@CodaMan - very nice look. Great job. What tires are those, they look fairly aggressive. Noisy on the road?
Thanks. The tires are FORCEUM M/T-08 Plus. They were new installs when I bought it. I never heard of them and since I needed a spare I looked long and hard for one. They are hard to find, but I found one online. I paid $144 for one shipped to my house. They balanced fine, are quiet on the road and the tread looks like it will work well offroad (I'll let you know).
During my monthly oil cleanup, I discovered a leak from somewhere on the transmission. There were drops of fluid on the bolts that mount the pan. I'll do a more thorough search this weekend, but luckily it's still under warranty from the rebuild.
I'm REALLY starting to contemplate replacing the rear main seal. I'm just tired of fluid leaks, it's just annoying.

Are you selling them? Can I order one than puts both on one side and sticks out further? Wait list?

They are super beefy. I haven't had a chance to use them yet. The pin that was included to hand them on has me a little puzzled. The screw it came with was to large for the factory hole for the sway bar cover mount so I picked up the right size that would fit it. It looks like I would have to extend them even more though for them to mount on that pin in the current location. I've seen and heard a few tricks on how to mount them when you slide them off. Just trying to avoid drilling is all.

Not bad at all, I did the door stops and the handles on different days but they are quick once you get the hang of it. The 2 door stops took me a total of 45 min. That's taking the original ones off including the anchor, measure what you need then sitting on my couch with the little ones catching up on some bubble guppies and Sofia the first. There r a ton of you tube vids on how to make this stuff but if you guys want me to make one I'll be glad to, would be my first vid ever. The door handles take a bit longer and are a tad bit harder to install but after doing it I figured out an easy way around it. In total I spent 8 bucks and used around 23 ft of 550 paracord. Be careful bc a lot of places sell fake paracord and if you ever really need it in an emergency you will be disappointed.
