More pics of how that carrier mounts would be appriciated!

 

chucked the stock wobbly tire carrier and built one that makes me feel warm and fuzzy... no more thunk a thunk from the spare...

 

How are the door hinges doing, holding up the additional weight?

 

That looks like the Hanson Rear Tire Carrier. It spreads the weight out over the whole tailgate. I like it.

 

Thanks, it's only been on for a few days. I expect no issues cause the hinges are actually quite stout. I may add another brace to stiffen up the tailgate a bit more. It sure feels better. It only weighs about 6 pounds.

 

Last evening, I installed the MBRP Stainless Steel Single Side cat-back system. The only issue wasn't the install, but getting the stock exhaust off of the rubber hangers. WD-40, a screw driver and a lot of elbow grease... it was a pain in the ***!!! The new system went on easily and it looks and sounds great!!!

RUGGED RIDGE BUMPER W/ STINGER HOOP! YEAH BABY!!!!

 

YAAAAAY!

I'm ready for my first mod. I wish I could do it myself, but I am NOT drilling holes. I don't even want to be there when it happens! LMAO! It's like when your kid gets a shot or blood draw or something. It has to be done, but you know it may hurt, and you don't want to watch!

Thanks to JeepinMass, I bought a Smittybilt stubby front bumper. So, in a couple weeks, once my new KC fogs come in, I will bring it to Endangered Species, a local shop here in MA that pretty much specializes in Jeep mods. they will put my new bumper on, and I will get 2 KC fog lights hooked up, since the bumper won't accomodate the factory ones. they will hook it up to the same switch, though.

So, I can't wait!!

 

Do they use Spotted Owls and Sea Turtles to install lifts?
