Price is one of the main reasons I went with this one.. I was going to get the weld it yourself kit but no time, too much OT at work

Installed the JCR rear bumper and frame tie ins today. Also replaced my stripped out stock nutstrips for theirs. I ordered the integrated lower quarter armor but they sent me the non-integrated version.. So waiting on that to get fixed. But in the meantime here's a couple quick pics.

The top photo shows how the tie in brackets work with shackle relocation brackets. You just have to install the JCR brackets upside down.

That was my first choice also, but with the integrated lower quarters (when they get here) I'll have much more protection. If I still have the itch for a tire carrier I'll more than likely end up with the hitch mounted knucklebone.

I feel you on that front. I'm in the same boat as far as OT goes... keeps me from catching up on a lot of projects and hinders a lot of fun being had.

Thanks man, I have the integrated lower rear quarter armor in the mail right now. So once that gets here it'll beef it up a bit more. I'm more than happy with the JCR

Lower quarter armor came in a couple days ago, had some time to put them on. Heading up to Big Bear tomorrow so might be putting them to good use!

Took it out for a bit of a shakedown in Big Bear. Not many pics, but I liked these two!

Definitely need to rework my front bumpstops, maybe a hockey puck or two will do the trick.
