Time to do something with those fenders and a little more armor. Decided to go with a set of PSC Front and Rear Crusher Flares in Alum. and let the painting begin.

Powder coating would have been so much simpler.

The stone ringing from inside the back wheel arches was solved by using rubberized undercoat with a layer of black enamel paint over the top.

Don't think I can get it passed her as she has been to the Hammers. Each time a large brown box gets delivered she asks if that is for the jeep.

You may ask why Speedbumps and not King Air stops, well the $700 v $1150 price swayed the selection, and I don't plan on doing any fast stuff until the axle swap and coil overs, then I will probably change. (Plan on pushing that KOH envelope limit as far as possible )

Found these little gems on ebay, $50 a set. 2 10W CREEs in each.

Rockhard 4x4 gas can holder fits perfectly on the WARN tire carrier.
