We were able to get the Jeep outside to test drive and check for clearance issues:
Going to need to trim the fenders to run these 37's!

Sitting at my desk wrapping some things up for Manufacturing and UPS shows up with an overnight package. The box was from Active Grafix, it was a JKU Jeep wrap kit designed for the Jeep! Check them out! https://activegrafix.com/main/
Laid out:
I installed these wraps on Project Crusader:
As well as on our trailer:
So I had plenty of practice! This material is very easy to work with and very forgiving. You can actually stick it down and pull it back up.
Installing Driver side first...
One side complete.
Amy will probably like this addition! Probably will be the only addition she'll like! haha

Time to get the other side done!

Making some more progress....
Hood decal:
This box of goodies showed up!
Daryl got rolling away installing the RIPP Supercharger....
Getting there...
Needed some surgery to fit the 37's!
Ripped all the rear flare and inner wheel wells and painted everything black:
Started cutting!
We are running our Vanguard Full Width bumpers on this, so we needed to trim the flares to still look good with a Full Width bumper!
Cutting the Rears:
Back to work!!!

Wrapped up the installation on the RIPP Supercharger. They also sent us a High Boost pulley, which is only 1 of 3 Pentastar's running it! It makes more RWHP than a 6.0L LS motor!
For the front bumper, we went with our Vanguard Front Full-Width bumper. Figured this would be the best all around bumper for Amy when she gets this back and takes it on urban adventures (read; Grocery store, Daycare, Mall)
Installing the rear Vanguard Full Width bumper, with a pair of cube LED lights!
We installed the Shield Carrier, this way Amy can have one hand operation on the tailgate!
Here is the rear tire stuffed when the fenders trimmed:
Here's a side profile of the Jeep. Rear Bumper installed with Carrier, Wrap done, Fenders trimmed and the suspension slightly settled! We have the front bumper temporarily bolted on, waiting on the Warn winch to shadow our doorstep!
Last part of the update, we installed a Kenwood Nav unit. This will be nice to have on the trip to EJS and then to Jeep Beach!
That's all for now....~Brian

looks good...
Did you have to run spacers on the wheels to avoid rubbing the lower a arms or spring mount while at full stuff?
I have a similatr set up and have to run spacers with my method 4.75 bs wheels or there would be serious issues on the trail.
