I'm in love with your JKU build! I dig the subtle american flag on the back windows. Very clean build.

Thanks! The vision I had for this JK is coming together. The subdued flag was something that just came to me as I was thinking of completely covering the glass from the inside.

The combination of the Warn 8274 and Master Pull rope, for me, is the best choice possible out there. You can fit 200 feet of rope and the reliability is second to none. There really is no other better option out there for Wranglers.

After months of recovering from some injuries, I got to go back to the Infidel Gunfighter League match at Range 37. It was great to get back in the groove.

A buddy with the knockoff JWS taillights had a set of similar light guards. They're designed for the factory OEM lights, but the holes actually line up. I figured they were not compatible with ones designed for OEM lights, so I never bothered to even look. What is not compatible with the JWS ones is the mounting hardware. I had to get some 2-1/2" #10 screws and they worked perfectly. You use the original light screws for the inboard ones and for the outboard ones you use the 2-1/2" ones. I will eventually color match them along with the lights too.

Mounted the IROK-ND on the color matched Huthcinson beadlocks.



I also installed the Teraflex hinge and spare mount.



The Hilift mount and Emergency backup tool were also added.

Man! I better get on the ball with my new Jeep build! Lol. Very nice Al, keep me in the loop on Off-road events also.

I have a lot of parts sitting on the ground for this one. Just waiting on which suspension I'm going to go with.

I was hoping to go to the Uwharrie Jamboree but have an activity for my son. :( Will let you know when I know.
