I found a friend while picking up some Rubicon suspension for the wife's Jeep.

Memorial Day weekend 2022 lift, tire, and wheel install.

Transitional moment with wife's old wheels while swapping TPMS - don't judge me

Wife's with Rubi suspension and my stock wheels/tires

I ended up getting 3 inches of suspension lift from the Dynatrac lift.

Front Axle was off about a half inch, so insert Metalcloak front track bar.

Threedom topographic hinge covers

Only issue is the small part of the hood hinge did not seem to fit so I left it off.

Added proximity handle to the drivers door.

This was fairly easy to accomplish. I followed some instructions I found on this forum to change some setting with JScan to make this function.

I thought it looked a bit like it skipped leg day, so I decided to go with some 315/70R17s

I also added a topographic vent decal from Pixeldecals.

Next was Oracle flush mount taillights.

I had one of the first sets and the drivers side light started flickering. I was sent a new one and have no issues since. I had LED rears originally so I had to use Jscan to not get an error on my dash until the fix was available.

Damn, So much better than the originals. You get a LOT of light in reverse!

Still seeing spots.

So glad I did this finally did this too. Great upgrade!

Experimenting with tire beads.

I used this from Harbor Freight to pop the bead. Drove the wife's Jeep on some 2x4s to keep it down while I used it.

All the beads in a small shop vac after the recommended amount did not work.

M.O.R.E. skid plate time.

This thing is heavy, and first trip to Moab put some decent scrapes on it. But it held up quite well.

Taking a break for now. Next up is the trip to Moab.
