It depends on where you live. Certain states don't allow it since its a "modification" not a "stock option".

Nice Jeep man!

did you HAVE to cut the inner fenders out on the back or could you have just took it up to the point just before they had to come out?

Jeeps looking way good! I used the same stock tuning for my rear bumper. Its way heavy duty and is just the right size. I also just finished up painting my XJ with the same krylon camo tan paint. Its pretty good paint and it looks hella good in that color. And I just noticed your rear qaurters are cut just like mine too! Our jeeps would be twins if I cut my top off! LOL And I swear this is the first time Ive seen your Jeep.

Great build, can't wait to see the finished product and some action shots. Looks like you got quite a bit more lift in the rear than the front...
