Teraflex Alpha carrier installed, and it worked perfectly with the Mopar hinge reinforcement ? pulled the wheel/tire much closer to the body, I’m far happier with the weight not being on the end of a 4” lever now.

pardon the dirty Jeep

Josh, that worked out prettywell didn`t it? I`m glad that you posted a picture with the gate open, allows me to see much more of the rack assembly. I think that`s next on my list, did it come pre finished in red? it seems like it is just the right size but I can`t remember who made it also what extras did you install with it?
Keep up the good work, She looks awesome!!

Thanks Rich!

American adventure labs makes it, it’s called the STP “Spare Tire Platform”. The colors are picked from a drop down menu at checkout. You can also get custom powder coat done by them as well.

I’ve added the Milwaukee packout mounts and a power tank propane mount on the driver side. Were big fans of the packout stuff. It’s quick and easy to change up, and the boxes are water/dust proof which is nice.

You sure that you don`t want to update yours and send the old one my way? lol
Better yet, I`ll trade you for something
Looking at my original reply I will never text again at a red light, shame on me and boy did it look bad

Every time I find myself looking at rims I always end up with this traction offroad beadlock in black. I'm sure it'll look damn good on the white JLURD.

Must continue to resist... pulling... the... credit... card... out...

I would but I use the heck out of that thing. It’s become a vital part of our system. Chainsaw, trash, muddy shoes, propane, extra storage, it’s all on the back there. They are a little proud of their stuff but if it helps it’s all designed and manufactured in the USA ??

I am going with the KMC Crawl with black bead lock rings. This was a pic off FB. They come with natural aluminum rings but I purchased the black rings that go on the Machete wheels that have recessed socket head cap screws. Then, I bought black coated stainless cap screws.

Short version - Mine will look similar to these.

I do like this look also:

I have had two sets of Machete wheels in the past without Issue. I was the only one to torque them and never had to do it again after initial install.

I'm going to attempt this as well with the ring swap, any photos?
