Thankfully, I didn't do that. Also thankful that ATX didn't have color options for my custom drilled 8x170 wheels. I'd barely be played out at all then!

I know I'm not truly a winner in most played out JK. All my shit is welded on. If only I had everything bolt-on. I could have at least 200 more bolts on my Jeep! Play on, player.

Just having some fun. Hence the smiley face.

Everybody on these forums gets so defensive and worried about stuff.

Ive had black wheels and black with machined lip on my '08. I'm currently running stock + spacers....How original is that?

Honestly, nobody really cares about what we do with our rides.

I was really just giving you shit as an excuse to post a pic of my Jeep.

I hate all black wheels, but can't stand the all blacked out look (black jeep, black wheels). Only thing worse, is fake beadlocks (black wheels and "fake" machined lip).

However, nothing can compare to the dealer sold JK Fanboy Edition with Heavy Duty Poser package. I think they refer to it as AEV?

New latch is way stronger. I regret getting the carrier though. I'll just say it... It's a poor design. I'd get rid of it, but would never sell it to someone and don't really want to be out that much money. I've had three products from PSC. All had significant issues or failures. First two, they didn't do crap. The carrier they sent a new latch, but it's because I wasn't the only one to blow it out the back. Still doesn't fix the issue that you have to use about 50lbs of lifting force to get it lined up to close. I talked to them. They sent me a pic with some circles and told me to rotate the hinges. Seriously? Haha. Guess that's the mall crawler answer. I didn't have the heart to tell the guy the design is garbage. Only have myself to blame at this point.

That sucks, sorry to hear it. The psc carrier is pretty much ticks all the boxes of what I was looking for, and if the latch and hinges worked as designed would be a great product. My other option is the genright but it's got pull pins I like the latch idea better if it worked. Thanks for the honest review!
