    Thanks, Chris! We sure do have some fantastic scenery in the AZ high country.

    Tire Carrier With Protection?

    I don't think there's really any product that's going to do much to mitigate damage in a rear impact situation of any significance. Many here, myself included, favor the MORryde tailgate system that strengthens the tailgate and tire carrier. Not sure I'd suggest it'll do much to reduce damage...

    Spare Tire Holder

    The MORryde kit is highly recommeded by many around here. I run one myself. Eliminates the need to open a swing-out carrier in addition to the rear door, nothing to rattle, lighter, good for up to 35" tires and works with the OEM carrier. https://www.morryde.com/products-cat/reinforcement/

    Anyone running a 2 1/2" lift with 33 in tires? Pics / Opinions wanted!

    Check out the threads others have linked first. I'd also recommend steering clear of Rough Country. Before doing enough research, I installed a RC 2" spacer lift shortly after buying my TJ. Didn't have springs but came with shocks, which I'm sure are probably the same ones you'll get with...

    2.5" spring lift + 1.25" body lift and 1" motor mount lift. 33/10.5/ r15 BFG KO2s. Excellent in both on road ride and off road performance.

    Wranglerfixed

    I'm right about the same ~5 years and ~20k miles worry free; great product, even its original form!

    Wranglerfixed

    Able to share any metrics on the increased performance? Are these (tuning existing WF PCMs) available to order/arrange now? If yes to #2 above, what's the process and expected turnaround time?

    Would existing Wranglerfix customers be purchasing a new PCM or sending their current Wranglerfix PCM back for 'retuning'?

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I learned to drive on a '64 Ford Econoline truck. 3 speed on the tree and the straight 6 between the seats. My dad said if I could manage that, I could drive just about anything and he was right. It was a fun rig to scoot around in once you got the hang of it. Wish they'd have hung onto it.

    Oof...the ReadyBrake has gone up a bunch since I bought mine in 2019. I wouldn't chance the off brand, especially one with no substantial review history. Have you looked for the ReadyBrake on other websites? I found it listed at many RV dealers, truck speciality shops, and surprisingly...
