Yeah kinda does.

Another shot of previous XJ in new hands.

Did they do the door jams and engine bay and all or is it a cheap paint job?

thatXJguy

I'm not 100% sure, but that's something I can always check out in the future.

I was just curious because that's a major color change right there.

question - what did you think about the STT pros in the time that you had them? Especially in the wet.

Thanks

thatXJguy

I loved them. I used them in all kinds of weather and they grabbed the road well. I'm planning on having another set for the Wrangler soon.

I did some new vinyl today:

Krakker

Nice vinyl.


I'd walk back into that dealer tho and slap somebody.

dukie564

cool. Thanks for the input.

thatXJguy

No problem!

thatXJguy

More, matching vinyl

I removed the plastic bumpers from the JK and added the steel Rubicon Hard Rock ones. Includes a steel skid plate up front to replace the plastic air dam:







And I also added the clear marker lights, so now it looks more like a 2016:

That looks a lot better than the rubber crap. More functional is good too

Thanks - yeah the Hard Rock bumper is really cool. It's made out of the same thickness metal almost as the Rough Country bumper I had on the XJ, and it's modular, so you can turn it into a stubby bumper if you want to.

Another feature of it is the ability to add a winch and fairlead if I ever wanted to, and it sits low in the bumper as not to block the radiator.

The back bumper is also steel, and it has a spot for a larger tire carrier.

Everything was a direct bolt-on, but I had to grind some nuts off of my trailer hitch because the rear bumper has 4 threads in it that replace the weld nuts on the hitch.
