Over the last couple days I installed the Teraflex tire carrier and tailgate table. Both were pretty simple installs and the videos made it quite nice. I did learn a few pearls, in regards to the tire carrier, remember to unhook the third brake light cable prior to removing the carrier. This is done easily by removing a few T20 screws from the back side then un-clipping the brake light connection. The directions also state to open the hinge a few degrees on the carrier, let me tell you this was no easy feat as the hinge is very tight! I had to use a cheater bar. In regards to the actual tire carrier I found it a little challenging setting the wheel studs in place. Also if you rely solely on the video, be careful as the diagram is not the same in regard to where to put the studs in the holes. Apparently there may be two versions. The table was quite straight forward. I did miss the mark a bit on on hole but just over drilled the hole on the table to compensate. The table is very sturdy and most importantly, rattle free! Here's a few pics of both installs.

The build is coming along quite nicely. I had a chance to install Rigid Industries SR-Q flush mount back up light kit. I mounted them into my rear AEV bumper. 
What better accessory to accompany them than the sPod. The sPod is a terrific product great quality and OEM appearance. Many people have a hard time with the price point but in my opinion it is well worth it. 
On Tuesday the jeep goes under the knife for the TeraFlex pre-runner in stall. I'm excited and nervous at the same time as this is my first major project with the jeep. Nothing like cutting apart and welding on a nearly new Jeep!

Very nice. I especially like the passengers side with the pic of Arlington and the flag folding. I will never forget my time there. Thanks for this, keep up the good work.

I really like the idea of this build and I love the wrap. I'm partial to that passenger rear door and with the maltese for the 19 LODD's on Granite Mtn. Just out of curiousity, was there a 343 in the wrap, too? Can't wait to see this continue.

I can't take credit for the wrap install as I had that professionally done I just helped with the design and they brought my ideas to reality
Over the last week we installed the TeraFlex pre-runner kit. When I get a chance I will post up pics of the build process for that aspect. It turned out awesome. I'll leave that as a teaser
