So today I finally had enough of the wet carpet so I cut it all out but what is covering the trans tunnel to try and keep the noise down. I'll be rhino lining the area with out carpet as soon as im sure everything is dried up.

So I got a package in the mail today from FCZJ and I cant wait to get everything painted up and installed tomorrow. The Rad support is BEEFY as hell and very well made to say the least. The steering brace looks ****ing sweet and the welds are killer!! Thanks for the great product Neil!

Today was a decently productive day. I got the new **** painted up and installed. Overall fitment was pretty damn good right out of the box. I still had to use a vice and persuade some parts to fix just right but my jeep has taken some good hits up front off road so I'm sure that didnt help out haha. I had to enlarge one hole on the steering brace but again no big deal. Thanks again Neil aka FCZJ
