Agreed. Your jeep is one of my favorite on the fourm (not to sound creepy lol). So those are the bushwacker flat flares?

so i have a question. i like to run my cherokee through the automated car wash, does any one know if the busch wacker flat fenders will hold up? Or any of the modified fenders for that matter. Do the metal tube fenders hold up to the car wash?

I ran mine through the car wash, and mine are painted, and I had no isses with the flares. They have been scraped, covered in mud, washed, sprayed and washed, and they are holding up great for me.

exactly. I figured they could handle the weather and the trails fine, but I was not sure if they would hold the paint all that well. But the primer they suggest is perfect and I am very impressed.

Without swing shackles and soft layered leafs, coil springs will almost always have more flex.... but the leafs with take more of a beating and keep the truck more stable for sand and really deep mud. So really, it is more so, what are you going to do with your jeep krawlthis?

im piecing together a lift around 5-6 inches. consisting of re 5.5 coils, track bar and mount, 3 link on a d44 with some fox or bilistien shox. 63" chevy leafs on an 8.8 streched about 3 or 4 inches. relocate gas tank inside cab. drove on 35 road terrains with some 37 krawlers for the trails. that good stuff... pretty much just waiting on some money to visit rubicon express than i will be all set
