Tiny LED upgrade to the rear of the Rebel last night. I love the 3 marker lights on the TRX so I decided to make my own with some bolt lights. They match my 3rd brake light too!

This cost me around $25 so the wife was coolwith another one of my “pointless truck projects.”

Yeah, it all depends on load rating and weight for sure then. Part of me wants to go for 35's, but I drive 25-30k miles a year so my MPG's will affect me a ton in a year. I'll probably stick to 33's that's not an E load rating..

what tire do you have?

285/60r20 falkens on the Laramie sport rims. I do believe the next tire will be a true 34. The price is about the same.

You wouldn’t happen to be in the atlanta area are you? If so, wondering where you got your windshield tinted as I am getting mine replaced soon and will have to tint my new one.
Contact Drew at Precision Window Tinting. He is located in Alpharetta area and he has done my windshield and all of my windows. He does the work himself so he makes sure it’s done right.

Thank you. I’ll give him a shout. It shows Cumming but I assume that’s the right one

SWAY bar on my list of things to do, including Catch Can and 5" tips. But alas, $$$$ got to go to more important things now then to stuff on truck that can wait.

Installed medium smoke tint from Luxe for the mirror turn signal lights. One thing that's bothered me on my night edition was the white/clear lens on the mirrors.

I was trying to go around the big puddle behind the Rebel in the last photo. Lesson learned and I had a blast!

Did you have any damage underneath the vehicle? at least a Jeep product pulled you out, it would have been embarrassing if it were a ford.

Installed my Hellwig rear swaybar this morning. Made a huge difference in handling. I started off in the hardest setting and moved it to the softest after a 30 min drive. So far liking the softest setting, but I might try the middle setting to see how that feels. Money well spent for sure though.
Can we get a picture of your rear Hellwig swap bar installed?

Did some re-wiring on the front LEDs and wrapped the headlights with Luxe light gloss.

I had leftover vinyl so I did the grille applique (I think that's what it's called). I used 3 pieces to accent the contour lines.

Can I ask why such a large Bull Bar, are you plowing through woods or knocking down cows or bumping down illegal aliens running over the border ?

I had my local muffler shop make me a Helmholtz Resonator (J-Pipe) to cut out some of the drone from my MBRP XP muffler. It seems to work pretty well. I'd say, it cuts about 60-70 percent of the drone at 1500-1600 RPM. I might have made the wrong calculations in the length (probably should have went with 39-40''). Oh well. It was just an experiment.


108 Hz @ ~1600 RPM, average operating temp at 250. Roughly 37-38''.

I had him make it 37.5''. It's definitely better than it was. It doesn't buzz in my head so bad. LOL.

3rd picture is after he sprayed high temp paint on the welds to prevent corrosion.
Nice job.
I'm surprised no one undercoats their vehicles these days like they used to do back in the day. Unless you don't live in New England and have to deal with Snow and Rock Salt. I had mine under coated.

MUDDING with that low frame, and decent tires, but no like 35's, 37's with a good lift, recipe for disaster, roflmao. U braver than this BOIRD, lol. BUT U had fun, and hopefully no damage, ALL GOOD.
