A little update, not that anyones reading haha but anyways...
Took gumbo on the trails for the first time

Installed Rigid SR revers lights with their mounts.

Gumby hit his first rain storm without doors and top, whoops.


Had a great 4th of July

Started tatting him up a bit

And then took my gramps (85) on a trip through Blue Ridge/Ellijay/Jasper on some backroads, we had a blast.


On the way:
Bushwacker flat fenders
Gears with lockers

Jeep looks awesome man. Blue ridge is a cool place. I live out in gwinnett and I just got my first 4 door wrangler a couple weeks ago. Did you do anything to your driveshaft when you put the rancho lift on?

Nope havnt had any issues. I know the newer models have clearance issues with the exhaust.

Been doing some things here and there. Plasti-dipped the grille, ordered flashers for my led pods and finally got my spare just waiting on the hardware to run the tire carrier. Will add photos when it's all done.

Well.. pulled the trigger on Aries Offroad tube fenders--seem to be identical to the GenRights, so we will see.

Update:
Aries fenders came Tuesday, rivnut tool came today and i just got done installing them. It was a breeze, on the rears I decided to use bolts/nuts on the top two holes that were accessible from the rear just to make life easier. I HIGHLY recommend these tube fenders. I paid 565 shipped from 4wheelonline.com. On to the pictures. I also swapped out my epistar 50" for a CREE and damn what a difference too!
Stock fenders off(ran Gumby like this for a few weeks and got sick of the look)

Fronts done

Rears done

Epistar bar on right(my twin brothers truck, and CREE on my jeep)

Looking good man How do you like those tires I dont hear too much about them. How are they on the rocks, road noise, balancing, weight and wear? Sorry for all the questions I plan on trying something else when my mtrs wear out

08GumbyJKU

So far tires are great, handle dirt and mud fairly well, havnt taken them on rock yet but I imagine they're pretty good. Balancing and road noise I havnt had an issue, they were a little over inflated and got a steering wheel jiggle but dropped a psi and all good. Here's better pics of the flares.

Got a Smittybilt XRC Rear bumper with carrier and 3rd brake light adapter for a STEAL. Traded him my factory bumpers and tire mount plus 250 and was on my merry way. Anyone want a E-Auto one it's sitting in my garage.
