I'm at 5.5 with 35"MTR's. Trimmed for BW Flat fender flares. Just enough cut for me. I'm happy with the looks.

Liking where this build is going.

I was skeptical about subbing to this thread at first. Now that we're talking high end parts I'm over it haha. Jeep is really nice, I'm jealous. Keep the updates coming as they are available.

PS: Hello from Middle TN. I swear the blue XJ you had I was about to come down to Chatt to take a look. Glad I didn't after your description ha.

The bumper is basically done...but got all the way to the shop and realized that they don't provide new bolts for the original 8 mounting points...so hopefully I can get back with those and get the mounts welded up and get it on.
