Very cool. I like that alot. That orange jeep has been a fav of mine since i first seen it.

Yours turned out slightly higher (above the bottom edge of the headlight recess instead of even with it) I like yours better


But i really think you need to do the other side now... ....and the whole one tow hook thing? definetly not to well balanced...

Thanks Happy. I looked at that skunk works jeep for a long time and saw that what they did was fill the hole for the side marker. I didn't want to do that. Also I wanted to shorten the fender a little. I think it looks more aggressive that way.. The front bumper is a seperate project. I have the Pure Jeep front stubby and I also have the Mopar tow bar. To make it work the brackets have to come through slots I cut on the front bumper. I also want to cut the top to use the factory tow hooks. I had two projects going on Saturday and I didn't finish either! Story of my life.

Very Nice Clackey! I need to do mine now and cut down the Mopar bumper to a Stubby. I know you put a lot of miles on your JK, how are the tires holding up?

Yo Way, Did you do it yet? I've almost got my drivers fender repaired and hopefully will have it cut tonight. I wanna see the Rubi fenders cut.

Hey Woods, Did you do yours yet?
