I run a set of 33" BFG KO2's on my JKU. Haven't had any problems with them yet though I'm approaching the end of their life. Been looking into a set of 35" KO2s or KM2s (if I can afford them). Always had BFG's but I've been reading into the Cooper Discoverer STT Pros and might make the switch...
First I just have to say I love your rig! Your build looks great! I plan on following your design by getting the ARB1250 awning for the rear of the vehicle. Thanks for all of your input. I was thinking about adding a RTT but considering the weight needed to be added to the top of the vehicle...
Thank you all for the advice and input! Much appreciated! Will post images of install once complete (still waiting on a new awning considering the first one I ordered got damaged in shipping and waiting for replacement model)
Look forward to see y'all on the trail,
Alex
Yeah after reading all of your responses and some serious thinking, the drivers side seems to be the best option. Going to plan on redistributing weight around the rig to its not too heavy on one side. Thanks for the input!
I was considering weight distribution too. Most of the time I offroad/overland solo and I don't want all of the weight concentrated on the driver side but the times I do bring family and friends we stay on the drivers side due to the flow of my set up mostly influenced by the tailgate on my JKU...
So far I have the single awning so I can't double shade like you. So far the side I prefer to use is the driver side (left) simply because the tailgate on my JKU opens to the from left to right (hinges on the passenger side of vehicle). Thanks for the advice and input!

I agree with Dan and Jen Nevada. If you still have the stock rear bumper you can easily convert it into a water reservoir for miscellaneous uses and keep a disposable bottle for drinking water.

Hey everybody I was hoping I could get some outside opinions on this matter. I bought an ARB Awning last week and I just got notified that it is ready for pick up today. Now I'm faced with an issue, which side to mount it on my rig. I have considered the pros and cons of each side but it's...
