Got my hitch n rear Rancho Bumper/carrier on today. I love the bumper however, the last step in putting the hitch pin assembly into the bushing sucked. Rancho supplies all the hardware and one of the bushing/sleeves for the removable pin is oblonged and not drilled in the center. So I thought it was the powder coat. I removed it n the pin still wouldn't go through to the bottom. I then removed the sleeve n the pins went in just fine.
I made a call to Rancho. Waited on hold for 10 mins, then am told I can't get a new sleeve that is straight -from them. The operator/customer service says I have to try to order one from the dealer who sold me the bumper. Now this was my first Rancho product n will be my last. The hi lift jack mount was also a pain.
I was missing a part from my winch mount from Warn. I called up customer service n told them. 2 days later I had the part in my hands free of charge. Why would Rancho not offer to give me the part let alone sell me one..My Warn Bumpeer n Winch are great..I don't reccomend Rancho after this .Don't get me wrong my tire is mounted n the bumper will do its job but I feel for the price they need better customer service.
If anyone else had a similar problem plz let me know. Thanks.

For my first mod, I removed the crappy silver cover on my Sahara bumpers and coated my grill with Duplicolor bedliner last night....the fumes are finally gone. 
I will have new Pro Comp 7089's and Pro Comp A/T arriving next week. Hopefully I can also take off my fender flares and apply some Duplicolor to them as well.

Finally got around to installing my Bestop Wraparound Windjammer on my Unlimited. Much better than the windjammer that's supposed to be for the unlimited. It's a tight squeeze though. It's loosened up some and I think a couple weeks of running it should have it stretched just the right amount. No pic just yet.

Nothing big here, I have a plain Jane X Unlimited and finally got around to putting bigger tires on it... budget constraints limited me to 30 1/2 inch tires... Stock wheels... Looks good, but should have waited and done the 2.5" BB and bigger wheels and tires at the same time.
