Finally got the CF stickers in place, but I'll have to order some more when I chop the top! I believe this adds 2 horse power, from what I've been told! lol

Thanks all!
So here's a problem I'm gonna run into. I bought a tow bar to pull my XJ down to moab last year, but I don't think its safe to mount it to the bumper skin after I trim the skin to fit under the backbone! So I'm thinkin about making basically a small set of shackles that will bolt to my D-ring holes & to the tow bar ends.... What do you guys think? Should work right?

Most of it is .125 wall but they have MEGA scrap piles, so I got the angle iron & back plating in 1/4" thick for cheap!!! Me & donkeypunch01 got enough for both of ours for $107 total

boat sides are awesome, but wouldnt want on one i drove around alot just because they dont look that easy to get into. Nice thing about bolt on ones is you can take them off, sell them, fix them if they break, or switch to the weld in. Me starting off with the weld in, kinda leaves me ***** in, cant go back
