Looks good. You only need the painted fender and you have created a 4dr version of the yellow 2dr posted earlier.

Very nice, I like the contrast with the gray fenders, rather than body-color.

Rig is going to probably go down in height with bumpers, winch and skids... and the suspension will probably settle more
I was torn on the color matched fenders... it looks amazing depending on the color, but I wanted more black contrasts. Plus the plastic won't get as beaten up when I wheel

Yeah I don't think one looks better than the other really. Which as much black accents you have on it it flows really well.
That is some excellent garage clearance.

So it's been 5 weeks since I placed the order. They said they were still catching up to their black friday orders and they're hiring more staff to improve turn around times. Hopefully it won't take another two months

A few updates:
Swapped out my Falcon 2.1s for 3.3s (adjustable reservoir shocks)
Painted and installed my Motobilt diff covers
Installed Rockhard LCA skids
Installed my new front bumper and skid, still need to finish installing my winch rope
More skids to be installed for my first wheeling trip at the end of the month.

Looking good. Hasn't taken you long to build another beast of a Jeep.

Went camping over Father's Day weekend, did some hiking at Seneca Rocks in WV.
My rear bumper/tire carrier finally finished and shipped. Slowly waiting for it to make its way from Utah.
One happy achievement was Jeep sharing one of my IG pics on their account -

Looking good. Can't wait to see the new rear bumper tire carrier once it arrives.
That is cool getting Jeep to reshare your picture.

Thanks, night and day. A lot of lessons learned from the JK when buying this JL. Just sucks with the long wait/limited selection and higher prices on mods. Going to beef up the steering after I install the bumper.
How's your build going?

Thanks, it's a real project but my wife hasn't left me yet so that's a plus.
Love cruising around in the Jeep but wish we had more trails/rocks, sucks to not really be able to use it. I know a couple of the guys from a local group are heading up to Windrock but I really wanted to get some flooring done.
Really, really love yours.

That's my fear, there are a few bumpers on the market that do run into this problem. Talked to Expedition One and they said that it should work for up to a 40" tire. I can still move the tire position up a little more, but also re-arrange the sensor brackets to help with the false positives. Just a pain that I might have to uninstall the carrier and bumper to install/test the sensors
Yup, nice, enjoy OBX

Have you thought of those ring third brake lights I have seen everyone running lately? The ones that go inside the spare.

They have a prototype that has the license plate, third brake light and back up camera together. Waiting to see how it looks.
