No. My wife wanted some steps to get in. So I bought the plastic mopar ones. Bought me plenty of time to figure out slider options. Have a set of weld on EVO sliders in the garage.
These will be for sale.

Man I suck at adding these pics. Always get two of the same.

So road worthy once again! Haven't balances them yet. Drove about 20 miles so far. Up to 80mph and I didn't notice any vibrations. Road noise on the coopers is very minimal. I'm sure it will increase with miles and offroading.

Also this setup rides soo much nicer then before. I don't know if it's the 17s and 37 combo, D- rated tires or the fox 2.0 shocks. Whatever it is I like it.

No not yet. It drives good now. It doesn't shimmy or shake. I work at a power plant and this is outage season ,so we are working 7 days a week for a while.

No worries ... Just curious ..... Probably won't take a lot of weights anyways from what I've read on other forums.

So I finally had my tires balanced. 3 of them ranged from
1 oz up to 2.5 oz. 4th one took 6. It was the tire that weighed more then the others. Didn't have the spare done yet as I was installing my jcr bumper.
