@Sushi But the biggest thing is the rubi goes on the road alot more gracefully, and is alot more comfortable. I imagine you trailered the YJ to the trail. I have a trail rig fj-40 that will go much better off road but I haven't wheeled it the first time sine I got the JK.

Haha, might be the fact that I've owned 2 CJ's. I was thinkin it'd give it that look, I can say I'm very happy with the way it came out. Broke up all the black. Every jk I see around here has black rims. Guess cause the cragers are cheap. Hell thats why I have em. Now I have 4 spares( one was trashed in the wreck) so I ordered 5 new black cragers so the body guy could paint them.
Anyway, they turned out good, IMO.

Default fenders and bedline armor

Ok guys, I finally finished this project. Took awhile to gather everything I needed but I am happy with the results.
I had to fill the holes made by prior fenders, sand, prime and paint. Also went with Duplicolor Bed Armor where the PS Body Armor once hung. I was really suprised at the amount of dirt/grime behind those panels when I pulled them off.
Let me know what you think. Oh yeah, since I had a whole gallon of the stuff and no liners for the rear, I decided to line the rear fender wells.
Almost forgot, installed clear turning signal lenses with amber bulbs.
The only thing I have left is to find the female wiring adapters for the fender light markers. I had cut them off when I installed the Xenons. Ive got the rest of the wiring harness. I tried to solder the wires onto the side markers but no luck.

Damn, Justin! Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Hope you get things back up and running soon.

And in keeping with normal forum policy, I gotta bust your chops: If you don't have a matching spare rim, take that stock spare off!!


On a lighter note: I guess I am officially at the Point of No Return. I got started yesterday cutting out the motor mounts. Used up two new sawzall blades, and only got one mount removed. No biggy. Sears has more blades. I have a pneumatic cut off wheel, but didn't feel like throwing sparks all over the garage without somebody on 'fire watch'.

Just one little step closer ...................
