    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Finally got these new lights mounted and wired up. I forgot what a pain wiring is. Made me rethink my OBA plans. I should probably go with something plug and play. We're heading to Death Valley this weekend to check out the #SuperBloom. First trip out with the new sleeping pads/bags, FauxTrax...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    My album is shared. I don't understand what it's doing. If I go into the editor and inspect source and find the file url, that works. I can never get the direct upload to work. And I used the Google editting tools a lot. Really bummed they're gone. The issue was that they only worked with...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Thanks!. If the foglights are any indication, my bumpers are from 2014. It had the updated cut out per Maximus-3's instructions. But it still required a good deal of cutting. Honestly I'd rather if have been the earlier version that you can cut out with a 1.75" hole saw. My cut is terrible...

    Anyone been to Death Valley recently? I'm considering getting out there to check out these wild flowers.

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I was supposed to go to Anza Borrego this weekend, but everyone in my 4x4 group (formerly a Land Cruiser group) bailed except for the two local guys. So I too bailed to stay home and finish up all these half finished Jeep projects. I use Socal Tear Drops 5lb propane tank bracket and some...

    FS: Rock Hard Winch Mount for OEM stock JK Wrangler bumper - $100 - Santa Monica

    I used this Rock Hard winch mount bumper for a few months but have switched bumpers. This mount works amazingly well and is very stout. I imagine it'd work with any bumper that retains the OEM tow hooks and allows access to the frame rail pockets. It has some mud on it. But otherwise is in...

    The Big O JKUR build thread

    Agreed. Those look much more proportional with your lift. Although I'm running stock 32s on an AEV 2.5 (3") lift. So mine looks like your before. I'm curious to hear how it affects your gearing. You know that I like our stock wheels too. But I have to agree, the new onyx wheels look way better...

    The Big O JKUR build thread

    Can you post a side shot of each of you have it? I'm curious about this myself. The proportions of the 37s are better too. Tall and thinner looking. A lot of the 35x12.5s look too marshmallows for me. Glad you didn't give up on your jeep yet. Hopefully these will get some good use!

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    I have a meet up overnight trip down to Anza Borrego this weekend to meet up with my off road club. But the Jeep is going to be missing a lot. I haven't had a chance to install the freshly painted winch into the new bumper. Or wire up the new lights. I could install the new lights but that seems...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Yeah. I'm going to run a tap through them too. A couple are mangling the bolts. I'm impressed with the OEM engineering. I'm used to installing super heavy welded plate steel bumpers. Each of these things only weigha about 25lbs more than the plastic factory bumper it replaced. Mopar steel...

    "Bruce" the 2014 Jeep JKUR Build Thread

    Thanks guys. This all started because I got a set of these 7" ARB style LED lights. I was trying to mount them to my winch fairlead but it looked kind of goofy. And my winch line was getting faded. The Maximus 3 winch plate and light brackets show up tomorrow. The aluminum on my winch is...

    2013 Toyota 4Runner, Equipt Edition Build

    True. Also, Paul tends to build his trucks in a very overland-centric-style befitting of the 200's larger footprint and payload. And I'm sure he misses his 100 ;)

    2013 Toyota 4Runner, Equipt Edition Build

    It seems like yesterday that I was second in line to buy your 100. I guess I've done 2 builds since then also. My guess is Paul is getting a 200 or a new Tacoma.

    FS: New KD Fabworks Fairlead Light Mount - $35 - Santa Monica

    Fixed. Google is really making it hard to use their photo service now a days.

    FS: New KD Fabworks Fairlead Light Mount - $35 - Santa Monica

    I got this fairlead light mount because it's one of the few that allows the lights to be mounted farther apart than the 10" fairlead mounting bolts. I bought a new bumper this weekend and no longer need this. It's never been used or installed. Still in the box. Save yourself some tax and...
