With the addition of the spare tire carrier, I would like to add a rear tow point. Also the rear tow point could be used for tying down to the trailer.

Here is what I come up with for now. It's light weight, not noisy, no permanent modification, and super quick to install.

I bought these two tow straps



There is a hole in the frame down low near the hitch. I used the supplied bolt and made my own large washer/backing plate.



I'll get the other pics later, I must have forgotten the installed pic.

I got time for a couple more before I go play in the rain.

Here is the interior lights.

how do u like your interior lights? bright enough or anything u don't like about them?

 

[joeymt33]

I love them! They cheap and waterproof.

Here's a pic of just the two interior lights.

Those are so cheap I put two in the front and have 2 more for the back.
Yeah - almost too bright. Might screw up my night vision after I turn them on to see the gear selector.

Having them mounted above the driver and passenger they also spill enough light out the sides to act as puddle lights.

Work is still keeping me busy. I did manage to drop in the bedliner. I know, big job right! For anyone interested in the fit and finish....

does bed liner pop in and out without any tools?

Up next was the winch, front bumper, and limb risers. The winch was a lot easier than I thought. Step one was to throw away the OEM instructions and do it my way.

so u get any reflection back from the front brush guard from your stock headlights?

While I was out in the dark I shot a pic of these super bright interior lights. Did I tell you guys these are like $5 for a pair?

wow i got those thanks 2 u but haven't mounted them yet now I see!!!!

It can be screwed down but I don't do it.

It lays flat and is easy to remove.

No reflection at all on any of my lights.

I almost forgot to add the last pic.





I will use these tie down points for strapping to the trailer and maybe towing other vehicles or items.

Where did you get those tie downs? I need something like that cause currently I use the rollbar and it's rubbing off the paint. By the way those a-arms are wicked!!!

I finally got around to installing the shackles from TS Ironworks.

They will be strong and mount in a good location for strength.

They look good and it's a good idea to have them.

Nice! Definitely add to the "bad*ss look.

I gave them a good shakedown ride today and didn't hear any rattle. I was expecting to hear a lot and thought I would have to put a bungee cord on them. I may throw a bungee in the glove box just in case but so far, so good.

TS iron work powder coated them. I guess if they ever start to rust I will sand blast them and powder coat them myself. Several years back Sears discontinued their powder coat system and I bought two for $60! I powder coated my snorkel tube and it turned out nice.

I have to give credit where credit is due. @Whiskey1 did it first and have me the contact to purchase them. You can get shackles anywhere, but this guy does a good job of making the baseplate fit the bumper nicely.
