    Installed the factory tow hitch. I will replace it when needed, for now, it does what I need it to do.

    Ok guys, since one of my tires split I put the spare on (new as of 7-8 yrs ago). Full tread.

    Question is, do you like the black rim (camo now but will b black), or the aluminum rim?

    OR,

    Maybe paint the Alum rim w/green in the circles :) Hum.

    P.S. I still have to build my rock guards and paint the doors.

    I've always liked aluminum. Had old Western Hurricanes on my CJ from about a year after I got it, then went to aluminum beadlocks about 10 years ago.

    It will depend on how hard you use them. If you catch a rock and bend the wheel, aluminum will crack, and you're out of commission. A steel wheel you can usually beat back into shape with a hammer.

    OK, doors painted and the color needs to fad a little to match the tub. Still wet.

    I will put the military info on the Jeep (division/company etc) in black and w/the contrast of the OD it should look pretty good.











    Don't mind the flash.

    I mounted two 20mm ammo cans for more storage. Welded a chain link to the case so I can lock it.
