put my tire on top again, temporary, as i am really wanting to get a rear bumper/tire carrier
took an angle grinder and cut some pieces off my old one that used stock supports

screwed whatever the hell this is on the threaded piece. it works
thats all that matters

Met up with COSXJFAN, kyle, from south springs to trim up rear fenders. almost broke a stud taking the rear tires off!!! couldnt do it hahaha
so safe to say a new set up studs in the rear are necessary, doing that soon.
instead of rear fender triming, we just yanked off the rear sway bar.
ill get pics up when my internet isnt being a @#$%$%6

LOLZ. we have a massive rock in our backyard. Its for 33s or 35s though. Thats how a jeeper tells how big a rock is haha. the size tire it take to flex with it.
thats only with the fronts disconnected, and that was a while ago. didnt see a difference with taking the rear off though...

Broke some studs on the rear wheel, going up to a buddys shop in denver to get it fixed, plus cleaning up some of the wiring from my lights on top.
