Added the Metalcloak spare tire carrier. Good product, solid and tire does not rattle or move. Good welds. All parts were included and fit exactly like it was designed. No third brake light solution. But I added the Oracle spare tire brake light at the same time. Instructions were really good - step by step and color pics. Exactly what I would expect from Metalcloak. But there are a couple of odd sized Torx bits needed that I didn't realize until I was into the project. The Jeep camera mount has three T8 screws. Seriously Jeep, there's no reason for that.

If you want the ultimate spare carrier, I think the bumper mounted option is the way to go. I just didn’t want to invest that much. I have a heavy 35 for a spare (Nitto Grapplers and Black Rhino rims). Would definitely go a different direction with a larger spare.

Included a box pic because there appears to be a lot of complaints about messed up shipping boxes.

5 tire rotation
Tested JT Brooks deflators
Cleaned all the damn ash off my Jeep

The JT Brooks work awesome. 35#s to 17#s in about 8 minutes. Was taking my slow ass 15 minutes with the ARB and the JT's are a lot less "work".

How do my wear numbers look? (37" Pats). With the lock downs, it is mostly all mall. Been playing with the pressure and have settled on 35#s

Please let us know how it works out for you.
Soooo....nope. To be fair, my place is literally in the middle of the desert. However, if I move 800 yds,I have signal without the booster.

I'll be calling weboost support this week.

How difficult is the harness install on a 1-5 scale? I’m handy but lack patience.
The worst part is the routing thru the firewall. I followed Quadratec video for the process but I'd advise reviewing the Mopar instruction sheet for that step. The Mopar instructions show exactly where you need to poke a small hole for the "red" wire that has to be chased from the rear to the fuse distribution bank. If I"m rating I'd say a 3, as long as you take your time and follow the video everything is pretty simple. Took me about 3.5 hrs to complete the install. I fought with getting thru the firewall for about 40mins though before I looked at the Mopar instructions! Not a big deal but I'd also review the Mopar instruction sheet for the wire tie placement as the Quadratec video doesn't really specify the location for each type of tie when attaching the harness to the frame.

My son and I installed the new @ORACLElights Bi-LED Oculus headlights. Looking forward to nightfall and the ability to check them out. Changed the oil for the first time.

There was this rattling that was coming from the rear that bothered me to no end. Couldn't find the culprit at first, but then decided to just tighten every bolt I can find on my bumper and tire carrier. Turns out on the passenger side several bolts that bolt it to the frame was loose. Most likely due to the hit it took when I was on the trails last month. Now that it's tighten the rattle is gone.

Finally received my birthday gift, hothead headliners. Funny story behind this. My pops was saying he hates how he has to look at the white roof when he sits in my Jeep. My uncle stated oh there's headliners available that is black and sticks on, keeps the inside cool, blah blah blah. Pops go, "son you should buy it so I don't have to look at all the white!" I'm like nah, doesn't bother me enough. Then he goes "Fack it. Consider it your birthday gift to you and me, from us and your bro." My mom gives him a death stare for picking such an expensive gift, and I'm just sitting there laughing and thanking pops for his OCD.

Anyway, installed them yesterday, and boy does it make a difference in sound. The squeaks from my rack when I turn sometimes are gone. The squeaks I get from my suspension in the rear is gone, unless I really look for it. Wind noise is suppressed. Personally I did not expect this kind of difference. Now it's weird driving cause it's so quiet lol

I removed my hard top to install because I didnt want the fiberglass everywhere and the smell of acetone in my Jeep.
