Just got Hoss back from getting a ceramic coat. I also added some rear cargo accessories - fire extinguisher, storage bins, overhead remote wireless LED light kit and a rear tailgate axe/shovel.

How does your AFE sound? I’m in the middle of putting in a Magnaflow Rockcrawler Cat-Back.

Question for JLUS folks who upgraded to JLUR 33" KO2s. Is the stock spare tire mount strong enough for the 33" KO2s? Just asking cause I noticed some squeaking back there since upgrading. I notice it while going slow with the radio off - so I go fast with the radio on. ;)

At the moment, zip ties that the straps can slide through. I'm going to experiment this week with nylon straps and/or d-rings (not shackles)
Yeah I figured that out while I was waiting. I used zip ties as well and I think it will work perfect.

It sounds decent. Definitely louder then stock due to it dumping before the axle. Not too much drone I could tell.

I just finished my Magnaflow Rock Crawler Cat-Back Exhaust install. I thought it might get a modest uptick in rumble. Holy s@#t! It growls like a hound out of hell. It’s gonna take some getting used to...but me likes.

Do you have any more details on the wiring, install for this genius light idea?
I purchased the led tape light on eBay, it's dual row of LEDs. The 3m tape on the LEDs was not stickey enough. So went to Home Depot got some double sticker CLEAR tape. Worked perfect. Ran the wires thru the channel on the hatch. Fished the wires thru the hardtop. That was a pain. Used power from the 12v plug in the rear cargo area. Good luck have fun.

After driving with the AFE Rockbasher for 40 miles, I have realized its time for a 6.4L swap. I need the V8 sound back lol

Nice work! Did you mount the CB box under the dash? If so can you share some pictures? I have the same CB sitting in my garage waiting to be installed next weekend
I mounted the head unit behind the glovebox. Just enough room.

I like them a lot so far. I haven't wired in the lighting yet. TTEChris did a great write up but I am not sure I am ready to take on. Some initial thoughts on the ROAM sidesteps:

- they look great
- they sit higher than some other steps and cover up the crimped edge nicely - might be too high if you have a big lift
- they are heavy duty steps but they are not tied into the frame - I believe they tie in the same as JLUR rock rails
- install was easy - just a couple of sockets and pliers
- if you are installing on a sport you will have to buy 6 screws (and washer) - JLUR guys have these left over from their rock rails.
- they suggest threadlocker
- when you are installing be careful not to rub the step against the side of the jeep

Cheers!
Looks good. Thanks.
