Front/rear bumpers
I may of missed this -- where did you get the front and rear bumbers (tire carrier) ?? I have been looking for a rear that does not block the right tail light with carrier hooked up. I have only seen one brand so far that
is clear of the tail light. I like that front one !!!
What did they charge for the powder coat ?

I had the day off today so I got a lot done. Mounted the front bumper and got my battery cables upgraded. Snapped one of the power steering pump bolts during the install which added about 2 hours to the job . I have to give props to Nates 4X4, the bumper lined up perfectly, looks and feels awesome. I actually think it tightened up my front end a bit.

Got the winch installed last night, the control box does not get along with the grille so some grille surgery will be require tonight . The bonehead who assembled the winch also put the sticker on backwards so I'll have to flip the cover when I get a minute. On the way home my XJ also became a teenager, hitting the 150k mark
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Had some time this afternoon so I got the rear bumper on. Other than the shackles being the wrong green everything else went smooth. I fought with the rusty bolts 6 months ago when I put the hitch in so this was one of those very rare easy jobs.

Tire carrier rubs on the rear wiper and makes the most irritating sound. I'll have to fix that this afternoon and I picked up a new set of wipers, big mods today! LOL

Jeep looks awesome btw. It's amazing what some bumpers can do for the look.
