Looks great. Congrats.

Good luck with the mods.

Nice looking rig, I purchased a black rubi from Dave Smith only a few days before you.

Question: Where did you get the low tire pressure sensors?

Big O tire. Any tire shop should have them.

Very nice kntr!

It looks like you will driving yours before I get mine back from AEV. We are hoping to have it shipped on Friday, but I am having them add the leather so that may push it back a bit further.

I can't wait to see what your bumpers look like with the Line X.

Those leads are not the TPS. The TPS system works off of a RF (radio freguency) signal - wireless. Those leads are for the ABS (anti lock brakes) sensors.

Nice Jeep BTW, was a toss up for Red Rock or Detonator Yellow for color.

The aftermarket sensors worked perfect. No TPS light on the dash.
