I have other pics, but none with the recent changes made to my jeep. I'm going wheeling this weekend, so I may get some more up to date pics.
I changed my factory Alpine soundbar speakers to Infinity Kappa 6.5 inch two way speakers. Tomorrow I'm going to change the dash setup to Infinity Kappa 6.5 inch component speakers. Then on to the subwoofer. I'll post pics soon.
oil change. tire rotation. Went with the 5 tire change. I dont think ill be keeping the duratracs after this round of tires.
Good for you! I can't believe the number of people that purchase 5 tires and choose not to rotate in the 5th. Man, your tires would last 20% longer if you did, and the real kicker... how many times have you blown a tire, put the spare on and then brought your blown tire in to be patched only to find the puncture was in the sidewall and can't be repaired. THEN, the wonderful news "you know, you can't drive with one brand new tire on one side of the vehicle only, you have to purchase a new spare and ANOTHER new tire to put on the other side so your tires rotate at the same speed." And then you end up purchasing two new tires. That's a total of 7 tires versus 6, and you lost out on an extra 20% tread life. Dumb, dumb, dumb. To all you Jeepers out there, for the love of everything good in this world, rotate in your spare. Unfortunately for me, the previous owner didn't rotate in the spare and now I'm too far down the road of tire wear to rotate it in because the overall diameter of the tire is too big compared to the other four.Quote:

I then used door trim molding around the center piece to clean it up even more. My light is on a switch for now.
This is just a temporary mod until I purchase an aftermarket tire carrier. I was hearing a loud rattle from the area of the tailgate/ tire carrier but I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. To be on the safe side I decided to just remove it for now. My center tailgate vent has pretty much deteriorated and the flaps were missing. I will also make an upside down U-shaped seal that is open on the bottom to still allow the vent to function as intended and still keep out the rain.
I can throw the spare in the back as soon as I find some way to bolt it down. The good thing is that I can use my rear cargo cover and it hides the spare from view. Good thing the tires are Duratracs. I don't think a true 35 would actually fit while laying down.
I also used Nite Shadez to blackout the rear tail light lenses.

On a side note, if you look closely at the pic and view just below the tailgate on the right side (straight below the right tire bumper) you can see a discolored spot on the paint. This appears to be from the factory exhaust that has caused this over time. My Jeep is an 2007. Has anyone else noticed this on your Jeeps? I will probably be going with a Magnaflow Cat-Back system with a rear axle dump in the future. Luckily This spot will not be seen so easily with a new rear bumper.
well done. I suggest JCR dagger for the new rear bumper. Let us know what you end up with.Quote:

JCR is the bumper I am looking at. I like the one that requires the rear crossmember to be cut off so it sits further under the tub. I also like the Poison Spyder BFH rear bumper but there is no receiver hitch. I'm seriously considering the EVO Tire Carrier.
You just put those on a few months ago!Quote:
