I bought front and rear JCR bumpers last night, and will buy a winch once I get her on the road. Just so I know how much money I have left over from insurance. I am starting to work soon, so all money will go towards the jeep.

I need to adjust my longarms, get it aligned and weld on my trackbar mount. After all that I will check out the pitman arm and all that. As of now I am not to worried about it though.

Alright I will, no add-ons just yet. I will probably end up sticking the spare(when I get one) in the back anyway. Plus I couldn't spend over 700 on a rear bumper. :laugh:

Just a quick update, I have not heard anything from JCR yet. They are off until Jan. 3rd, so I will email them sometime then to see the progress on them.

I recently installed a Rockford Fosgate p2 12" sub, alpine 500w amp, and will be getting four kicker speakers tomorrow to install as well.

Got a new hatch the the junkyard yesterday and installed it. I will have to paint it some time, but will probably wait until spring unless we get a warm spell soon.



Also got my insurance check of 2000. 1100 is already spent, so for now I will wait to see what I need for inspections and then spend it on some tires hopefully!

Well thats what I thought at first, but if you ever look on TJ flares; which were on the front, you will see a little lip on the back side of the flares. Well the previous owner just trimmed up where that lip was.

It sucks that he did it now that I changed the flares, but I got over it.

Nice bumper choice. Looks real nice man. But I see larger flares on the rear too. Bout some pics of those on there too. Are they just on the rear or you get them installed on the fronts too.
