I did the RF (Rat Fink) dash mod. My butt dyno shows an extra 10hp. Sure beats seeing those ducks on Jeep dashes.

Got some like-new 5x5.5" wheels in the mail today.
PO had TR make them with 3.75" of bs, which I didn't know was an option.
Now for the tire choice and figuring out how to mount them.

Installed the 3D printed snubber extensions and the Rugged Ridge spare tire mount. The Hooke Road one I had stripped the threads on the bolts. The RR one moves the tire about 3/4" closer to the Jeep too. I did have to drill new holes so the RR carrier would clear the lip on the Morryde tailgate reinforcement.

I have the 3D file for them if you want it. It just needs to be manipulated to your dimensions.
Removed my SPORT decals. A Jeep Tech in Burbank informed me that Jeep didn't offer a SPORT UNLIMITED trim in 2004 and if they had, those weren't the style decals in 2004.
Coulda fooled me.

I didn't print them myself. I can send you the file and who I had print them. I think I paid $44 for the 4 of them custom to my dimensions.Nice, interested is selling any? I may be in need of extensions. I need to either modify the tire carrier or bumper to know for sure. Right now the plan is to remove the bumper cut it up and weld in a dropped down section in it so the tire clears the bumper. Are the parts made by these printers that durable? I assume there are variables based on thickness, type of material etc. that is used.
Maybe the PO thought it was a 4 door.

That would be great and appreciated. I guess I need to PM you my email address?
What was your justification for spending that much on a Dana 30? I'm debating spending money on my axles or looking for a decent set of Rubicon axles as a base platform.Since I had not spent a small pile of money in a bit, I ordered a 30 spline Eaton E locker and Sierra Axle chromo shafts for my Dana 30 today
It was truly a struggle for me to spend that kind of money on a tiny axle
