I thought were sure to give me trail scraps without so much as ding. Still mall crawler material here. Nothing to see. Move along. (I love the clearance on this Jeep. Right there with the LJ with a 4.5" lift and 35's to be honest.)

Torque: There is a lot of it and first gear is incredible. Lots of the time I was tooling around in 3rd and 4th, and if a spot needed more grunt 2nd was enough for most things. First gear in 4 low is just a crawl monster.

Toys: I didn't get to use the lockers yet, but the swaybar is great. Love getting that articulation at the click of a button. The gauges are all great though you have to scroll through them. I really like the pitch and roll along with TPMS readings of each tire's pressure. Very cool.

Tires: These have more grip than I had thought they would have in this loose stuff. They did slip in the mud a bit but not bad. (Water running down the road of Antero, so more slip on the slope really.) Aired down to 23 psi and the ride got noticeably more grippy and comfortable. (Had to keep a bit more air in as I forgot the tank. D'oh!) Highway driving is still "Jeep like," with lots of sidewall flex but comfortable and quiet. Do love these tires.

Turning Radius: O M G ! - Thing of wonder, this new Jeep spins round on a dime.

The wet pup and my wife's sticky drink took care of the new car smell in a hurry. :cwl:

Great getting out again.
