Have a link to these relocaters?

Nice lookin ride, what I'm wanting to do with mine... just in another color

Looks awesome man! I highly suggest trimming off your front bumper, air dam, plastic thing, "for lack of a better name", and move your lights to the top of your bumper. I did it on my xj and love it. Also, how well do those sliders work? I thought just bolting a thick piece of steel to the rocker wouldn't hold up?
