Thanks! Jeep did great. I had a 2021 and was ready to regear end of last year. I decided to trade and ordered an Extreme Recon instead and settle on the OEM 4.56s in the ER package before I got much further in my build. I had the Mopar 2” lift on the 2021 so swapped that over to provide a little more room for the 37’s. So I left last week for CO with 800 miles on it with 37’s. I’ll have to say it did pretty darn good. It won’t hold 8th at 80mph into any sort of head wind but does better than it did with the 4.10’s before. Highway speeds it’s fine. I have the MC 3.5 GC and steering system to go on here at some pint. Just putting on some miles first to eliminate warranty challenges should I need something done then I’ll change suspension out. Moab is on my list in the next year or two. Here it was in the rain at the mill at the beginning of Wheeler lake.

I didn't realize how new your XR was, nice you got a feel for it before the lift goes on. Did you rub much with the new 37'S on the trail?

We had a stock XR with us when we ran Top of the World at EJS this year. All it really needed was more ground clearance. Do you think you go 4.88's at some point or leave the stock 4.56's? I guess it depends on how you use your Jeep.

My plan is to leave the 4.56’s. I live in smaller community so daily driving for me is 50mph and slower. That gearing and 37’s so far seems to work pretty good.

That sounds like it will work really well for you. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

Alright, Warn Zeon 10S installed. Really happy with the design/strength of the Artec winch plate. The assembly was pretty straight forward.

I'll post a video soon of this install on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HJ5REOo6XbFuakJem6TTw

While I had the bumper off, I removed the factory skid plate and shot that in a 'steel grey' color. The new Gladiator Mojave was the inspiration for this. More to come, stay tuned.

The Company you suggested for the license Plate. No longer makes them. Any thoughts?

Hi George, I was just looking at the Maximus-3 site and I see the 'Stealth Front License Plate Bracket'. It's showing in stock. Here's the link: https://maximus-3.com/home/jl-stealth-front-license-plate-bracket-frame

Is this what you were looking for?

Greetings from the trail

This is a quick update on my steering set-up which I feel is finally dialed in and complete for the 37" tires I'm running. Here's a list of the mods:

- Metalcloak full Steering Linkage (HD Drag Link, Tie Rod)
- Metalcloak Steering Stabilizer Axle Side Mount
- Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 Fast Adjust Steering Stabilizer
- Metalcloak Front Track Bar Reinforcement Bracket
- Metalcloak Sector Shaft Brace
- Apex Designs USA Steering Boost Kit

The last part of the set-up was the install of Apex Designs USA Steering Boost Kit. This kit provides a 40% boost in steering power and includes an essential cooler to keep system temperatures in check. I will be doing a complete install/review video on the Apex Boost Kit soon. Stay tuned for more
