While the wheels were off I re-platidipped them, I like them so I have no reason to upgrade the wheels yet. Also since lifting it there is minimal rubbing, it happens at weird times.

Up next is a Snorkel from exit offroad, and the installation of the LFD rear bumper that is sitting in the garage for almost a year.

I ordered Sliders from Explorer Overland, so I can finally get rid of the predator bars.

I also ordered some power grids to attach a 1st aid kit to and some other things like a flashlight and a axe. there is a group buy if anyone is interested from here

We also plasti dipped the emblems I like the thought of the overlay but dipping it was easy.

Things are coming along nicely, I wish I could find someone to weld a Coastal front bumper for me. I really wanted their front and rear but the local fab shop wanted almost 2k to weld it.

is your radio physically mounted to something? it sorta looks like it is just laying there under the seat.

As for right now it's not in I am building a ram mount for the tablet and the ham radio face.

So I added a snorkel, the Dobinson one, it was a pain in the ass the hole near the a arm didn't line up after everything was drilled and measured 3 times. but everything is on now and I am just waiting for a few clips to show up so I can put the fender liner back together. I have a Prinsu Rack showing up tomorrow, and we ordered a SSO hybrid bumper, and our 1st Warn VR EVO 10 winch.

Next week we will be ordering a Extreme LED 30 inch light bar for the bumper and I think we are done for a little while, until Rotopax has some tanks in stock and maybe the hi clearance stage 2 from SSO and a rear camera relocator. When we bought this thing it was garbage, and I mean that because it was at the dealer every week getting something fixed and is still going back here and there for odd things like the door locks and fuel pump recall. But I think it is finally coming together, and I am starting to like it. I jsut wish I could find a shop to do an alignment where I am not in oncoming traffic the second I take my hand off the wheel for 3 seconds.

How have the Geolander MTs been in the rain?

When they were brand spanking new they were okay maybe it was a coat of something on them, now I wouldn't want anything else. I live on the Gulf here in AL and there is tons of water from the sky or when mother nature decides to bring the Gulf on land a little and these tires have been the best. My plan though is to get General Grabbers X3's for the wifes Jeep and see which is better. The Yoko's come with a 45k warranty even though they are dedicated mud tires.
