Put my WAL windshield sticker on. Since I won a free bumper I figured it was the least I could do!

Here's how 4" EVO sits with 35's. Good luck with your decision!

Go with the EVO 4". I had the same req's as you and plan to upgrade to 37's. With a front DS and draglink flip it will run a little over $2k but worth it in the long run.

Oh, and while I was working back there I figured out a great way to carry my CB antenna when I'm not using it. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best!!

Project complete and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! Very solid and I think it will be a great addition. I have one last change to make and that is to get some thumb screws for the underside tube mounts. Then I can remove the entire thing without any tools. [emoji106] Bestop...

Downtube's cut, drilled and installed. I put some wing nuts on the horizontal bar bolts for easy removal. Here, I've notched out the rear horizontal support brackets so I can drill new holes in the tube for the bolts that anchor the basket. I'll do some touch-up paint work after I test...

Slight issue with the rear mount. The basket has embedded nuts to anchor the basket to the tubes. I could drill through the plastic and stick some bolts through but I'd rather use those embedded nuts so it's going to require some trimming of the side rollbar brackets included with the kit. Not a...

I love it when a plan works out! Got everything in place temporarily to make sure things all line up and it will work out great. And here's the basket in place. I ended up reusing 85% of the original bracket kit with some modifications. I'll just cut the down tubes and drill new holes. The...

I'm working through the fabrication of the cargo basket supports and I think my [emoji362] idea might work pretty well. Here's the first step of mounting the light bar brackets I got. They didn't have 2.25" so I got the 2.5-2.6" ones. They come with a thin piece of rubber when using on 25"...

I was searching for ideas earlier this week on how to mount the rear support bar for my cargo basket. I came across these rollbar light mounts on eBay, and think with some spacers I can mount the rear down-tubes to them and it may work out perfectly. More to come this weekend as I work through...

On the menu for this evening's install... a little comfort for my rear seat passengers with a recline kit. I thought this was going to take < 1 hr but of course it took longer. I was sweating my ass off by the end because of the work it takes for those seat bolts!

Got around to installing my grab handles yesterday evening. Even though they aren't Grabars they are plenty solid and will work just fine. [emoji106] I decided to keep the other grab handles for the rear center. Since they have metal grommets the new handle went right over them and it worked...

So I've been thinking about maximizing the rear cargo space by getting a shelf style rack for the rear. I feel it will work much better than trying to stack stuff and then you have to dig to get the stuff underneath. I researched everything that was out there and ended up liking the Bestop...

Great Father's Day gift! Not authentic Grabars, but I'm fine with that. More money for a future gift [emoji6]

Yeah, I'm going to reduce the caster a bit and try it but there's no way I can get rid of almost 7 degrees of pinion/DS angle. I still want it to be good to drive on the highway and safe so nothing breaks. I'm going to call ORE today and see what they say. If I step down to 3" springs it would...

Now that the Jeep has gotten a badass suspension and tire upgrade I felt like I needed something for the body. Rockskins are planned for the near future, but for now I decided on...

Since I was able to get the new front driveshaft installed Amp'd 2.0 was ready for its first run! I didn't get much sleep Friday night and the 4:45 am alarm came pretty quickly. I was thoroughly impressed by the performance of everything! The 4" Enforcer has great flex and kept my tires planed...

Right around the time when I finished up the oil change I got an email from the saying they wouldn't be pulling the driveshafts until Monday. Damn! I really wanted to do the Calico run and test out the new suspension so I made a call to JE Reel to see if they had any 1350's in stock. Well, it...

Last weekend a trip was planned to Calico, but as of The beginning of the week I wasn't going because the front driveshaft I had gotten from a friend ended up being too short. [emoji17] I had found another used one but the guy was taking his Jeep into Rebel and wasn't sure when they were going...
