Thanks man I really like it!
Ok so I finally changed my oil today and after 23,000 miles and it still looked really good but for sure needed a change she runs a tad smoother but not a big difference. Amsoil is a great product thats for sure!

Hey man, nice progress, I've always been curious as to how people with ZJ's trim fenders.
Keep it up, loving that belly skid.
Just a thought, if you want to get rid of the side molding and still have your protection, you could just Herculine from one of the body lines on down, I did it to mine and really love it.
If you like it tho, keep it!

Looks great so far. I think you got a hell of a trade. I got my 8.8 in a week or so ago and it is the best mod I have done so far.

thanks guys!! I am yet to put in my 8.8 still I need to order 4.88s and install kits. That skid does rock i have beat the **** out of it with no issues at all.
for the trimming all you need is a cut off wheel and some ***** lol the fronts are easy the rears are a bit more involved.

Well Yukon 4.88s and master install kits are paid for along with some 2x4 .25 wall for the mini boat sides!! East coast gear supply hooked it up for sure. Big thanks to Chase the owner for great service and pricing.

Well I got pretty far today on the passenger side and I must say a plasma cutter is the way to go when doing a boat side saved me a few hours at least. What really takes a lot of time is cutting and reshaping the A and C pillars then re-welding them **** that thin *** sheet metal.
first cut was with a sawsall to oper her up and take a look
the C pillar area before any cutting was done the is just with the outer skin removed
the A pillar before any real cutting was done
under side of A pillar area
B pillar prior to cutting
C pillar after being cut and modified
A pillar during cutting and rework
view after 90% of the cutting they are cut as high as i can go with out cutting the doors or floor pans
