I got done with it and took it for a test drive, 5 min later I got pulled over for bumper height lol, I explained to him that i literally just got done working on it. He asked me to get out, whipped out his tape measure and the bumper is 27.5" off the ground and the law says it has to be 25" or less. He was nice about it and let me off with a warning! I will just put the trailer hitch back on lol

How it sits today
The Jeep looks great. Nice job. The cop was probably just fishing. Some cops will find an excuse to pull you over to check for other things, DUI, drugs, etc. Once he saw you were clean he was done..

Thanks, I had it aligned yesterday drives down the road great! I still need to install the transfer case drop, there is a very little vibration at 70.

I can see how the mods can be addicting!!! lol

Well it has been awhile since an update, with in the next month i plan on ordering a lunchbox locker for the front and some heavier duty bumpers.

I like this one for the front Probably go with one that has a built in reciever.

I had the exact same problem with my heater, there's this little relay/ thermostat thing under the pass side glovebox or something, I replaced it and it worked great.

Yeah I got both my bumpers and rack shipped to me for 780. I thought that was a great price, especially for how strong they are.

cragers are dirt cheap and hold up really well wheeling. search craigslist there are always good deals on tires!
