I looked into those big hitch flaps and didn't particularly like that solution. I've not done anything so far but the trailer SS rockgaurds are collecting more dents than I like. Ideally, I'd have splash guard extensions to clip on when towing only. So I'm not dragging them when off-roading and to keep a more sleeper appearance.
I remember pictures with them on your 200 right? What did you not like about them? My aluminum is also collecting its share of rock dings. I need to do something in a the very near future.
 
@beveldrive Are your wheels 17" Method 703's? Are you running 0 or +35 offset? Tire size? Any side shots? Looking good!


18" Method 705 +25mm offset. 2" OME lift.

Might have been someone else? I'm not currently running anything and really do need to.

On a '16? Any signs of cracking?


No signs of cracking at all. I did see some pink near the water pump gasket, but it has not been loosing any noticeable fluid.

I was not necessary, but it sure isn't going to hurt. The water pump gasket was iffy though.
 
Added these billet prospeed rack light handles. They are sleek and functional.

Installed some cheepo tail lights in the Kaymar bumper. Getting pretty close to having this bumper project wrapped up. License plate light and the panels that cover the hinges and I think that’ll be a wrap.

Those lights look cool. Is there a link to them?
 
Not a big project compared to what I read here but I got around to running 6GA cable fused at 50A from my 2nd battery through the passenger side firewall to a SB-50 connector. (I have the same thing on the driver's side connected to the starter battery which I use to charge our Goal Zero 1500X Power Station when on the road). I was also able to crimp a female cigarette lighter to the SB-50 for more power options. It's fused at 15A with the fuse behind the kick plate. I might anchor it somewhere with an EMT/conduit clamp but for now it just dangles.

Getting the cable through the firewall involved taking off the glove box which I must say I'm pretty good at as I did it 3 times!!! Once to carefully disassemble and reassemble it just to see if I could. Then to disassemble it, pull the wires and reassemble it. Then a THIRD time when I realized I forgot to reattach the glove-box's cable for its light. :doh: So I'm now REALLY good at the glove-box removal thing!

The mount for the SB-50 is a surface mount PanelPodSB from Powerwerx which worked out really well. Powerwerx PanelPodSB for Anderson SB50 Series Connectors - https://powerwerx.com/panelpodsb-anderson-sb50-mounting-pod

I can only draw 25A continuously off the 2nd battery as the REDARC 1225D can only charge the battery at 25A.
But, I'm happy with this setup:

I'm going to drop some of my low profile front recovery points off at my anodizer today or tomorrow.
Anyone want another color other than black, grey, or red?
Other options are blue, purple, gold, orange, copper, pink and possibly bronze to match Heritage wheels.

That’s a lotta sidewall bulge! Am I reading correctly - 275/70r18?? Looks wider
