Thanks! I know that the general though is "Jeep & 20's = FAIL" but I really liked the XD Addicts thought they'd look good in 20's. Also, with a tire that measures 35.6 inches tall, I have plenty of sidewall and don't think anyone will consider them "Low Profile", lol. The Evap skid will be in the next phase of modifications, probably to begin in the spring. Gotta save some money back up, lol.

 

The KM2's are awesome in the deep snow, but almost scary on light snow/slightly icey roads. The front and rear seats are the OEM Leather, right from Jeep. I ordered it loaded with everything except the Engine Block Heater and Hitch. I added the Mopar hitch after the fact. I did install the Mopar Heated seat kit myself, it was an easy but slightly time consuming modification. It was a bit nerve racking taking the first seat apart. I kept thinking I was gonna mess up and rip the OEM leather, lol.

 

beautiful JK...nice taste in mods....very well done

 

Originally, I wanted either Black (1st choice) or Silver (2nd Choice). Then, I heard about the Dk. Charcoal Pearl and shorty after saw one (a 2-Door X) and loved it. I shortly after placed my order. Then, I heard that the color was being discontinued (and being made for export only) and got worried that my order may not be filled. I got confirmation (from my dealer) and was happy. It picked it up 12/31/09. Nice new years eve present.

 

Thanks! So far, no hate on the 20's.

 

How did everything work out getting it installed by AEV in Wixom? Any problems? I plan on having them install my lift when I'm ready.
Also, do you know how much the driveshaft was? That's the one that doesn't need any control arms, right?

 

No problem at all having my install done at AEV in Wixom. Quite the opposite in fact. I dropped it off January 2nd (Sunday afternoon). Jeff Clark originally told me it would take 8 working days to complete, so a week and a half. But, he ended up having in ready for me that Thursday, January 6th, which he knew was my Birthday. He said he was trying had to get it done for me by then. Everything is great with my now AEV'd Jeep. I do have to take it back to them to get the front bumper straightened out a bit. It is slightly off. I mentioned it to them and no problem. Also, they're going to install the AEV Logo's (the Bull) on the side above the "Wrangler Unlimited" in Black to match the OEM silver decals that I replaced. I will also be getting their Rear Mud Guards (which I saw there) once they become available for sale to the general public. You won't be disappointed!

 

Very cool. I've emailed Jeff a few times about quotes and he has always been very helpful and quick in his response time. I may have to stop by there and see some of the new products, like the mud flaps and driveshaft. I also hear that they are going to be releasing a 2" lift for the JK. There are alot of people waiting for the AEV driveshaft but nobody even knows it's out yet because AEV does not have it listed on their site and whenever anybody asks about it on their forum, there is never any response. Do you know how much you paid for the driveshaft?

 

Jeff is a very nice guy. I like him and everyone there a lot. They're all very friendly and helpful. The driveshaft is a thinner diameter but thicker walled from what I was told. I believe it ran me $400, installed along with everything else. Yeah, I dunno why they aren't advertising it yet. Maybe they are still limited and want their actual builds and customers to get them first? Just a guess. They never mentioned and I have only heard rumors of a 2" lift. We'll see. They're very hush hush about talking about any products until they are actually released. I have heard that they are NOT going to make the Front Mud Guards though. THis was after originally hearing they were gonna be a month or two out after the rears...

 

Thank you very much for the compliment! I really appreciate all the kind words considering how many sweet Rigs on on this forum. I was kind of expecting a lot of hate and dislike to my wheel/tire choice, but I'm pleasantly surprised.
