    Here is a link (also in my signature) to all the current specs on my LJ: https://nm4w.org/rigs/?rg_id=2 I'd go with at least 4.88 and even lower if you think you would pull a trailer.

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Drove my Jeep after aiming the LED Halos that I recently installed. Nice improvement over stock.

    Got a link about those supports? Bushwacker has a slightly different design that adds some rigidity with a more pronounced lip on the edge:

    Yes, they are the 6". I stretched the bottom of the opening when I installed them, which gives the sagging appearance. I'm sure that I could adjust to correct the issue, but it doesn't bother me enough to worry about.

    what do jeep guys like as a truck?

    I picked this 2010 Colorado a few months ago: I really like the new Colorado/Canyons, but couldn't come to grips with the price tag. I wanted a smaller pickup so that I can tow it behind my motor home. That ruled out a lot of options as there are not many that can be pulled 4 wheels down...

    Project: 'Trail Rated' Bumper

    Thanks! I have a buddy who ditched all the plastic on his Canyon bumper and added a winch: For now, I plan to keep things looking pretty stock. Maybe in the future I will trim the plastic a bit more, who knows. I also need to wait until things warm up around here to throw some paint on the...

    Project: 'Trail Rated' Bumper

    With these all fabricated and bolted up to the truck, the next thing to address is relieving the bumper for them to protrude through. With the bumper mounted in place and the factory tow hooks removed, I used a rectangular soap-stone to mark the sides of the frame on the inside of the plastic...

    Project: 'Trail Rated' Bumper

    Switching gears to the shackle tabs / towbar mounts: The shackle tabs that I purchased were only 2" tall and narrower than what is needed to span the spacing for the factory tow hook bolts, so some added material was needed. I headed down to a local metal yard and found a scrap piece of 3/8" x...

    Project: 'Trail Rated' Bumper

    I made the brackets to utilize the stock lower bumper bolts that reside inside the frame. Then I proceeded to take measures to fold the sides of the bumper to follow the contour of the front end of the truck. As you can see in the last photo in the previous post, the Jeep bumper is much more...

    Project: 'Trail Rated' Bumper

    I made a bit more progress, but the weather is hindering any big progress. I got the bumper plastic trimmed and some tabs attached to catch the top stock bumper mounting locations At this point, it actually attaches to the truck.

    Project: 'Trail Rated' Bumper

    The Jeep frame is about .8" wider than the Colorado's frame. Here is a picture of the Jeep bumper with integrated shackle mounts: To match the spacing of the shackle mounts on the Jeep, I milled the tabs that I bought down to a nice fit:
