Well thanks man. It took forever but turned out great. I incorporated the lowers bc I didn't wana cut and fold them. I don't like that look. And I would have to cut my bushwackers, I didn't want to do that. Let me know if you need me to answer any questions or help ya out.

Post up A pic of you jeep lol

but u had to trim it down to get it under where the gas lines go through the frame right? i had mine sort of slope down, i feel they are just as strong

Have you looked into angling your tire mount to conform to the slanted part of the back hatch?

Would make it stick out less

Ya I have and I dont really feed the need to. I feel its up high enough. My tire sets higher then most tire carriers you can buy, and higher then most of my buddys so Im not to worryed. Maybe if I start hitting it all over the place then maybe ill look into it.

Yes I did. They prob are. You just want to keep as much of the tube as you can to keep it structurally supported
