2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara X edition

2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara X edition

It's an Evo JK Tire Carrier. Looks awesome, but spendy.

The carrier its self is $1089.99

The corners come in Steel or aluminum $269.99 or 299.99

Tail lights through EVO are $84.99

Plus powder coating (you need to call them) IIRC is about $270.00

Then OP also has D-ring mounts from EVO $149.99

Also he has the EVO rear bumper fascia comes insteel or aluminum 189.99 or 209.98

All in your looking at around $2100.00 I have the same set up as OP. After I bought a quality nutsert tool to install the rockers, third brake light from PSC and better pins then the ones they give you from EVO it was around $2500 IT was worth every penny

That's a fact. I got the rear skins, tire carrier, taillights, minimalist rear bumper, tow hooks that mount inside the frame, and also the bolt on cover that replaces factory spare tire cover bolts to protect vent for around 2100

New tire carrier! This thing is solid!

The Johnny joints make it easy. Very adjustable. I have mine set that when I pull the pins and pull it out it stays perfectly centered so when you close it again you don't have to lift or push down to get it into the brackets. The only issue I have is that they are 9/16 in holes and they give you 1/2 in pins. Using those pins it will rattle like crazy. I had to get the right pins to finish it right.

For a third brake light I used the poison spyder very easy to wire

Cut like a pro

As a professional, one big thing....

Pinch the blade, not the handle. Seriously.

 Cut like a pro

As someone with a good amount of kitchen experience, an 8" chef's knife is pretty much all you need (bread and paring knives are the other 2).

The biggest thing is that you can't cut yourself if your fingers are not by the blade. Curling your fingers back is the most important thing about knife safely.

If anyone cares, my knife is this Shun 8" Western Chef's Knife.[1] It's an awesome knife to buy if you're willing to maintain it.

I'd say the first thing to buy is a sharpening stone. Then buy cheap knives, only caring about shape (more French? more German? Santoku?) as well as (this is important) that it doesn't have a bevel because that sucks when slicing (like this is bad[1]  , like this is good[2]  ). And yes really get the big-ass ones.

Five to ten bucks each. They're going to last you a long time, if you're a home chef maybe even for life if you're lucky. Knife steel has come a long way and as you have a stone, you don't have any excuse for the knife to ever be blunt.

Buy something fancy once you know what you actually want, when you already know how to handle a knife.

Oh, and when it comes to cutting boards: Wood, bamboo if you want. Glass kills your knives, plastic is unhygienic outside of industrial settings. Just wash it, let dry vertically. You can play it fast and loose when cutting bread, when cutting meat washing ASAP is mandatory. Wood is naturally antibacterial.
