Nice build, following!

While I’m waiting on my bumper to ship I found a couple of “bargains” to throw on. Got the DV8 40” light from Quadratec for $70 and the mounts from DV8 for $10. Hard to pass on those prices. Went with the VOSwitch JL800 to make sure I have plenty of room to expand as I add more lighting and accessories. Install was super easy although the directions were a little “lacking”.

Pleasant surprise call yesterday to inform me of my bumper arriving a few days early. One of the few times FedEx has impressed me. On to coat and mount. Also added some Quadratec Pods that I found on sale for under $20. The VOSwitch system makes installs incredibly easy and quick.

I don't know if you had WH40k inspiration or biblical, but if it's 40k, LUPERCAL!

Just wanted an evil sounding and “scary” name. Figured you couldn’t get much more evil and scary than a demons name which translates to “The Destroyer”. Only thing destroyed so far is my bank account!

Bumper is coated and curing. Awfully hard to no go ahead and throw it on, but leaving out for a cruise at the end of the week. By the time I return the Herculiner should be ….. Next is deciding on the winch……

Looks great! Just curious, how much does that bumper weight?

I believe the shipping info said 102lbs. it’s definitely a brute, but should hold up To some abuse.

Picked up another piece to the build while at the Invasion this past weekend Courtesy of the wife! Black Rhino Abrams. Now to decide on a tire choice. (Any suggestions or experiences welcomed) Probably going to go with a 35x12.50 for a bit until I can regear and go to a 37. Also got my sunshades in and put on last week.

I've got a JLR 2.0T with 37" KM3's on stock wheels with a 2.5" RK, stock gears. No need to regear unless it's primarily a DD. Mine's a dedicated wheeler so I Tazered it and haven't even noticed the change on the road. I do notice a huge improvement crawling. I'd go bigger tires but I'm a believer that wheeling hard on stock axles, 37 is the limit.

Bumper on, and winch on the way! Ended up ordering an Open Road Panther 2 winch in the custom red color (Early Black Friday Sale). Should be here mid-week. Love the difference the bumper alone made. Should definitely be ready for the adventures I have planned. Plenty of trails around the state to hit before trying to get to Colorado next spring/summer.

Open Road 13k winch installed last week. Probably a lot more than I‘ll need, but better more than not enough.

What offset are your Abrams, just put a 3.5 Evo lift with King shocks on my ‘21 black Rubicon. Looking at wheels and tires now, and yours looks great on 35s was on the fence with 37s but after seeing yours definitely 35s (to start)

The offset on mine is -18. Puts the outer blocks of tread just past the factory flares. I love my 35’s but do wish they were 37’s. Only reason I didn’t go larger was my drive to work. 37’s would have killed my MPG w/o re-gearing. Hope to re-gear later this year so I can go larger with my next set. I would definitely lean more toward 37’s w/ a 3.5” lift.

I think I’m gonna start with 35s… on the fence. I’ll see how it goes and maybe bump to 37s after I run through the 35s. If you do go up to 37s be sure to post the updates. Thanks for the info!!
