Thanks for the compliments, took 6 months of weekends to get done.
The tires are in fact 265/75 R16s. Sorry for the confusion, I just updated my signature block.
ARB lockers worked perfectly. In fact, my KJ crawled up one of the dirt hills in 4LO with front and rear lockers engaged - no problem. My TJ Unlimitted Rubicon failed the same test in 4LO with lockers on. The TJ only made it up when it hit the hill with some speed, it needed the forward momentum to make it up that same muddy hill. There are lots of variables involved to explain this, different tires, weight distribution, etc... but still an interesting result.
Sport - I think RRO still makes them, but just give them a call. Having installed them myself... I would install them using a different procedure than the instructions say. Instead of completely trusting their drill guide strip, I would just dry fit them, and drill the holes straight throught he rock rail's bolt holes, and then drive the bolts right through.
The antennas in the front aren't ideal for driver's line of sight, but the location has the advantage of having lots of clearance all around them for a good signal. This way I don't have to have antennas sticking out above my roofline. The front bumper hoop also comes with 2 mounting tabs. The TR rear bumper does not. I could have fabbed one, but it wasn't worth it. The drivers side antenna is for the Cobra remote mount CB. The passenger side antenna is for the Icom IC208H AM/FM dual band transceiver.
