Got the spare tire mounted and the carrier adjusted. Turned out well. Darn tire is heavy! To my surprise, the winch delivered already. Looks like I mounted the front bumper perfectly. The winch fit and is just barely touching the grill. Glad I didn't push it back any further. Lastly, the...

Was able to work on the Jeep again tonight. Wanting to run a spare tire I knew I needed to upgrade the tire carrier. I opted for this Cavfab Elite Series model. Installation was pretty straight forward. I didn't have time to throw one of the tires up there yet. I may have to do some...

If I choose to drill different holes, I can slide the bumper back even further. To the point where I would need to cut my grill for a winch to fit. I don't want to do that though. I hoped to have set it back to where the winch will barely fit without trimming. Time will tell. Unfortunately...

Finally had some time to get some work done last night. I finished cutting the frame caps and crash bar off. I tried to sit the new bumper in place, but the sway bar actuator was in the way. I forgot that I remembered reading that it needed flipped to fit. I had already purchased a Curry...

Time to turn my attention to the front. Again, I really like the factory front bumper. It's the OEM steel 10a that can be modified to fit a winch, but I opted for an aftermarket replacement instead. The previous owner had pushed in one of the front plastic pieces. I may try repairing it...

I have this listed as one of my future upgrades. Looking forward to the day I pull the trigger.

Wow, what a build. FYI: The flares are Genright. Here is a link to the build. https://rebeloffroad.com/blog/command-vehicle-built-by-rebel-off-road/

These flares are aluminum. I was between Poison Spyder, Genright, Metalcloak, and Nemesis. I am wanting to keep most addons down in weight, so I knew I wanted aluminum. I have Metalcloak on my TJ and Poison Spyder and similar designs seem a lot more prevalent. The Nemesis flares won out. I...

With the dovetail rear fender flares I knew I wasn't going to like how the stock rear bumper stuck out past the sides. It's a shame because I really like the look of the stock bumper. I ended up purchasing a VKS rear bumper to replace it. This allowed me to retain my factory hitch. I had a...

Took the Nemesis flares to a local body shop. They color matched them for me. Picked them up a couple days ago. Finished the install last night. Now my current tires look really small. I will also address the fender well area in the future. I prefer black inside my fender wells. I also...

I had some more parts show up this weekend! Nemesis Industries Odyssey front fenders, Notorious Dovetail rear fenders, and their Titan Tub Armor as well. Looks like I need to start getting to work. I have a busy week ahead, but I'm hoping to get these fenders installed by the weekend. I'll...

Looks nice. I like those wheels on your rig!

I agree Chris. I left my Metalcloak stuff on my TJ gold. It eventually gets a little dingy looking. Plus I wanted to keep the look of my suspension understated. Black is perfect and it will be easy to touch up when needed.

I opened up the boxes to the Metalcloak lift this weekend. I figured I would give some of the components a little more protection. I sprayed them with some black paint. I'm guessing I'm still a couple months away from having this put on, but I figured I would get them prepared.

Thanks, I recently put some new wheels and tires on the TJ since that picture. Went with 17"x9" Vision Manx beadlock wheels with some Patagonia 37"x12.5" tires.

Nice install. Definitely provides more light. I like it.

I got into this Jeep craze a few years ago and have been building up a 2001 TJ Sport since buying it. My wife and I love our TJ, but we are looking to head out West on some journeys in the future. We both thought an upgrade with more storage, air conditioning, and a few less miles on the...

I ordered the CavFab tire carrier yesterday. I don't have any experience with one, or know anybody else that has one. Just throwing it out there as another possibility to research.

Those look to be the Nemesis Industries fenders. I'm wanting to buy those for my build. Those look great. What lift and tire size are you running? Nice build.
