I installed the Smittybilt tailgate reinforcement and tire carrier last nigh. I am going to fab a different bracket for the license plate/3rd brake light. But this thing is much more stout that I thought it would be. I am far from a Smittybilt fan, but my mind may be changing. I give it a 9/10.

I hate smittybilt. Most of the shit on my Jeep is smittybilt. Life is full of such mysteries. I also have the tire carrier. No complaints.

Would you mind posting details on the heat shield? I have the same bracket and have had issues with overheating.

I bought this, might be able to find cheaper but I was in a rush.

Amazon.com: AC PERFORMANCE Reduce Radiant Heat Heatshield Armor 1/2" Thick x 1' Wide x 2' Long Exhaust Pipe Heat Shield Silver (12.7mm Thick x 1 Foot Wide x 2 feet Length): Automotive

I peeled off all the fabric stuff. Folded the sheet over itself and bent up 1 side (on bottom back of compressor) to make it fit.

Bent the front in (firewall side) so it wedged behind the bracket and poked holes where 2 of the body mounted studs are so it sat flush and studs went thru bracket as normal.

Once you remove the fabric it's really easy to bend and fit as you need.

Finished off the 2.5 Gamechanger install I started yesterday, rides good so far and huge difference. Now to start looking at new shoes so its not looking like a rollerskate!

Installed Rugged Ridge door guards (no pics because there’s a ton out there already). Also installed JL roof rack from DeeZee and modified two Plano 36” gun cases for storage up top.

OK, with all the previous politics & BS that's occured in the NFL, I haven't watched a game yet this year, and apparently, I"m not really into starting now. That being said, I put in another couple items today:

Rear storage bins (every little bit helps) before & after pics of both sides

Where did you get those back bins? I like the extra storage back there...
