Winner of the EVO MFG DoubleD Long Arm Install
 

EVO Manufacturing recently completed the development of their all new Jeep JK Wrangler, EVO MFG 4" DoubleD JK Bolt On Long Arm Kit and to help kick off its big release, they held a giveaway here on JK-Forum. One very lucky member from New Mexico, nmwranglerx, had his name drawn and won not only the EVO DoubleD Long Arm but the installation of it as well. In order to claim his prize he would be required to have the installation done at Off Road Evolution. So, he and his wife took some time off work and hit the road to Fullerton, California!

Here are some photos taken of the install at Off Road Evolution:

Sweet!

Now, how does it ride?????

Congrats
 

Looks Great!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Very cool and Congrats on the free stuff!

I see a loss of the tranny skid any plans for that? Which manufacture skids work with the EVO LA setup?

I, also, see stock DS? Should these be replaced? I imagine so, but EVO's site makes no mention of it. Just that the exhaust needs worked.
