Glad to get to this point, good amount of work but was hoping to make it unique.

do you have the 3rd brake camera hooked up?

Is this the STX? if so, how did you install the front recovery points?

also just curious what your mod list is

 

[ATestBishop]

The Morimoto led 3rd brake was installed custom because I got a deal on the camera version. The camera portion is plugged/sealed with a decorated flush rubber plug that worked well. The shackles are basically a modified Rough Country shackle kit for 5g Rangers that uses different rings than comes with the kit due to another open box kit deal... Basically a few of the proper combo of washers gets it mounted perfectly flush to the STX 6G. I'll send you a DM of the mod list so far.

What did you use to fill the screw holes in the front "bumper" where someone screwed in a license plate? The dealer screwed a plate holder onto mine but I took it off (not required here) and was pissed about the ugly screw holes. Your solution is somewhat palatable.

Thank you, yes I used what I had at hand and was the best I could come up with. I'm a long time cyclist so those are a pair of rubber handlebar end plugs that perfectly fit where the screws were. Being that there are countless designs of the plugs it's just a matter of finding a suitable pair

Looks good!

And nice choice with the Ray's wheels

Any issues adding the rear bed steps to an STX?

 

[ATestBishop]

Thanks, appreciate it. Yeah found a deal on them and the plus 20mm offset is looking good with the 8" wheel width. Of some note the stock GY Wrangler was at ~30" on ground at stock 38psi, the Bridgestone Dueler is at ~31.5" same pressure on ground and I'm not sure of why less compression, perhaps the rim width or tire compound/construction. No issues with steps other than it's a supply your own frame bolt situation total of (8)10mmx25mm length if I recall, which I had and generic made the metal fit and finish was borderline, the plastic was good. I used different/better hardware to mount the step pads as well for them
