Good work getting everything cleaned up. The screw in the washer bottle is real common, even when the instructions warn the installer. lol You just got a new washer bottle or did you patch the POs mistake? Works either way. Really like that rear bumper with the quarter panel guards.

I grabbed a bottle from the JY a while ago, just finally got around to putting it in. I love the bumper and when I get my welder I'm gonna build another one for my red 2 door

So I ended up finding a wrecked '00 with a nice 5.5" lift and almost new 33" pro comp MTs along with a host of other goodies like a 231 with an SYE installed and a smooth running 120k mile 4.0L all for less than what I was about to spend on a lift, TC rebuild/SYE install and wheels n tires

Also ordered my Bilstien 5100's today. Decided against the 5150's as I don't really need them.
