thats the plan, going to trim the rear/bottom of the bed and have it wrap around. kinda kicking around some tail lights guards like the zj trail ready bumper but that might be a bit overkill and look funny. axles are the next on the list. finally got my yukon pinion bearing puller and a case spreader so i can tackle the job myself.

case spreader is the propper way to get the correct carrier bearing pre-load, and when i was talking to the tech at ARB while getting it rebuilt he said alot of problems with the air lockers not engaging are caused by not enough carrie bearing preload.

This thread makes me want an MJ even more now then i did before especially with the 97+ grill, was thinking about doing that on my 94 XJ too honestly. Really nice rig man i wouldn't consider that thing mild at all.
