Well, looks like the build is done, I've had loads of fun, hit EJS this year, have had the Jeep perform flawlessly on a few trips, and overall I'm really happy with how it came together. Here's a few last pics, I'm probably going to put it up for sale soon and move on to some other toys for a...

Here's a pic of the gaskets!

I have a brand new set of lubelockers left over from my diff cover install. I couldn't wait to get the new covers on, and these were delayed in shipment. My loss is your gain. $30 shipped to the lower 48 states

Sold I have relocated my plate back to stock position, so I have a very nice condition setup for someone... Poison Spyder Tramp Stamp with license plate mount ORO brake/plate light with plug and a couple feet of wire (it's not full length, but there is plenty to work with) Poison Spyder blank...

Finally trimmed the fenders! I used a utility knife and masking tape for cutting, and a hacksaw for the reinforcement trimming. I laid out a pattern on one side, then used the trimmed piece to line up the cuts on the other side. Very simple, and it matches perfectly side to side. Needed a...

Forgot to include a pic.

A winch would probably look good on here. Hmmm.....

$75 shipped (within the lower 48) for a new set of shims for Method 105 beadlocks for FOUR wheels. Brand new, still in the box. These are required for 37's and larger on their 105's. Call Method with questions. They are about $35/wheel new + shipping... I swapped my Methods for Chamber...

Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these films. They are really awesome to see, and I'm sure this takes a tremendous amount of time to put together. Well done.

The final result...

I just painted the rings with Rustoleum primer and finishing with flat black paint. Before painting I hit them with 500 grit sandpaper and brake cleaner.

For the record, I talked to Method and they now have a shim kit (released a few weeks ago) for 37's and larger. The ring was coning and this resulted in snapping bolts. Today I'm putting my ATX's on, gonna go with black rings. You guys made some great suggestions above! Thanks! For the...

It's balmy here. Jeep is plugged in out in the driveway. On my '12 the block heater cord was bundled up behind the driver side headlight. With a bit of a push I was able to get it in front of the radiator (off to the side). Easy access!

What color should I paint the beadlock rings on the new ATX Chamber pro's? Was thinking a flat red....any other pics or ideas out there?
