Another day of Jeep Building. Changed out the Front Bumper. New Poison Spyder Bruizer JL. Just got the front changed out today. Rear Bumper in a few days. Went with the Baja Designs Squadron Sport Ambers for the front Fog Lights. Hooked the lights up to the factory push button fog light switch. Just cut and spliced into the current factory plug on the front passenger side. Winch to follow this next week! Loving the way its turning out!! @Baja Designs. @poisonspyder

Finally back on the Jeep Build. Decided to go with the Warn VR Evo 10S. Installation was pretty simple. I did have an issue with the motor housing hitting the mounts for the Winch Plate from Poison Spyder on my JL Bruiser Bumper. Called up PS and asked them about this. Well guess what, Yup.. there's spacers that you need in order to raise the winch up to clear those brackets. I wasn't going to order these and put my build off another 4-5 days. So called up the local Metal mart and was able to get some bar stock cut and made my own spacers. I forgot to take a photo of them. But basically it was 1 1/4" square stock with two holes that I drilled 4.5" apart to raise the winch up and get it mounted. I had to get longer bolts of course. BUT, it worked out great. Painted the spacers black and got it installed. I ran the winch cables behind the grill and fished them up to the top and back to the battery. There was just enough wire that warn provided that it reached the battery perfect.

Decided to go with the Warn Epic Fairlead with the Factor 55 Ultrahook and Rope Guard! Rounded things off with the Rhino USA Red Shackles..

Quick and Easy Mod and oh what a difference. The Terra Acoustic dash speaker upgrade! These things are amazing, Took me about 10 mins to swap them both out. They have a separate Tweeter that really makes a huge difference and rounds out the full sound spectrum. Very Very impressed!

Another Easy Mod! The Bulletpoint Dash Mount. This was a really fast upgrade. Maybe 20 mins. Pull the rubber mat out of the center of the dash. The Bulletpoint rail drops in and with 2 screws, its mounted and ready! Pretty impressed so far. Holds my phone tight! I have the mount for the go pro as well. I will prob get another arm for the right side to hold an Ipad mini to have GiA or ONX up and running while out on the trails.

Awesome build.

You got a nice build going on, should handle most trails that Colorado has to offer with ease. How do you like those Nittos? Been eyeing a set of myself but hear they're a pretty heavy tire. How'd you balance them, balancing beads?
