I used this trim on all 4 fenders. I still have about 4 feet left of it.

Got the dana 44 all done! Welded the Rock Krawler rear truss for the rear long arm. Removed the old shock mounts. Put a Ruffstuff diff cover with a clear coat, and had the axle painted black. Just waiting for brake parts to come then it will be ready! Ordered a pinion seal while I'm doing all this work to the axle haha.

Over the weekend I did something well worth doing!
Rock sliders.... just in time for hammers!
Made them from 2x6 steel, and angle iron to hold them.
I also put some new IronMan4x4fab motor mounts in as well! What a difference!

Been focusing and working on the rear. King coil overs are in but with out the springs installed.
I'm currently plating the rear and working on my custom hydraulic bump stop mounts, that mount in the frame.
Should be a clean setup and ride smooth

Got the bump stops all done! 
What a difference! Way smoother in the rough stuff and crawls like a champ!
Also started to weld in the dirtbound offroad rear frame plates. Everything is coming along very well

Nice build. I love the Rock Krawler stuff. I had their 6" server duty long arm kit on my TJ. it was amazing the abuse it would take and the amount of flex I had.

Well, while I'm waiting on the Rock Krawler rear arms to get here, I've been thinking to do an axle swap. From the low pinion to a high pinion. Would put a Artec truss on it and C Gussets.
After I get both axles done and finish linking the rear, I want to move to 35" BFG KM2's and Method race wheels

Time to link it! Just need to buy the correct springs for the coilovers now.
I also got some front led bulbs for the turn signals on order
