You damn firefighters... don't get me angry or else I'll park in front of the hydrant. On a side note, my favorite Reno 911 eisode was the one where the police ball and fireman's ball was on the same night.

I'm in my recliner at work, watching Super Troopers right now. And looking at jeep stuff. What a great job!

What are you talking about? Firemen don't have balls!


Your bumper looks great, by the way.

Hey - good luck with that. What do firemen and police jobs in Australia pay per year? As far as firemen not having balls, you wouldn't catch me running into a building that was engulfed in flames.

It is actually a joke that I have with some of my hose dragging friends.

It is a take off of a joke one of them told me about a Texas trooper not having balls.

I got the Gerry can holders mounted, as well as my 37" spare tire. Now it looks like a REAL Jeep. Yeah - my tag is there for every to see, but the way I figure, I have guns. Lots of them. The bumper took 20 minutes to uncrate (they did a hell of a good job making sure it's protected) and about an hour to get everything assembled. Notice hos thrilled my brother is to be posing with the Jeep.

looks good, i hate the high placement of the rear tire, it looks like your rear visibility is at a pleasant 0%

only if they could make the spare mount lower, then it would be better,

i do like the lines of the bumper, flow really well

you wouldnt happen to know if the spare tire carrier is any different then the first version (other then the new gussets)

You could potentially run into problems with the rear tire dragging with a lower mount, I would imagine.

Yes, visibility sucks. Bad. But I don't attribute that to the LOD - I attribute that to a big ass tire being behind the rear window. If it wre really an issue, I could mount it on the roof rack, but I don't mind.
