Looking Good.

Not a fan of colorful disco light s on Jeeps, but always appreciate more interior light. I tapped into the dome light with 2 24" super bright white led strips to light the foot wells, so bright though they kinda over power the led dome. Looks factory, no wires, lights, or anything visible. I like it

Here is the Winch (w/cover) and new tires. After much internal debate I decided to go with the BFG KM2 in a 285/75/17 unmounted is 33.8in. The wife is having a hell of a time getting in (she's only 5ft with 2 bad knees) I have some ace rock rails on order and an olympic removable step to attach to them.

I bought a Currie Air Down tool and Smittybilt Air Compressor, then tried it out earlier today at Wishon Reservoir (Central California) at 7700'. Aired down to 15 psi, it looked like I could have air down more. How low do you go in the snow? I wasn't sure how far I could go without losing a bead.

I used to go down to 11psi before getting beadlocks with my old 35s. It really made a difference from 15psi.

Just play with it until you find something that works best for your tires.I ran 11lbs on our KM2's.I've also seen some guys as low as 5lbs on non-beadlock,but that's pushing it

Installed ESP kill switch. Great simple addition. Especially being I own a 07, no need to have my comp re-flashed now.
