Hope they don't jack you!

Yeah thinking about it today I think I'm going to get a chain lock and secure it to something, that way someone doesn't take it. Couldn't imagine someone wanting one heavy wheel but I could be wrong

Lol get rear ended watch tire play paddle ball with your passengers heads......

Very dangerous set up there would not want a tire 35" + fly I g around there's a reason bolts hold them down, tie straps and all thread with urethane mounts....

Get a ratchet strap and anchor accros it to the cage....then lock it, a lock will kelp it from getting stolen but not smashing someone in a accident....that's like the loose hi-lift jack idea....
Strap it down....wrecked my pre runner and watched my tire fly 50+ feet up and hundred feet out ...this was a 35" and it flew easily.....it was thrown in back barely strapped down and wrecked.....pot hole half the size of my tire on road destroyed right front rim an and tire sending me into ditch....

Cool

Installed a LockPick I've had laying around for a year, added a backup camera so I can actually see if someone is standing behind the Jeep Adjusted the steering stops on my Reid knuckles and gained turning radius Fixed the coolant leak I was having, re-torqued the time cover to block bolts Wired up some new LED rear side lights
This weekend prepping for Moab

Well, last weekend I swapped axles with a 2011 Sahara. The donor jeep had the standard D30/D44 but with upgrades. I now am running Detroit True Tracs with 4.88 gearing. The front axle has Evo tubes and inner C gussets. I swapped out my Rough Country 4 inch springs for AEV 3.5 inch springs and Bilstein 5100 shocks. I also have a Poly Performance tie-rod and a Poly Performance rear adjustable track bar. I will be installing a JE Reel 1350 drive shaft in the front this week while I am off from work. Pretty good weekend project. Now I need some serious time to recover. I am sore. LOL

Yo Travis

The Lockpick is pretty cool, simple things like entering an address into the NAV while you're moving I really do like the backup camera way better odds... of not running over somebody (literally), Hoping to install a front camera this weekend for Moab, when I'm cresting those places where you can't see sh!t I can at least have an idea if there is ground in front of me I'm still learning the other things it can do, like Uconnect with your cell phone and voice recognition. (by the way I bought 2 microphones by mistake, I'll make you a deal so you can get your cell phone working)

Happy Friday
