Do you have a write up on these or any pics?

No I don't. I think there's a write up in the write up section. Like seven dollar disconnects or something like that. But it super easy. Remove nut from the lower part of the sway bar end link. Use a ball joint press to press out the bolt. Its pressed in with splines spit wont come out easy. Advanced has presses to rent. They're a little pricey if you want to take it home. You still get the money back but you do have to front it. We used it in their parking lot for free. Once That bolt is out it was just 1/2" by 3" long clevis bolts with a washer on either side and a cotter pin. Quite easy except.that those pressed in bolts just take some time.

They are squeaky though. Thankfully the radio covers that up nicely.

I got it from a vendor here Signworx. It's like 12 bucks shipped to your door. I get a lot of compliments on it.

Those are actually tj flares. After I cut and folded the rear fenders I held up the flares where I wanted them to be. The front action attached to the rear door. I marked where I needed to cut them into two peices and then used double sided tape and black rtv sealant to attach them to the rig. Its pretty easy just a little time consuming making sure you get everything lined up and cut right.

Looks great buddy! I used the same Rustoleum truck bed coating on my lower side panels the other day. Turned out great. How is the coating holding up? Still good?

So far its held up great. No chips or fading. Did you use primer undebeat? Ive heard that makes the difference.

Thanks for the nice words! I'm hopefully getting a used jcr bumper in a few weeks from a guy who is parting his rig out. I'm stoned about that!
