Good point Seth, then maybe we can meet at a place eat or something along that nature. I would go to RC with Suffolk and all of them, just that this loan right now has me by both nuts.

Nice looking. I think we did the same trick with the front plate: I screwed Mag Light mounts to the plate and just clipped it to my fairlead.

Looks good Adam but I actually bought the Stainless Steel Flip Bracket by Tough Stuff. Dented it at RC the Second week it was on the Jeep.
I'll have a Warn on my bumper one day.


Also, Happy New Year Everyone!

hey what'v you guys been able to get locally for 23s wheels and tires around here? i'm still trying to switch to rubi tires but so far all I can find is people trying to sell both their rubi wheels and tires as a package deal...

Edit: are there any other good tires that have the agressive thread look of the rubi tires that would fit on my stock X on my 23s rims?

23s?? haha i think you might mean 32s! The Rubi KMs are good, thats what i have, and i hear the KM2s are even better. As far as another tire??? i would have to say a Goodyear MTR with Kevlar. thats just me though, i dont see me buying tires that are anything other then BFG of Goodyear

I saw those brackets but was afraid of doing exactly what you did! So for $7 locally, I found the Mag Light brackets and they work great! I also love the idea that the cable is blocked by the plate so that some of the road grime and salt won't go directly in through the opening.
