Don't forget the spare tire carrier. I'm thinking of going this route too so I can make room for my air tank and compressor.

Good call. Not sure yet, one step at a time.

im thinking of running a set of these front and rear maybe 1.5" or 2" wide cause my 9" wide wheel stick out past the body now. Think it would look pretty good too if i bump up to the wider 255/50/18 Rugged AT tires.
I found them cheaper on line, but this picture shows what they would look like in a vehical.

pretty cool im not the only one looking into jk'n these things up alittle bit. i have 2 chrome jerry can just chillin at my place i have been tryin to decide what i was going to do with them. probably do an olive drab pc on them and mount them up some where, inside the rear hatch cause they are metal not plastic and would get very hot on the roof or rear outside basket.

Good Idea, are you going to purchase the Jerry holder that you sent or would you make a DIY project? Seems expensive to hold two cans

they have single jerry can holders from smitty build co. for around 40.00 each but they stand up instead of lay down, so i will probably go down that route.

The Blue Ridge Overland Gear is nice because its non-invasive and light weight. You don't have to cut or drill.

Again, I'm not a fan of the Off-roader look, but I saw this and thought it was very interesting.

Wicked looking treads!





And, apparently the fabrication shop built it up from a wrecked X5
