Random question- is your license plate installed on an angle? On purpose?
Metalcloak bumper license plate frame can be turned from straight to angled. I’m guessing to get it closer to the body so it doesn’t snag.

Yes. It is a Metalcloak. Adjustable. For the reason you stated. I like the look also.

Finally got my lift installed today at a local off-road shop. WOW!!! The Clayton Off-road 1.5” Overland plus is exactly what I was wanting with my 35s. Overall I gained 2 1/4”. The weather is nasty today so better pictures to come later, but here are a few with a couple of before pics too. First off-road trip in two weeks for the Fun Run at Hot Springs Off-road park.

You gain 2 1/4” lift from just the 1.5” kit? Did you have 35s on before or is the 2 1/4” including 35s being added too?
Can you tell me what rails those are?

I've had the 35s on since Dec '20 (so before the lift) and wanted more room for flex but didn't want to go too tall, for me (I'm only 5'9"). I've watch this lift for about a year and it was what I was wanting. After talking with Clayton Off-Road, most lifts are actually taller than advertised so that the lift will always provide what was stated; hence why most everyone gains more than the lift. So, I picked up 2 1/4" and over time it will settle some, but not too much - it is perfect for me a my uses.

those rails are the Mopar Performance Rock steps. they have about 4" of width for stepping, but are not too wide or hang too low, plus they serve as a rock rail to protect the rocker panel.

Installed an Apex Bandland Winch, Warn winch plate, Factor 55 Flatlink E, Mopar 7 inch off-road lights and a Mopar winch/grill guard.

The winch is connected to Aux 4 but I still added a manual cutoff to the warn solenoid as backup. Off-road lights will get wired up next week when the Maximus 3 tow loops get delivered and installed.

The apex clutch handle still has to get cut down because it doesn’t clear the winch/grill guard.

I got the Evo 12s winch, factor 55 e flatlink, and kraken installed this past wednesday at Epic Adventure.. but I waited to finally respool and tension my winch line today when i took my kids to the park.. I used a tree saver, slowly pulled myself... This was my first time, and i had to do it multiple times.. to learn, to practise, and frankly I didn't think I did a good job.
My kids were thrilled though, because I was able to fill their bicycle tires using the Jeep instead of going to the gas station... They were impressed! Hahaha
But with the ARB compressor under the passenger seat, my Mopar floor mat can't stay flat anymore.. but I think it is fine, I would rather like to have a cushion between my air compressor and my kids' kicking feet..

Oh, I also installed the Hothead headliners yesterday... I do notice a quieter drive..

I can't wait for my next off roading trip!
