Good idea on the window screens. I was thinking of doing something like that to sleep in the back of my Jeep.

thanks. i always knew i wanted some, but never got around to making them.

bought some front long arms last week. now just waiting on 4.5" springs and some shocks, then i'll put everything in.

Where did you get your tail lights? They look like ones I was looking at on carid.com. Do you like them, have you had any problems since replacing.

i bought mine on ebay. at first i wasn't a huge fan on the U-shaped lights, but it's something i got used too. no problems with them and they are super bright. on a dark road they will light up objects way behind you when you hit the brakes. only thing i'm afraid of is damaging them on a trail since they are so expensive, but i had to go the aftermarket way, since my factory taillights were giving me all sorts of trouble.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Awesome! Can wait to see. Options for the WJ are really limited as I am sure you know.

yes, but they do have a few nice looking winch bumpers, just expensive.

They do, I just cant seem to justify dropping 1K+ on a bumper only to have to turn around and pony up again for a winch for it. Additionally, most I have seen weigh in well over 100lbs! That's just too heavy in my opinion. I have been checking with a couple of local shops in my area to have an aluminum bumper built for me.

 

[t4rFL]

agree. should have the bumper done by Friday, as long as it doesn't rain much. i will be installing my front LA's soon as well as my Clayton 4.5" springs and Pro Comp shocks i just ordered soon. also rebuilding my tcase probably the same day as the lift install.

some pictures of the bumper being built. not my jeep, but the builder's...

 

[t4rFL]

more progress..

by the way, this is what we are basing it off of...,.

Looking good, I'm also hoping to build a bumper for my wj after the first of the year
