Wheel next weekend you must.

I know one thing, with this crew (Lane, Trembley, KPM171, Mrmet1983, Hinrichs, Mikefishes, Napalm, NickJK+2, Tackerdown, JKmadness, Nubs, NateTJ, SeanB, Drakko, Ninja, Jiggawhatpolo, ConquestJeep, RyanJKUR, & BearJew!) the parking near our campsite is gonna be awesome!

ARB Rear Bumper & ARB attached tire carrier installed over the weekend.

Done!

Tailgate arm & stop assembly in place. This is a handy picture to have for anyone installing in the future.

ARB offers minimal help and no pix here, but I believe this is what the assembled tailgate bracket is supposed to look like for the JK.

Holes punched and filed. aka prepped for paint.

ARB 5750300 (tire carrier) - some assembly required.

Drilling, cutting, & trimming deff required... But it's on dammit! Tomorrow, I tackle the tire carrier.

Nothing says progress like washing metal shavings out of your hair!

17's on my feets, oh yeah! When shopping for new wheels, I started out by oohing and aahing at all the shiny things that were on the covers of my Jeep porn mags [cough]Quadratec Catalog[cough]. 'Man, those 20's are hot!' I thought to myself. And yeah, they look good now but with absolutely no...

Actually, I don't think you'll have a gap at all since your bumper rests on that cross member that the skid is attached to.

Personally, I wouldn't. Just toss 'em on a switch in the cab on some velcro. I run my fog lights almost all the time with my head lights, but if they were on the same switch as a set of Dually's I couldn't use them as often. I'm no electrician, but I'd be careful with that fog light wiring...

The Stock Bumper lives to fight another day After considering all possible courses of action with regards to my ARB Rear Bumper/Tire Carrier over the weekend, I ended up putting my factory bumper back on and deciding that perhaps the ARB rear bumper/tire carrier combo just isn't the right...

ARB, You go to hell and you die! (Use Mr. Garrison's voice here) Oh ARB, our relationship really is a complicated affair, isn't it? I really, really want to love your products but you make it difficult when 100% of them don't actually bloody fit like you claim they should! >:( My front...

New rear bumper! Tire carrier soon to follow. Squee!

Maybe a little bit overkill, but I like the sliding tray idea. I don't personally have it, but it looks great and functional. http://www.quadratec.com/products/96010_0105.htm Not cheap tho. Then again, neither is the fridge/freezer.

I shall call you day light! I've always liked the idea of having recovery lights both front and rear. While I don't do a lot of night wheelin', there are plenty of occasions where being able to see clearly behind you can be very helpful. It's for this reason that I agonized on a back bumper...

Air Up! (ARB CKMA12) Something I've always wanted in a Jeep but have always been a little leery of getting was on-board air. Simply b/c of the amount of space a full compressor takes up and the added weight. Lucky for me (not so much for my wallet!) I found an ARB High Output compressor kit...
