I found a great local shop that does it all, I just dropped the car off and picked it up two days later. $1000 for all 5 (including the spare).

Default TuffAnt Rims and KO3’s


18in Kakadu’s w/ 265/70 KO3’s- yes they rub in access height, yes I was led astray and didn’t do my own homework. Need to research what, if anything, I might do to address that. TuffAnt Sliders were done last year and have already paid for themselves after a couple trails in Utah

I have coils with 18” rims. One of my OEM Goodyears (~23,000 miles) ran over a nail and the plug isn’t holding well; already replaced once. Rather than buy one new GY Adventure, I was thinking of KO3s in that size. Wondering if they will rub on coils, or just air at access height. Has anyone installed KO3 265/70R18 on coils yet?

Installed Toyo Open Country AT3 285/45/22 tires and black wheel lugs today. These tires look way better than the stock Continentals. I'll get 20" wheels at some point, this was the cheaper route.

I installed one of the aftermarket reverse lights. Install went fine. The only thing I didn’t love was how I had to stuff the wires back in. It didn’t seem like there was enough space for them and allow the access panel to clear. I’ll do the right one tomorrow.

I purchased the same kit. How long did it take you?

Maybe an hour for the side from start to finish. I took my time getting the access panel off since I didn’t want to break anything. Once I got one of the clips released and could see behind the panel I understood where everything else was which made it easier.

These lights make a huge difference at night when in reverse. The OEM reverse lights are a joke
