Preordered a set of tail light housings from JCR that I plan to get powder coated to match everything else that I have already powder coated. Also shopping around for smoked out corner markers and turn signals.

Installed rock rails before i deployed, now i got a few months to wait and find more stuff for it. So far i plan to get a dirtbound mojave front bumper, and a set of bushwacker flat flares. the bumper is going to get powder coated to match everything else, and I'm still on the fence about possibly painting the flares to match as well.

I'm looking for a set of Lebaron hood vents if anyone out there happens to have a set, or know someone who has a set and is willing to part with them for a reasonable price.

I have my own garage now, and I don't plan to order that much stuff this time. How's the TDI treating you?

What's the lift and tire size?

Are you running adapters for the wheels? They look like they stick out. I have the same wheels I'll be using soon.

It's a 3.5 inch super ride lift from rubicon express. The tires are 255/85r16 BFG MT's I'm running spacers, not adapters cause the lug pattern is the same. I think they're like 1.5 inch spacers.

Ok thanks.

I call them adapters since you bolt wheels on to them, even though the pattern is the same. Spacers are 'loosing' material, which I would never run without longer wheel studs.

How does it ride with the lift?

TDI is doing great, still feels odd to be able to get up to 500 miles on a tank. Still leaking quite a bit, just ordered a valve cover gasket.

Glad i went with the super ride set up from RE, isn't much different from stock ride quality wise. Only two issues i have are tire rub and i haven't done the sye and shims yet so I've noticed drive shaft vibes when i get on the skinny pedal but nothing terribly objectionable I still plan to fix it regardless.
