Future Plans: I would like to go to the KM3 tire or another tire, but still in the 35” variety. I hope to hit the mileage that Mark Dorion has and surpass him, but that’s a pipe dream. If you've got questions, I'm up for answering them. You'll see me in western VA and also down at Uwharrie National Forest in NC. Thanks for looking today.









Wheeling at Uwharrie National Forest today (April 26).....lightly, momentarily, taking a break.....stuck.

 

Nice job trimming the fender flares, how did you deal with the inner fender liners?

 

It was my second attempt at cutting them but I ended up cutting the factory inner liners roughly along the lines of the newly cut flares. Secure the bottom corner against a body mount and they're solid. I ditched the rears completely because there was no way to save them or even point in doing so, in my opinion.

 

I enjoy seeing the up close photos. Very nicely done!

 

This was the color of the first JK I tried to buy... they sold it before I had my stuff put together... loved that color!

 

Congratulations! Winner of the July 2019 FJOTM contest.

Sweet rig man! Congrats on Jeep of the Month!

 

Thanks for choosing me as the Jeep of the month. The plan to step up to 35" km3's was sidelined as I found a better deal on some Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires. They grab very well. I'll add a picture later but the Jeep now plays out at Windrock park in TN....hoping to step up to the more difficult trails shortly.

 

Awesome. Can't wait to see a pic!

 

Just a couple of more recent pictures with new tires- not KM3's, they were too heavy, and the MCE fender flares in place of the factory trimmed ones.
