Yeah I had my plastidip on there for a few months. It held up for the most part cuz I put it on thick but a lot of places kept coming off and I wanted something more durable so I used the bedliner. However, Bedliner is permanent. Lol.

You can do a lot of that pretty cheap! Pretty easy to find 60/44 combos and junkyards with 4:10 gears. Prob spend $250! Just gotta look!

Damn. I wonder how hard it'd be to install along with some long arms?

Easier, all about where you put the brackets and what long arms you have.

I also installed some smoked corners/turn signals that I got off eBay. I need to wire up my HIDs but the courtesy lights on my XJ are causing problems so I gotta remove that resistor or whatever before I can run my HIDs.. Here are some more pics
How did you bend the metal rails? Thinking of building a similar bumper and using metal rails instead of tubing as well
