What rack is that? I'm not really a big fan of roof racks, but yours doesn't look big and bulky like most of them. I'd like to get a small one like that, especially since mine is a 2 door.
Jeep is looking good, those trimmed fenders really make a big difference.

bought the rack on C/L for 40 bucks, they guy said it was this one http://www.discountramps.com/rooftop...tm#accessories which is looks the same but mine came with the wind defuser, it was unopened and defiantly brand new but no brand name anywhere.. haven't been able to find the exact make/model.. he said he ordered it over a year ago... it is the same as the one in the link minus the front wind plate... it is a tad small but i got it to hold my full size spare which fits perfectly...

Wow Bro! That bumper looks pretty good after you cut the lower valance off. I can vouch for it being a 2" lift. I am the friend that cut and rolled and lifted it. If anyone is thinking of going with the spray on truck bed liner just make sure you mask everything off cause it is hell getting that stuff off once it is on. Sand the area to be sprayed with 80 grit paper then go to town. Make sure you use green masking tape instead of the white like we did only because the white doesn't seal up against the body as well.

The pictures are of mine...

just remove the the bolts holding the plastic ends, drill out the rivets in the center sections and remove... used a skill saw to rough cut the shape and a razor blade to fine trim it... took all of 45 mins to do... and it makes a huge difference...
