Genright aluminum tire carrier is installed. I am keeping it raw as it matches the painted fenders nicely.

GenRight makes some very nice products, congrats it looks sweet!

Did a little flexing today and it looks like a fender trimming is in order

.

I also have a “clunk” that sounds like exhaust hitting something. Anyone have a suggestion where that might be? Sounds like it’s toward the rear some. I have raised the belly but it doesn’t look like it’s hitting there.

Shock maybe?

Shock maybe?

Maybe. They are new OME nitro shocks, but maybe one lost some gas.

What’s your setup? It looks like you have a 2.5” OME and a 1.25” BL and 33’s. If that’s your setup with the MetalCloak Overlines, where are you rubbing? Shouldn’t rub I wouldn’t think

Edit: Ok, I think I see the rubbing on the rear, white portion of the body. Wha’ts your bump stop? Couldn’t you just trim that part of the fender well?

Be a good idea to disco the sway bar and check again, unless you plan to keep it connected off road.

I have 35’s so I think I will trim the fender up to the fender guards. That should take care of the rubbing.

I have the ORO Swayloc so I’m not disconnecting entirely. But, it’s not installed yet so the rubbing happened with the stock swaybars installed.

What an awesome license plate. I didn't know Arizona had one like that. I love it!

It’s in support of first responders. I work in healthcare and depend on our EMS and police everyday.

Yeah, those are obviously new since I last lived in Arizona. I really dig the design of that plate. Looks great on the TJ!

What tire carrier is that BTW?

GenRight.

Found the “clunk”. My rear diff is hitting the gas tank skid. I have adj arms so it can be moved forward a little.

Really nice tire carrier a local member of our club has one. Have any gripes about it?

Edit: Also is it easy to get the tire on and off?

No gripes so far. But I don’t have very many miles on it. The tire is pretty easy to put on, but it is heavy so having a second pair of hands helps.

Installed a River Raider Off Road Hi-Lift jack mount behind the rear seat today.

Metalcloak rock railings are on!

 

[TJ2]

That is a cool rig!!!!!!
If your tarp is black, it pops out even more.
I am jealous. I dig it.

 

[JMT]

The rock rails really bring your silver fenders together. Nice work!
