You use the same bedliner to spray the wheel wells?

Looking damn good! That front bumper looks nice. Any plans for a winch up front?

Nah.. I don't want to regear.. The 33's on 4.10s work pretty good. Plus it cruises down the highway well.. Don't want to ruin that.

I used Krylon rust enamel in satin black. Sprayed my bumper with it too. It lays down well.

Thanks man! My bumper guy is recommending a Superwinch so if I do I'll look at that one.

I understand. I'm planning for the future and such and my Jeep will look like yours for the lift/tire/flare combo since it's also 4"s and will be trimming and putting new flares on. But i'm trying to decide if I want to go 33x10.50 or 35x12.50. I have time, but I might go 35 and regear to 4.56 for the fun of it. Just have to bumpstop

Prom? Where are her priorities? I was going to try and make it. Looking to caravan down with some peeps, maybe I'll try and catch you along 44... Are you just taking the JK I guess? No family this time?

Great build Tony! Each build has a purpose and believe yours is to look like a clean cut badazz. BTW your XJ inspired me to buy dark argent wheels, so thanks for stepping out of the norm and trying something different.

Yes planning on the XJ. I'm not going to wheel the JK anytime soon unless I drive it to Moab which I just might do. Lol

Core 4x4 adjustable control arms, upper and lower installed (not shown). New transmount (rides nicer now!) and some spiffy yellow d-rings installed.
