nice! Which brackets did you use? And if you don’t mind me asking, what power connector or control box? I’m debating the Garmin and just use Bluetooth.

Finished up the Side Brush Bars installation on the Defender. The brackets are welded to the Lucky8 Rock Sliders, the side brush bars are removable. They made the AU Bullbar super stout and follow the body lines very well. Just have to re-LineX the spot where I welded to the rock sliders.

I MacGyver’d my Phone Mount!
- Using my previously installed Bulletproof Phone Mount from my Jeep Gladiator
​​​​​​- Incorporated it with the Phone Mount I ordered from Amazon
​​​​​​- Used the clamp from the Amazon Mount
- “Jimmied” the attachment to mount the Ram Mount/Ball
- Presto…..just the way I like it!! 💯💯

So a couple of weeks ago I installed the proud rhino lift rods and SYA kit from lucky8. Yesterday I got my new tires, 35x11.5r18 Falken-wildpeak at4w.
the tires actual dimensions are 34.9" diameter and 11.9" wide. These are considered light truck tires but are only 6 ply so they shouldn't be as stiff. I did have to do some modifications to the wheel well. In the back of the front wheel well I removed the pinch weld. In the front I had to remove a metal tab that was just barely touching the tire. I have the expedition one front bumper. Some before and after pictures.
No lift, tuffant kimberley 18 with falken wildpeak at3w

Yep. Ralf Sarek's team did a great job with the design and install. The the winch is a new mod, but I've been running with the bumper with its larger single cooler for some time. Towed an Airstream over the Rockies a few times and it kept things plenty cool.
