Default AEV, RK, and Nitto - Awesome Combination!

Just finished up my mods for the next few months. Wallet is smoking! Well worth it though. I put on the AEV Premium bumper and air induction hood a couple of weeks ago. The Rock Krawler 2.5" Stock Mod and Nitto Trail Grapplers went on yesterday. Smittybilt Oversized Tire Carrier went on today, as well as a quick garage alignment and Rugged Ridge door handles. My wife is going to need them! Front RK LCA's come this week for a next weekend install!

Next stop is an AEV or LOD rear bumper, skid plate, and roof rack.

Great looking rig! Lod rear is very beefy and not as much $$$

I went with the linked version and I am very happy

That's kind of funny really. I have Nitto Trail Grapplers sitting in the garage and my AEV Premium Bumper should be delivered today.

I guess we have good taste ....... .

Looks great BTW.

Nice choice! If you need any assistance on the install of the bumper, shoot me a PM. There are some things that are not mentioned on the directions. I had to drill 4 holes (2 on each side), instead of 2. And don't forget a 1/2" titanium drill bit. Otherwise you'll be there all day. You'll love the Nitto's. There's not a better looking tire IMO.
