gracias!!!yeah im gonna be blacking out the inside of the surround/side marker bezel as soon as i get the right angles i want and cut my new trim,and resin jelly fill accordinglythen ill propably polish out the top and bottom horizontal trim,this along with the new clear side signal and repositioned marker lights,along with leds should give me the look im going for.there will be black wire mesh in back of the grill and i will mount my trans cooler in the center of the rad,where the 2 vertical black brackets are on the rad.then mount my tomkin,REWORKED bumper,brush guard,and fog lights(havent decided if i want them recessed behind the grill,next to the signal/markers,or mounted on the actual brush guard)measure 3 TIMES,CUT ONCE!!!LOL.

JEEPSk8, looks like you're coming along pretty well!! I'm glad I can help! Also, that's a clever idea to mount the front markers in the grill, I like that.

OverlandZJ, I'm from Altoona, PA. However, I've been up near Johnstown with it how it sits now.

I kind of like this. I'm the kind of person that would have to clean up all the gaps, but I like the idea.

Looks good and super nice work you did
