    Overland The Third. ARB WJ inside!

    I have yet to install the front. I can post the lenghts when I get around to it. No coil spacers in the front yet. I ended up with 2.5 inches of lift on the front with the OME springs once the bumper was on. I'm not sure if it'll sag any more with a winch in there. I bought the short version...

    Metcalf this up your alley.

    You guys crack me up! It a concept built for SEMA to draw attention to the Fab Four booth. It's no different than 90% of all the concept cars made by manufacturers that never end up being made. I saw it in person and thought it was pretty cool and out of the ordinary. Probably doesn't even run...

    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    Cutting the center section to recess the winch is a great idea. Most bumper kill the approach angle. My ARB is terrible for that.

    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    Front axle looks seriously well built! Any plans for a front bumper at some point? I'm sure you probably don't really need it. Too bad LSR stopped making his.

    Been almost a month since last update. As previously discussed, I was really starting to feel the weight of the rear bumper. I looked high and low at all the suspension options. At first I was considering Clayton Offroad 6 inch long arm kit. It would net me about 5 inches with all the extra...

    Would you say the LED low beam has a "cutoff" or is it just scattered from the OEM projector?

    I love my Protofab rear. Very well built and the fit is perfect. Weight is the only down side.

    Your sliders look a lot like my JCR ones. Any idea what you will be doing for bumpers?

    Looks great. Attention to detail is amazing. What's next? Also, did the springs settle a bit more?

    Awesome! As a fellow Calgarian I'm looking forward to this build. What did you end up doing with the Airtop? Hope to see your Jeep in person at some point!

    looking to get back into a jeep looking at kj and wj

    WJ is definitely the better choice in terms of room and offroad capability out of the box. If you're looking for fuel mileage I'd say your best bet is the Liberty.

    Overland The Third. ARB WJ inside!

    It has a built in lip that prevents most stuff from getting in. I'm sure some snow or mud will find a way through. I just have to clean it more often. I also undercoated the inside of that lip in anticipation of it. The Clayton 4.5 would probably sag down to a 3.5 or even 3" with all the...

    Thanks madzj. The OME HD is rated for 1.5 inch lift loaded. I'm sitting at around 2 inches of lift right now with the bumper but no gear in the truck. By the time I load up the Jeep to go camping with the fridge and all the stuff I'm thinking I'll be sagged down to the 1.5 inch mark. I'm going...

    Everything is installed! :wings: The bumper was a pain to install but I was expecting that after reading a few threads about it. Took about 3 hours to get it installed in total. Sliders were also a bit of a pain because of where you have to drill on the "frame". Here it goes: Rear rebar with...

    Fielding opinions, 15 AEV JKUR

    I'd say it depends on what you do with your Jeep. If you're thinking of going offroading quite a bit I would keep the old one, that way it won't hurt your feelings as much if it gets damaged. Otherwise the AEV Jeeps are pretty sweet but you'll want to make sure you keep it for a while.

    Thank you. I will be painting it like the front bumper. The only problem is that my painter is really busy right now. So the plan is to paint it black for now and I will drop it off to get it painted the first week of November.

    Trip to the border today for pick up my long awaited rear bumper and sliders. I'm hoping to get them on very soon. Also got the process started on covering the whole Jeep with Xpel paint protection film as I did on the 4Runner. I covered the ARB bumper right after it was painted and now I...
