Recently made a trip from Indiana to Ouray/Silverton CO and was able to test out my KO2s. Sadly don't have the Off Road Package but have been looking for parts like the steel skids and the low range tcase. 275/55/20 BFG KO2s 275/55/20 BFG KO2s
Mounting those can be fun. I use a jerry can on its side to prop them close enough to the bottom of the car. It saves me some aggravation and passionate vocabulary. Safety tip: the can should not contain any fuel.

@Cody Brinck looks great! Did you do black Bear Pass to Telluride?

Black Bear Pass was closed for repair - that really tight right-hander where you have to back and fill washed out and only motorcycles could get through last summer.
I am cautions on that route because of potential body damage, and ask for scouting reports before going there, but our ML's sure show up the Jeep Clubs.
It's fun to come across a a group of Jeeps, studying and planning their attacks, and ask them if we can Play Through. And then watch their smirks and mockery turn into averted eyes
FYI the front skid plates unfortunately do not fit those with an AMG body styling front bumper. The center (main) one does!
If you have the plastic skid plate - you will need 15 new screws (different than the plastic ones) that are more heavy duty = 000000-007668 - $5.40 list, can be found online for $2.50/each.
Don't forget to order the foam piece (goes on the skid plate) and plastic attachments in case yours didn't come with it.
I spray painted mine with rustoleum to prevent rust (engine enamel gloss black).
