They're all like that. I'm used to it now though. From what I understand, the idea was to leave the gate handle more accessible with a large tire on the carrier.

Had a few extra minutes tonight to drink a beer so I started my fender trim. 1 rear done. Sorry for the shitty pictures. Had to fish my phone out of a catch pan full of gear oil the other day so it's all jacked up.

Finished off my fender trim. Looks much better in my opinion.
After cleaning up all the plastic shit all over my garage, this is the next project.

Thanks. I ordered it from Touchup Direct. They have just about every factory color out there.
Thanks! I have an Anvil 2dr and I was wondering where I could get some matching paint for stuff like that.

Yea no worries. If you're gonna do the rings like I did I would suggest 2 cans of color. I only got one and it was barely enough for two coats. One can of clear is fine though.

So it was a busy weekend of working on the Jeep and drinking beers but I made some more progress.
I was surprisingly okay with drilling holes in the body. Maybe the beer had something to do with it. I thought these would be easy to do solo but ended up calling a buddy to help. Couldn't clamp in enough places to be confident everything was lined up properly so it was nice to have an extra set of hands. And the Astro nutsert tool made things much easier. Thanks for the tip WAL.
Also installed a Switch Pros setup. This thing is pretty cool and doesn't hardly take up any space.
Routed switch panel wiring alongside the rear washer fluid line. I'll seal that up with RTV.
Figured this was as good of place as any to mount the switch panel....plus it was easy.
Next I mounted up some Rigid dually spots on the A-pillars and wired them in.
So here's how she sits now.
I have some Rigid dually floods that I'll install on the tire carrier for rear facing lights. EVO sliders should be here Tuesday so I'll hopefully have them on by this weekend. I'm thinking maybe the next mod will be a sport cage. Oh and I forgot, I also have a 10lb CO2 setup that should be here this week as well.

So in between honey-do's I managed to get my sliders painted up and burned on. These things are stout. Looking forward to beating the shit out of them. I'm in need of some sort of removable step for the wife so if you have any ideas, let me know. I've seen the stirrup but looking for something a little more rigid.
I also got the Rigid Dually floods hooked up on the tire carrier. These should come in handy on the trail as well as setting up camp and shit like that. They put out a ton of widespread light. And it's pretty cool that with the Switch Pro's I can turn the on and of via Bluetooth.
So now that sliders are back on I need to find some time to get down to Carnegie (our local 4x4 playground) to test everything out and check for any issues prior to the first spring trail run.

Thanks fellas. Yea the Evo stuff is nice and I have no regrets purchasing it. Looking at sport cages now and can't really decide between the Rockhard and PSC. Any comments about either?

Rockhard. Welds look like boogers but it is the best otherwise for sure. No squeaks, rattles etc.

Poison spider is made in China. Rockhard is made here.

Thanks. I'm leaning g towards the Rockhard based on research and reviews. Read about issues with the PSC not having the windshield support. But I thought PSC was manufactured in California?

It is still made in Banning, California. That's my only drawback to the PSC cage as well.

Gotcha. I'm assuming you've heard the same things such as noise, squeaking etc?

That is incorrect. Only thing still made in California is bumpers, for a short time longer.
