Here is the progress of the jeep through the 2 years that i have owned it.

Chris, have you gotten long-arms yet?

Looks like your gonna need some major fender hacking to get those tires to stuff.

think of it this way: if he doesnt hack the fenders, he can return his new bumpstops and get some cash back

loose the chrome lights, chrome wont get you home

I will eventually trade them in for black ones or just upgrade them or take a wire brush to them and paint them black. But that will be a while since they are not that important to off roading.

I need to trim the finders so that I can just turn the wheel all the way. You up for spending a couple hours to help me trim the finders? The front ones are the only ones that really need to be trimmed.

No but I might have some on it if I can make enough money over the summer.

lose them all together, just sell them

trim the rear to cut notches all around (no on the pinch welds) and hammer the tabs under

IIRC, you stand a strong chance of snapping the stock c-channel arms under full flex with the amount of lift you have. I'll be fabbing LAs for mine over the summer. You used 2" lift puck with ZJ coils up front right?

Yeah RE calls it a 2" coil spacer though and when you look for zj coils look for some out of the latest model zj you can find so that you get as much lift as possible. I want to get TNT's long arm set up but I'm sure how it will ride on the road, so I will have to get a new DD or get a different system.

But it'll get you laid.

those stupid ass lights will also piss off whoever's spotting you at the top of root hill at night.

V8 zj coils have the higer spring rate, look for v8 coils, long arms will ride better than short arms, I wouldn't worry about it.
