After gawking at the AEV site for a solid month and seeing an AEV JK in person, i determined I wanted AEV ""look"

From a profile standpoint the AEV bull bar sits closer to the grill. Something I liked.

Re: 35 on stock mount- zero issues. It will not stay there for ever though, I want to see what AEV comes out with in terms of a rear.

Thanks for the follow-up. I'd also like to still be alive and see the AEV rear bumper if/when it ever is released. Anyone heard any rumors with respect to a possible release?

I'm also looking to buy the Hankook's MTs in a 33.6" to put on Procomp 7189s 16x8. Are you happy with yours? Will you go with them again in a 37"? I'm guessing your Procomps were 17" wheels.

there is a cutout in the snorkle to allow the antenna to be there. I bought a stubby antenny though, so it looks hidden.
