I'm totally biased, because I know the guys at Notch, but allow me to make a plug for 'em. (They have a vendor account at JeepForum.com, but not here, so...)

Bushwackers... break.
Tubes... personal preference, but nowhere NEAR as nice looking, IMHO (definitely not "semi-stock" as you seem to have been going for)

Notch Customs... practically indestructible. Did you see the torture test video on their website!? Also, a stock sort of look. Not in your face, but tons of room. I know two guys that have the Notch Customs flares, and run 4.5" lifts with 35" tires, and never rub. I love mine!

 

I watched the video, definitely impressive. I'm torn between keeping a cleaner stock look with the Notch flares or going with the Jeeptubes. It's gonna be a tough decision...

 

Peeling the Plasti-Dip today. It's time for a change, now I just have to figure out what color is next.

 

Plasti dip <3

Looks good buddy! Blaze orange the whole thing?

 

Thanks,
Blaze orange is one of the options on the table...

 

I just did mine check out my build thread!

I'm thinking about doing a crazy color for the summer though. Have to think about it.

 

Well, she's back to silver. I was all set to change colors but I kind of miss the camo green

 

Silver and blue are a good combo

 

So far the Navy Blue is in the lead, unless I go full retard and use Blaze orange...

 

Nice build man, I'm subbed... y' know us "stock" guys have to stick together

What ever happened with the monster green? I figured once you got that in you'd go with it.

 

Thanks, I figured I would get bored of it real quick. Somebody in my Jeep Club wanted it so I sold it. I was planning on being on "stage 2" by now but my IRS bill crushed those hopes. Maybe mid summer.

 

subscribed, this is awesome.

 

Nice "stock" xj brother

 

LOL, thanks Nick. Maybe the next one will stay stock...

 

AutoPal housings are here and a few 100/90W bulbs. Hopefully the harnesses get here today too so I can get these in.
