They're Quadratec Rubicon Xtreme wheels.
I had the Extreme Terrain Mammoth Boulder wheels.https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/rubicon-xtreme-wheel-wrangler-yj-tj
Macleanflood can you fill us in on your tablet set-up?
Nothing more than a $60 Amazon tablet on a cheap swing arm mount mounted to a simple bracket I made to bolt it to the former air bag studs. Pretty basic and easy and less than $100.

Filled up with gas. Since I changed the spark plugs and ignition coils the MPG have been about 2 more then before, can’t complain.
I am still looking for that special oil filter that will greatly improve my MPG

In the process of replacing my thermostat and found a broken bolt flange on the housing and what you see in the pic below. Flushed the entire system, including heater core, and everything looked ok aside from a little debris. Appears the previous owner was aware of the broken flange and just kept adding gasket maker until it would stop leaking.
Waiting on a new Mopar housing in the mail to put it back together.

Finally did a test fit on the MasterTop doors to match the top. I don't hate it. Kind of digging it.
Finished up the rear brake cylinder and drum replacments, bled the brakes - 1st time I've ever done that job. The old brake drum came in handy to keep the fluid collection tank upright.
Took it on a 30 mile round trip to dance class tonite - all seems to be well.

What company makes the uppers?
I want to replace the Smittybilt uppers I have. Was holding out for a set of Bestop but they are spendy.
Mastertop Uppers
Matched with the MasterTop Frameless top with Mopar header.
Mastertop Skymaster
Couldn't pay a premium for a top I've already drug across tree branches.

Painted wheel cylinders! Nothing says I do my own maintenance more then this!
Bought a winter vehicle, gave her a bath, and put her away until spring.
Picked it up from getting the frame rebuilt front to back, body lift, motor mounts (lifted), 37's, and 5.38 gears.
Drives like a dream. Next on the list is hydro assist, next year.

Welp... tried to fix my brakes for the 3rd time in 4 days. I got my 2002 wrangler X on Friday. Pulled the E brake at the gas station and since then the E brake light will not shut off and i can feel it slightly catching. But the alarm noise is gonna do me in. I replaced the e brake cables, and all the adjustment components in the rear wheels. Still it persists
Does the E brakes works as it should? could it just be the switch is stuck? I believe that switch is just picking up the handle position.

Yeah, it pulled up about ⅝ of the way up and was tight, vehicle wouldn't move. Tried rocking it while it was pulled to knock it loose and the slow reverse and pull. After replacing the cables the tension is looser than before, still need to adjust the nut to make it tighter but that alarm still won't go away
The old ones were a mass of rust - so I'm attempting to mitigate that. They might as well be pretty while I'm at it.
