Durango box in. Not much to describe, it just bolts right in. Steering feels better on the pavement, I'll try to get it in the mud this afternoon and see how it feels.

I have no idea. I just asked my parts guy to call and that's the price I got. The one ton setup is cool, I had it on my lasy XJ. This one I drive every day and the dead spot on the one ton setup is not fun on the parkway.

Boss is on vacation this week so I did a little multitasking and did my cut n fold while still working. Khakis and Polos don't make the best cutting attire, but it was better than staying late. Yes I'm stubborn, and yes I will make the stock flares work even if it kills me .

Went flareless on my last one, but I really like the painted flares so I'm gonna try to keep them. BTW we're trying to put together a Jackson/Wharton trip on Sunday July 14th. You in?

Never got back to you on this. Weekends are tight for a lil between work, the jeep and wedding. It'll be another month to two before I'm up and ready for the trails again
