Here in WA they charge a HUGE amount for personalized plates.... It's over $230 per year here to have them.... Not worth it to me.

Yeah, the south tends to be way less. I think it’s like $20 here. I haven’t had this plate since probably 20 years ago in Mississippi.

You can even use symbol characters like $, lol.
 
Been traveling for work like crazy lately, starting to feel the crunch to be ready for EJS.

Finally broke down and ordered wheels and tires. 17x9 Thret Maze Beadlocks custom cut for 8x170 -14mm, 40" Trail Grapps.

Grabbed all the Barnes heim steering stuff during black friday.

Have to make a decision soon on whether I'm going to bite the bullet and order coilovers. Leaning 3.5 front 5.5 rear MC Dual Rate coils and 14" 5165s for now.
 
Center skid in place, I’ll swap bolts for buttons after everything’s finalized and the SYE and shafts are done.

I’ll wait to then to mount but trans/oil skid prepped and painted.

Hope this add some awesome induction noise for the hot oily and possible underwater air it breathes in, lol.

I’m sure I’ll redo it after Moab.
