Did my first oil and filter change (950 miles). Changed over to full synthetic Mobil 1. Also put the protective screen on my sync screen.

No. I just haven't had a chance to clean off the blue stuff the manufacturer uses on the lettering. It's on today's to-do list.

installed half of my jcr skid plates. Can confirm that the pinch welds along the rockers are an absolute b*tch to drill thru!!!

Plates are really well made! Very happy with them! Next will be the HRG lift kit and then finding some heavier rear springs to handle the extra went of the skid plates and the RTT

If you plan to do any trail riding at all, consider removing the front forward splash shields.

I don't have splash shields anymore with the skid plates.

Getting windshield tinted. Ordered some 1.5in spacers going on K02 245/65/17. Will have to report back the fit apparently no ones ran an offset that much on 245s?

I think you are going to have a rubbing issue with that big of a spacer and the K02. Moving the wheel/tire out like that puts it closer to the pinch weld (which is the rubbing problem for the BS) when the wheel is turned and the suspension is compressed somewhat.

Here is the pinch weld exposed:

Damner thanks for info may just be returning them then. So what would remedy this having higher lift/suspension, do people trim that part of the weld? This is all relatively new to me. Thanks ?

Edit: I also have some 1.25in spacers on the way in case the 1.5s absolutely don't work.
