Is that silver one bent

 

Yep, the silver one is bent. That's the bolt that was on the axle side trackbar - the body was about 1/8" smaller than the mounting holes letting it play. The 1/2" on the left was what I replaced it with. We found this out when trying to torque them down to make sure everything was good and it wouldn't torque - we found out why when we managed to finally get the bolt out

 

What all did you order? Which tire carrier did you go with - Gerry can mount or without?

 

I did the gerry can version, textured black

Here is my complete order:

SMITTYBILT XRC-10 COMP SERIES WINCH
AEV OE JACK BASE KIT 07-11 JK

Very nice. Great success!

 

Sweet! Get ready for a PITA install on the Tire Carrier, but once installed, that thing's about as stout as they get! Very impressive. And that's the exact same Stinger I wanted to go with but with ORF, I had to choose between winch mount or fog lights, and I wanted one with both . Who did you end up ordering it through?

 

Thanks guys, I am really excited. These items have been on my wish list for a while.

I understand about the fog lights. Oddly enough, I have the same problem but in reverse. I do not have fog lights, and a LOT of bumper designs have locations for fog lights. I didn't want a bumper that had empty fog light holes... that would just seem silly. So, the OR-Fab fit that bill, and it also turned out to be pretty high on my list anyway. Throw in the fact it matches my tire carrier, and it just seemed like a perfect fit.

I ordered the whole thing from Quadratec. I attempted to piece it out, and I even email Dave @ Northridge and got a quote on the portion of this order he could fulfill, in the end he cut a whole $20 off a $1200 order, and due to him being higher on some things than Quadratec, in the end he was only $8 cheaper than Quadratec.

I called our forum rep directly at Quadratec and he waved shipping and freight charges, and gave me a pretty good discount on top of it too. In the end I came out a little cheaper than attempting to piece this order up, plus I didn't have the hassle of calling 3 or 4 different places to make a bunch of small orders.

 

I don't think those are fog light holes for the back bumpers - those are for back up lights

That's good though - the Q is not known to be cheaper or close to other vendors prices, but it's always nice when you can get a discount to make up for that

 

lol... Reverse as in "the opposite of your problem" not reverse as in a rear bumper...

 

nope... In fact, that's why I usually avoid them.

But I had seen a few threads where they commenting that they were giving special discounts for forum members, so I figured id give them a try to see if they could quote a cheaper price.



Oh.... On an entirely unrelated note... Where are things sitting with your Jeep? Did you get a game plan?
