View attachment 37659 Latest modification has been to add AEV bumper and tire carrier with fuel caddy. So now I can hold over four gallons of water in bumper tanks and ten gallons of fuel behind spare tire.

Looking good man! That is an awesome plate too. I have still been trying to pick one out for my jeep.

Might want to look at 285/75r17 (34x11.50r17) tires as well. The KO2 runs extremely small.

Great Looking Rig and those Pintlers look perfect! I'm running the AEV 2.5XT lift and it's been great so far. My next steps are tires when the stock ones wear out (currently have 23k on them). I've been all over the map trying to decide what size to move to, at one time I was also looking at KO2 34x10.5x17, but I think I have settled on the 285/75-17 size most likely KO2's, which weigh in at 60.89. I'm hoping this will run fine with my 4.10 gearing, as I'm not going to re-gear. One thing I have noticed is no one is carrying the KO2 in 285/75-17 online (is it new?), I've only seen it listed on BFG spec sheet.

I have only seen the 285/75-17 on the BF Goodrich site for the KO2’s. According to the spec sheet these get you 4/10ths of an inch in diameter over the 34x10.5-17 inch tires which are six pounds lighter than the larger 285s. I’m running 3.73 gears with auto trans and would rather not regear. My son in law is running the 35x12.5/17 KO2s with 3.73 gearing and his performance isn’t too bad. I’m also looking to go lower on weight where I can to reduce stress on the machine. I really have only had one situation where original equipment tires weren’t adequate and that was because they were MT rather than AT.
