thanks steve, but considering how much of a pita it was to mount my gas tank skid n rear bumper n the fact id rather not drop my tank just to cut n fold ill prolly mount my lower rear 1/4 guards. im sure sooner or later ima needa drop my tank for a bigger issue and ill cut n fold then. i still need to trim a little up front as rob made the flares to allow the most flex possible.

so got a few things done this week, finally got around to installing my JCR rear lower 1/4 guards, and mounted to headlight guards to my front bumper for a little added protection. also removed my wheel spacers all around and trimmed my front fenders to match the flares i had custom made. here are pics of the bumper and lower 1/4 guards.

so after being pulled over by a state cop last week who told me i had 24 hours to get an up to date inspection sticker, i went the next day only to get a rejection sticker bc the shop i normally go too is being watched and actually had a few sting operations go down there thus leaving them to be super strict with me. this i was not aware of when they took my jeep into the bay, anways long story short after fixing my ebrake so it works better then when i got the jeep and straightening out my pass headlight, taping the hole in my muffler and getting new horns on the jeep, and going to 3 different inspection shops trying to find a place to pass me for height since i now had fixed everything else i finally went from

so i finally got my new american racing rims mounted n balanced using equal to my 35s, n put them back on the jeep, and had my new mud king mounted to my spare crager soft 8. have some pics of everything mounted but first things first... when i went to pick up the jeep they told me as they were driving it into the shop they heard a noise coming from my front end n asked me if they wanted me to take a look at the front end while i was there considering the amount of issues iv had with my front end i jumped on this, my steering ended up being completely fine but we did finally find the issue, my front driveshaft has about a quarter inch to a half inch of play in it while we all know the amount of play should be closer to a 10th of an inch. anyways i dont beleive its my front yoke, the shop said they beleive its my R&P which means ill be needing to regear asap. does anyone think it could be something different n less costly lol? i have 4.56 gears already n just waiting to buy install kits so regearing is more of a time n money issue then anything. but i dont wanna regear yet if i dont havta. anyways here r some pics enjoy..
