What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

[mikeJKUR]

I retired my OEM fenders and installed a set of Metalcloak Overland fenders, front and back. The fit and finish is excellent and I'm very happy with the final result, but the install was not a casual undertaking. It was a solid 9 hrs of labor, across two days for me and my jeep buddy. I owe him big time! These new fenders pave the way for a 2.5" lift and a new wheel/tire combo next year.

Those look great. Got shot showing the whole Jeep? Are you still running stock tires?

Ram mount bar installed

I built and installed my Ram mount dash bar. All Aluminum, sturdy as can be. Now I just need to pick up a couple "Handle bar" style mounts.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the device mounted to the extreme left?

I think it's a universal phone holder from Ram.

It's a Ram Mount X Grip Mount. I use one with a suction mount to attach my portly Sony Xperia Z Ultra phone to my windshield. Works quite well. Worth the cost of admission.

Looks great! I'm trying to figure out how to make one of these work in the XJ. Does it use the dash bolt locations?

Are you getting some reflection off the shiny hood?
Wouldn't that limit you forward night vision?

With almost any hood you'll get glare that's bothersome to the eyes. However, depending on the lights, still putting more light down the road allowing you to see further than you would without the lights.

Well I was just wondering since I've had auxiliary lighting on most of my vehicles but never that close to the hood, looks good though...
With the amount of snow we get here close to the Rockies you would have to constantly stop and clean them off.
