I will get better pics in the daylight but I mounted my JCR bar. I know it isnt structural but like it for now. May be later I will try and tie it in or I can sell it and change up a little. We will see

Nice, I want one to act as a Kayak tie down spot (keep rope off body)

I dont see a need with this metal bumper cause it actually sits right on the bumper. I think you had the stock bumper which looks to have a larger recess area for the tire. The gate opens and closes smooth but it is very early in its life of holding the tire. I am not sure about what the weight difference is between the 2 sizes. Most only do the reinforcement with 37 so far

Fred, I agree with Billy that it's probably not necessary but I did it anyway. The 315 & stock wheel weigh 85lbs & I just wanted to be safe, but looking at it now, I'm not so sure it's gonna help anything but to lighten your wallet! lol I'll post a pic later...

Here’s the picture

When I put Beezer in reverse, the camera comes on and I get an annoying chime & a light on the EVIC that says I’ve got something to the back right of the Jeep. Is this normal?

Do you have a pic of how it sits in the bumper recess? I will get a pic tonight of mine but mine touches the metal bumper when gate is closed

Do you have the avoidance package?

Do you have the avoidance package?

If not then not normal. If you do then something is blocking a sensor or you have a bad sensor. Maybe the larger spare or the gate support is interfering with it

Here’s the picture

I see you have the sensors for the avoidance package, I would check to be sure they are all clear (not covered in dirt or mud) I would also check the wiring at the sensors. Maybe something got bumped when doing the exhaust or the larger tires and gate support

Thanks for the pic of the tire clearance. I dont have the avoidance package but no it doesn't seem normal. Did you have this issue before mounting the spare? Did you have it before installing the exhaust?

Nice camera! Since you're shooting with a DSLR you'll have some nice options to "grow" into. The photos you posted were beautiful. Did you shoot them in RAW or jpeg?

HaaaHaaa! No, those were with my iPad!!! I have not downloaded the camera ones yet!
Sorry TJ, I guess I’m an artist after all!
But honestly, I don’t know how I shot the camera ones. I thought you shoot both unless you specifically pick.
I will not tell you that I sometimes use auto or scene! Alas, another under qualified photographer! We are all over the place!

A good morning it is, especially for @CatskillsAlex! Look forward to seeing her new Jeep!
​

Oh wow, we should start a wrangler owner photo forum! (There probably is one already)

 

[IMBlu]

Yes, gathering. I’m thinking about the Easter jeep Safari in Moab.
And since everyone now knows I know nothing about wranglers nor cameras, here comes a stupid question:
I’m looking at quadratec catalog. Is there a more portable CB radio/antenna that does not require drills and skills like in Jenn and John’s video? Something with suction cups or something? (The last sentence was a joke, I’m not THAT dumb, unless someone says there is such a thing! Lol)

You could just get a hand held CB. I'm sure they would be fine for close range jeep trail stuff.
