Where did you get the 1941 decal? Looks really good...

Thanks for the feedback! I'm waiting on the low bull bar option from Roam. I like the simplicity and the price is spot on! They're saying the end of the month. You ended up with a Smitty winch, correct? Did you have to mount the control pack on the top of the bumper or is that how it sits? Wondering about the fit of a ZEON
I'm intrigued by the air up/down system that you built. Did you mount a compressor in the jeep or is it portable?
The Mistress is looking great!
Nice, simple system. I was secretly hoping you had an ingenious mounting system on the JL... Portable makes perfect sense, though. Thanks again!Yes, I have the 12,000 pound Smittybilt x20 winch. My wife was being nice and ordered it for me for my birthday as a surprise. It had very good rating on Amazon, so I kept it. The control pack is mounted on top of the bumper.
I built an air hose that airs up and down all four tires at the same time. When all was said and done, I could have bought the air hose built for about the same price. I may have saved 20 bucks......maybe. It looks good and functions as it should.
I like that it will balance out the tires to be the same pressure. The compressor is a Viair 400P-RV and is portable. I have ATVs and SxS also so I wanted a compressor that I could take with us in the motorhome if the Jeep stayed home. It is a full kit and has 60 feet of air hose also.
Pulled the top off, pulled the doors off. Added the tube doors and the off road mirrors. It is finally getting into the 60 degree weather. So the summer dress is on the Mistress. It is not my DD so on the cold days and wet days, that will still be here in Michigan on and off for another month, the Mistress will stay inside.
I like the summer look.
Looks really good. What tube doors are those? They look sharp.
The doors are from Motor City Aftermarket. They fit tight and there is no rattle or shake going down the road. The great thing is I won them on a Facebook drawing. So that make them even better. Motor City Aftermarket also makes parts for ARMY tanks. Their stuff is nice. I also got the mirrors from them.
I'm curious how your Jeep worked with the 37's before the lift? Any rubbing on while on the street? What are the specs on your wheels, particularly how much offset?
They were fine on the street. They would rub a little if I turned into a steep driveway, but normal driving they were fine. I could not off road at all.. Any flexing caused rubbing, but hey I was waiting for the lift to come in and for the weather to not be freezing. No big deal for me as it is not a daily driver.
The wheels are an ATX Slabs with 3.5 of offset. I kinda fucked up. I should have 4.5 of offset. The wheels make the tires stick out of the fenders and they look cool, but everytime there is even a little bit of water on the road, ith throws grim all down the side of the Jeep. When off roading, it throws mud, sand, water, whatever all over the windows, mirrors, hood, windshield, everywhere, but hey its a JEEP.
The wheels make the Jeep two inches wider. Whats two inches......Makes it tight to get it into the garage, but hey I can drive. The biggest problem is I bought an aluminum trailer to put the JLUR on. I plan on towing the Jeep on the trailer behind our motorhome The Jeep is about two inches to wide now to fit between the fenders on the trailer. So I have to take off a fender to load or unload the Jeep. That sucks. The trailer fenders are made to be easily removed, but it is still a step that if I could have avoided if I would have ordered the wheels with 4.5 of offset.
