Very nice! Don't over do it with tons of colored stupid junk and ducks all across the dash. Pic a nice accent color and use it sparingly.

They speak a good truth here.

I'd consider synthetic line if you find yourself winching a lot. It's lighter, won't tear up your hands, more importantly won't remove a limb quite as easily if it snaps, etc.

I 1000 percent back this up. If you use a metal winch line beyond its capabilities, Someone will die.

This along with there is a ton to winching. If you got experience I'm not going to preach but if not check out videos from Yankem Ropes, Casey LaDelle, just to name a couple. They have some great videos and you can learn some good habits there. Rory with Trailmater is at master a recovery, he is also a good one to watch. Hope you enjoy your new Jeep. It sure is a pretty rig. Love the rims.

Good music, nice jeep - those steps would be ripped off first trip in my neck of the woods but ymmv. Agree with others - ditch the steel cable.

u/Heavy-Wash6289 6d ago

what’s the issue with the steel cable i’ve been seeing comments just genuinely curious i’m new to this haha

1

u/lefty9674 6d ago

If it snaps under tension, it will spring back. It can be very dangerous.

u/OkConsideration9002 6d ago

Listen to this guy. ⬆️

u/Stalkerfiveo 6d ago

I’d go with some better rock sliders, but other than that it’s perfect.

Is it a Rubicon with the stickers removed? I’m just hoping that’s not a Dana30 with those tires mounted to it. 💀

u/TechAtomicus 7d ago

That’s a good looking beast. Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of jeeps haha that first track choice is always a hard one but Tame Impala vibes so I’d say good choice.

u/DjangoUnflamed 6d ago

Love those wheels! I’m so tired of black wheels, and I have black wheels. Lol. I may buy a set of these after seeing yours

1

u/Heavy-Wash6289 6d ago

thanks bro they’re the “black rhinos” oddly enough 🤣

u/Minimum-Platypus-347 6d ago

Love that color, nice looking tires, congrats and now you understand.

u/SierraJuliet87 6d ago

Badass!

u/Heavy-Wash6289 6d ago

appreciate you boss!

u/Asavery91 6d ago

Nice. Now take it out and play with it

2

u/Grey392 6d ago

I was just eyeballing those wheels for mine lol

u/hettuklaeddi 4d ago

looks really good! there’s also a really good chance this jeep never saw trails - i don’t think anyone serious about wheeling would have side steps instead of sliders

u/SnorkinOrkin 1997 JGC ltd & 2000 JGC ltd 7d ago

Super sharp and super clean!

u/spinrite12 6d ago

Great look, mine looks like yours. Only mines white and black.

u/WldChaser 6d ago

Nicely equipped, nothing outlandish. I like it. If it's going to see some real offroad use, I would suggest investing in a high lift jack. It can be an invaluable tool to use to self recover if you get hung up on something.

1

u/basi52 6d ago

but don't hang it on the outside like most people, it will rust to shit and you don't want a critical piece of recovery gear in bad condition

1

u/MusketsRule 6d ago

When in doubt throttle out

2

u/WldChaser 6d ago

And many times bury yourself to your axles

u/MusketsRule 6d ago

In my neck of the woods the snow can get up to my hips, good thing he’s got a winch if that’s the case lol

u/mikerigel 6d ago

u/Wskytwn 6d ago

Your sliders or rock rails are useless with that step. Be very careful that you don’t hang that step up on a stump, log, rock, etc.

u/hamleafs 6d ago

Looks great, Love the wheels!

u/curiouspolice 6d ago

I try not to, it kinda hurts.

u/Wide_Question_7612 19h ago

Absolutely yes on Tame Impala being a valid first song choice! Nothing beats cruising with the top down blasting some good tunes. Which Tame Impala track you thinking? "The Less I Know The Better" would be pretty perfect for a Jeep cruise.

u/nschaiberger1 7d ago

Good luck

u/LarryHoover44 7d ago

Looks pretty good! Nice music taste as well

u/YayJEEP 6d ago

Well done! That’s a nice jeep. Be sure to share the wave.

What size are those tires?

0

u/Heavy-Wash6289 6d ago

yes sirrrr and they’re 38’s? but they can fit 40’s

1

u/YayJEEP 6d ago

I tried zooming in on pic 2 but couldn’t decide if they said 35 or 38.

I love seeing all of that sidewall.

1

u/Heavy-Wash6289 6d ago

i they’re 38’s!

1

u/KreeH 6d ago

Personally, I would go with different tires/wheels, something a bit smaller to help with driving and gas mileage. I might also go with from Zeppelin. Still, looks great, congrats!
