Last night I was too tired to post, but anyways I put my hidden hitch back on. The most uneven cut I've ever made in my
Life!!!!!! And I started putting my body armor panels on. They would have saved the bottom of my doors last weekend. Oh well! I'll see what abuse they can take this weekend

Here's the back, where I started the panels. For the longest time I had the ugly brackets on that are hidden under the bumper end caps. It's a good change

LOL...yeah, that offroad pinstriping provided by the trees is a beautiful thing. My poor old Jeep doesn't have much of the original paint left.

Alex, those panels are pretty sweet!!! Did make them or buy them? If you bought them let me know where from. That small section on my quarter panels is all that isn't covered by my quarter panel guards. I'd like to get a set of those.

I did the V8 tierod upgrade as well, but runnin 35's and all it just wasnt holding up. the bar was a little bent and i hated the y link setup, so i went with the best setup i could find, i got the ORO U-turn steering kit. I LOVE IT!
