the tpms are the valve stems. They are one single unit

No they are not… they are a two piece item that the sensor it attached to the stem using a torx screw.
I ordered them about two weeks ago and got them very quickly. About a week
You must be a unicorn lol.
It’ll be a while before aftermarket catches up for sliders/reco points. Lots of R&D. Hopefully Chief or Offroad animal will bite on our 3rd row. In the meantime, We dont even have a replacement air filter haha. We’ve also gotta wait until someone gets a GCL with offroad group, take the VIN and figure out P/Ns for skids (that are prolly on backorder anyway lol). So far, the stock felts are working great!

First of all, SICK RIDE!!!! Looks damn nice.
Yeah just came back from a roadtrip to Baja California and then the Eastern Sierras in California during a snowstorm which had like the most snowfall in the last 10 years or something. Drove over sand dunes, rocks, snow, mountain, mud, water literally everything and I am not going to lie, it was amazing!!! The car was fully stock with all season tires and it did fantastic. The air suspension was sick too. Came back home yesterday and the first thing I did was to order some A/T tires lol. Can't wait for the next adventure!
My business is next to an auto body shop and I had them order me the summit reserve rims and new tpms.. so maybe try an auto body shop? It’s all I can suggest! Good luck
That sounds like an AWESOME road trip lol!! Glad you made it through all that on the all seasons. Wait until you can air down a bit with your A/Ts and really grip the trail. We crawled up a small dirt mountain the other day and it was incredible - almost a 30 degree pitch it just walked right up!

Looks bad ass!! Do you mind sharing where you got the amber lighting for the grill? Thanks.

I was inspired by this setup so I pulled the trigger myself. I didn't want quite as aggressive of an offset but I definitely didn't like how the stock rims sat so far inside the wheel well. These are also 265/65/18s. Offset is +35.

Offset is useless without sharing the width of your wheels.

Yes...Airlinks have lift/lowering struts available for our Jeeps equipped with air suspension. I have the front level kit installed. Check out the link below:

@blaster9 I was wondering if you could share some detail on the modification to the wheel well liner (where/how you cut...with pics?
)I put on 275/55r20's on my factory rims (with 1" spacers) and get very slight rubbing on the liner. I'm looking to cut/modify to get some extra clearance. Any idea if applying heat (with a heat gun) would make it pliable enough to move it out of the way and stay in the new position once cool?
Also, did you change the size of your original spare to a similar size? If so, how well did it fit in the original location. I haven't done anything (and have never really needed a spare) but am a little concerned about driving any significant distance on a spare that is a different size.
