...I also put a Barricade recovery kit from Extreme Terrain @XTJake in the Jeep, now that I have the winch mounted up! It's a really nice kit, including gloves, a snatch block, chain, 26k pound recovery strap, tree saver, and two shackles. The bag is nice quality, too, with some extra pouches. I put the winch remote in there, too.

I installed a Smittybilt XRC9500 Comp on a JCR plate. I had to wrestle with it a little because the JCR plate's driver side mount wasn't straight, but it worked out and fit the XRC perfectly, with room to spare.

I also folded the windshield for the first time! It was a piece of cake! Now we've just got to get Jeep to send us the tie down brackets/straps sometime before summer! Anybody know what the story is on those?

I wish they would just sell this somewhere ...I donā€™t have a lot of time to build one of these lol...But thatā€™s a awesome idea
Yea not gonna lie it took longer than expected especially wrapping the electrical tape 3x around each foam piece. But itā€™s done now and Iā€™m just waiting for the Jeep to get here!

Installed my new set of Rubi wheels, and the pic also shows the previous mods I had done: 13ā€ AntennaX and Rough Country (by NFab) Nerf Bar side steps.
Love the result, giving an overall more rugged look to Ragnar :)

It really didnā€™t take too long except for my taping haha but seriously itā€™s not needed to be taped that much. Cutting and putting the pvc pipes together with the cement then adding the foam took about an hour at the most.

Ok then I might try it ... The harbor freight dolly can hold the weight of 4 doors? Thatā€™s impressive considering it harbor freight

Did you end up having to adjust the break light on the spare?

I did it before going to get the wheels to make sure it wouldnā€™t be in the way and wouldnā€™t make us waste any time as we loaded em in my JL, but ended up lowering it once back home as the other position offered is too high (put a pic on that other post, but I can put it again here ;) )

It seems pretty strong! It held my doors well today without any wiggle room. No locking wheels on it but it didnā€™t move from where I placed it last night. HF also had their pvc cutters for 5 dollars this weekend, not sure how much they usually are but they worked great for this especially since at Home Depot and Loweā€™s that tool is 25-30 dollars for the cheapest one.

Thanks ! :)
@FrenchSSGTMike Theyā€™re the standard Rubi tires, I think 285/70/17 ?
That's the same look I'm going to have...as soon as it's delivered. Watch those N-Fab side steps. If those are the gloss black, I have them on my Tacoma...it's a 2013 and they're rusted to hell.
