I cut them in, then welded in a lip to mount it to. The hole isn't that far off just whittle on it till it fits... A little bit of body work too.

The last thing I really needed for the setup to camp this summer was a regear. My 456's are in and I'm hoping to get them under the jeep next week.

I need to get the winch out of the grill so I don't have airflow problems when pulling the teardrop so I started a new winch bumper.

Any progress on the J10 project?
Also, if you ever flip a nice comanche, please let me know. I'd be willing to make that drive/flight to get my hands on a nice one.

I actually sold the J10, just didn't have time to work on it. I did buy the cream one back the other day but I think I'm going to keep it. Got the bumper finished up and on... On to the long arms.

Since I'm going JK 44's under this jeep this winter I had to go to stock JK wheels for the offset. To keep the tires somewhat under the jeep with the extra width. I liked the Hardrock wheels but not the silver, so I got around to painting them this week.

Thanks Bugout, I put alot of ugly on my lower quarters on the Rubicon this summer so I started on some quarter armor today. Then hopefully get my new rear bumper to match up..
