You re use the four org. holes and the foward most hole thats not threaded, you need to drill and tap.

alrighty. I dont foresee it in the near future since Im running stock rims, they look nice(to me at least) I am saving for college(bushwackers are $400.....) and I have other priorities over flares such as but not limited too: SYE(in the very very near future like next week...), high steer, rear locker maybe, and a few other odds and ends.... But if I do for some reason I'll let you know asap... Id love to support a fellow cherokee forumer with a set of nice flares.

speaking of which, I buffed my oxidzed trim pieces. It made them better but I still didn't like it. so I painted them with matte black rustolium. I didnt do the bumper end caps yet because Im still decided If I should or not.... I prolly will.

ok been a while. few small updates. I got rid of the rubicon stickers. thought I'd like them but decided that they weren't for me.... also updraded mt headlights to ipf h4 conversion headlights with IPF fatboy xenon bulbs. night and day difference. I will still need to upgrade the wiring harnesses to get the max light out of them. I also bought a bunch of 1" EMT conduit for a roofrack build. I'll be welding that up some time.

ok so it's been a slow build with highschool and work and getting ready for college and what not. BUT, I just installed my discos. got some flex pics. took the stupid rubicon stickers off(I loved them for about 2 weeks then they were just blah...). I got my flowmaster and 2.5" tailpipe on. I'm slowly making progress. My girlfriend was like, "Is your jeep DONE now?" I just laughed at her. I'm just starting. I took pics of the flex on my girlfriend's brother's phone so when he emails them to me, I'll post them up.
