Well, this is kinda late, but I got the bumper put on with the Wrangler winch and Hellas, and it looks pretty sick. Very happy with Roxolid, the Razor bumper turned out well.



Here's a closeup



And just a quick light comparison haha





All in all, I'm very satisfied with the purchase, and can't wait to break it in this week in Highlands, North Carolina for Thanksgiving.

only place over that way that I've heard is good is tellico. its about an hour from highlands. what dates are you going to be there? if I can find a trailer, I'd maybe be interested in going to tellico for a day, depends though.

edit: nvm, tellico is still closed.

Awesome, yeah so far so good, the only thing I'd say is with 33's you HAVE to trim, cuz even with fenders removed they rub like crazy. Other than that I've had no problems with the kit, I also have the Rusty's High Steering Kit, which hasn't rendered any problems.

Thanks, and I've run them without really messing with the PSi and they've done wonderfully. Only kinda got stuck at Durhamtown when I got stuck on two wheels straddling a downhill section... It rained the night before we went and they seemed to get through the mud just fine, so I'll give them a glowing recommendation.

I pm'd you for details.

As for the jeep, another fun problem arose today. After making the 400ish mile round trip to Highlands and back, the XJ decided to kill the AC compressor in the driveway, which in turn somehow severed the serpentine belt, canceling power to the alternator, power steering, and cooling system, so it's being tended to at the moment. I hope she lives.
