Btw, I am VERY impressed with these Bridgestone Dueler AT2s so far. They are very quiet, they seem to absorb rough patches a little, and they grip like a ****!!

I really like the look of the tread pattern, too!

And quiet in a JK actually means something...

Does your exhaust manage to mask the sound of the 3.6 howling under load, lol?

Actually, a great motor for what's intended. Torquey for weight and the JK will never be a dragster.

Lol!

The Magnaflow did add a nice rumble and the Mopar cai enhanced that sound even more. It actually sounds really good, not at all like a V6 in a mini van.

I got some better pics today... I think.

Noting exciting. Just slapped a tow hitch on the Jeep. Curt makes the best hitches, and they are Made in the USA! I like how flush it is with the bumper... :baby:


Last night, as I was lying under the Jeep bolting up the hitch I dropped one of the massive bolts and it hit my eye and gave me a black eye... :boxed:
That is EXACTLY how I was hoping to go to my daughters school this morning for the Father's Day celebration! :idiot:

I love seeing the JK builds. Probably what I miss most about having my jeep. Genright makes a whole line of aluminum bumpers, flares, and armor that you can leave in the natural brushed color. It would look awesome with your paint. And if you are interested in a company that thinks a little differently Metalcloak makes pretty awesome stuff.

Thanks for the tips, I'll go browse those company's sites... Actually, off and on I have been looking at bumpers, because I will replace the factory ones at some point for sure.

Hey man longtime, sad to hear you let your truck go! I did the same in Jan 16. I upgraded to to a 15 Ram 2500 for all my toys. Hard letting the street truck go! Every time a little ricer pulls up next to me at a street light I kick myself! On to the Jeep huh? I'll have to check your thread and see what you're working with.
