Looks like they match up the front bumper perfectly!

BTW, you and Theksmith made me buy a WJ today. It was a good deal, couldn't pass it up. ;)

nice looking wj!

and not to hijack your thread, but 4wd.com has the flares right now for $425 shipped, use coupon code ju4wddis1 and get them for $400, for some reason its cheaper to order the front and back pairs separate then to order the whole set, just ordered mine last night, and they have a youtube video somewhere on how to install them if anyone wants to know

Those bumpers are beastly! Love the look. :beer:

Thanks!


So, the bad news.... Working on the jeep with a jack stand on a wood block; the wood broke and jeep fell. My thumb was inside a spring at the time.

The good news is that they were able to "re-plant" my thumb. It was hanging on by a flap of skin.

Thanks for the concern guys!

It's looking as good as can be. I have a little feeling in it, and should be getting the pins removed in about a month. They say it will work normal, but we will see.

The worst part of the whole thing is that I now have a ton of free time, and a HUGE pile of parts to install, but cant work on anything.

Yay!!

I got my LA'S in! I'm like a lil kid. It did fight me a bit, and I had to do some things I didn't expect.


They are;

Remove washer bottle for clearance. Apparently this is common.
Trim my front ARB bumper a bit.
Slide the whole axle foreword about 3". I have a new x-member coming to move it back to stock ish.

The exciting part is that this is on 33's. If I move the rear axle back a bit I think I can do 35's.

Wow! Looking great! The Bushwackers are on my wishlist! All I really need to complete my "needs" list is a set of lower control arms for the front, and an alignment...hopefully to help the insane death wobble I'm dealing with...

I can't wait to move on from the "needs" list to the "wants" list!
