    I'll second Barrys comments about Kim Dawsons end caps. Top quality and sturdy. I like them so much I both two more sets, one spare set for my Scrambler and a set to replace the plastic ones on my J10 Stepside.

    Finally got my Laredo wheel restored

    I had mine redone by Kim Dawson about a year ago, beautiful work. So nice I'm nervous touching it . Your jeep reminds me off a hot red CJ7 I had in high school, love that color.

    Spare Tire Rack repair/upgrade (oem)

    I wanted to keep my original bumper so I modified my factory tire carrier for two Jerry cans. I've thought about enclosing it or at least half of it and storing jumper cables and tools. Did this about 14 yrs ago and it's still solid. I used hardened shoulder bolts in the hinges. Make sure...
