I see a tennis ball works but not really a fan of the neon green or yellow tennis ball on that nice pretty blue Jeep when there were so many other choices. That blue is so pretty dude you should change that to something else or at least paint the ball black. That blue is so pretty and I have that green yellow ball back there. Not my first choice but it's your Jeep you can do what you want

Installed 35x12.5R18 tires on an 18x8.5" wheels with a +18 offset. It keeps the wheel nice and tight to the tailgate. I was able to get away with just buying the rubber feet for the stools and shove those into the factory bumpstops and it then is pressed against the wheel perfectly. No extra hoses or PVC. Thanks for all the tips on here guys.

Thanks for the tip! Pun intended. Running 285/75R17 Fallen AT3s on a Sport-S. Needed the rough country relocation bracket to close the gate without rubbing...then add chair tips and voila ;)

Thanks for the chair rubber caps that's a good idea when mine that's on there now is like a hard phone wears out I will use those those look great and I want a great idea the last forever where did you say you bought them ? And you put one on both sides right ? And it sticks out far enough where it won't pop out

Can you tell me what size those for caps are ? The packing on the right-hand bottom corner says 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 when I go online like Amazon they show not both together I have to pick one of the two sizes what size are those because on Amazon like I said I have to choose one of the two sizes I want to make sure I get the right one.see in the photo how it makes me pick one of the two sizes I can't get both like it shows on your packing ?

Run to Lowe’s and buy the ones pictured. They work great.

You can also use "ROLLBAR STYROFOAM" just cut a little longer than needed and install over the EXISTING BUMPSTOPS-open slice down-

They're only there to DIMINISH VIBRATION, NOTHING ELSE !

See how that says 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 ?what size is that cuz Home Depot you have to pick one size and Amazon you have to pick one size it doesn't say both on the package so it says both on the package what size is that 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 or is it two of each which one do you use ?

Reason I ask is that other pack from Lowe's says 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 I guess the ones from Home Depot that say 1 inch still work just as good and tight

that's a lot of hockey pucks way of life and his video I think he only used 2 on each side. that's weird. Way of life is that guy that does all those videos on YouTube he makes a bunch of videos about once every month he comes out with cool videos and he showed hockey pucks hockey pucks would be very strong I just don't know how to drill them out you had a countersink of balls were going there or something he literally it was very time-consuming the way he made her look.but it isn't his videos he's a perfectionist at everything he does when he's putting stuff on lifts and everything

I watched his video to do this. He used a longer tire isolator from a JK. I did not. That is why I had three pucks instead of two. It took ten minutes to do this.

He also used a relocation bracket and changed the third light location. I did not have to do those steps. I only had to add the pucks.
