looked cleaner white :/ but still looks amazing! How are the 4:10s with 35s? I was thinking about 4.56 or 4.88s once i go to 35s

I dont mind the 4:10. It's still really torquey and takes off quick at the light. Not too bad in 4lo either. If I were you go 4.88 or 4:56 if you go on the highway a lot.

Yeah I was thinking 4:56 for a good medium.

I liked it better white. White pre 97 looks awesome. But it's your jeep, so whatever makes you happy.

Oxy welding is very similar to TIG which I'm learning right now. But tig is so clean and smoke/spatter free!

Did u weld your bumper plates to the frame or did u bolt them on? I'm building a bumper and I want to bolt mine I'm just curious if the three hole where the original bumper bolted would be strong enough

I did it like that at first. Tube from bumper to plate and stock holes and bolts. Didn't like it but left it and added these supports to my hitch. Made it a lot sturdier but it's permanent. I haven't tried, but maybe the bumper and hitch can come off together..
