    Those wheels are a perfect fit! They're really growing on me for XJs. Nice job on the bumper too. Wish I had a winch to template so I could make one.

    Sent via messenger pigeon. I talk, he types.

    The black Hardrocks look way better than just the plan jane silver... That bumper is definitely good looking... You still running the stock airbox, or have you already gone to a cowl or some other intake format?? If you're not running the stock airbox you could mount the control box for the winch in that area..

    Haven't been on in a while, the page was timing out before it would load. I've got the rear bumper, lower quarter guards, and box tubing rockers done... I'm ready to move on from all the welding and grinding... I also got the gas tank skid installed.

    That rear bumper looks great! Well all of it looks pretty great, but the rear bumper has me thinking I need to build myself one kinda like it.

    Rear bumper looks very nice Jon. We have been having issues of long loading times. Not sure where the hold up is or if Tony can fix it

    Yes you did. But does look good though and taking lots less time than fabbing your own stuff

    I've been busy working on another project for my brother, were doing a complete 97+ swap on a 87 2 wheel drive MJ. First thing first is fixing the floor board, other then that its rust free.
