04’ TJ Rubicon

Went ahead and installed a two inch lift kit to balance out the trailer. Jeep wasn’t wired yet so I had to use our pickup to tow it around.

Came up with a nice solution for the trailer wiring. The 7 pin trailer wiring was a bit longer so I utilized the center cap as a mounting point. Hole drilled out the center cap with a 1 1/2” bit and walla! It shimmied in and a little silicone holds it in place nicely.

Well I started with putting the new tires on and have been waiting for the oddball wheels I showed in an earlier post. The wheels are not happening as they have discontinued the color.. I will update the wheels later this week.

However I start in on the rear bumper and tire carrier issue.. Decided, based on a few threads here on the tj forum, that ai would put an MoRryde / Exogate on and diligently reseached bumpers. I decidd to go with the bullet proof 1/4 steel bumper that Troy offers as Swag Offoad.

Got them back from powder coating today and the local shop did a great job.

It shows up in so many different shades in your pics. I like the color.

Are the wheels beadlocks?
What method did you use to balance the tires and wheels?

No just mock beadlocks but pretty convincing!

How did you end up installing the PRP bench? Did you end up using the Corbeau TJ bench bracket? Any pictures?
