Current bumper preference is Rusty's with shackle mounts ... http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-bumpers/rustys-jeep-bumpers/rustys-bumper-trail-54-wide-front-tj-lj-wranglers-rubicon-unlimited.html


Not sure how that is a bad idea. Simple. Inexpensive.

Ryan, to the eagle eyes need a special relay to function as a blinker? I don't think so but other "kits" need special relays. Nothing is listed on your site so I'm thinking no...

Here is the Mrs approved plan:


Repair damage
Grill/Hood -- used from Harrison $275 post shipping.
DIY tube fender from Black widow -- $270 (all four fender/flares not just front)
Hood tie downs -- $16 because I went with pins. Don't ask.
Bumper -- $317.67 shipped (AtoZ Fab front bracket + clevis, rear builders kit, tire carrier kit + spindle upgrade)

"Upgrade"
Ruff Stuff Lower control arms -- $209.95 shipped (order 61434)
Lower control arm mounts -- $60 for pair Rusty's RC-LCM55
M4 time for LCA -- Mike?
Rear fender/flare -- part of trail tube kit
Lifetime LED Eagle eyes -- all marker/blinkers up front $80 including relay
Lifetime LED headlights -- not sure which one, but looks like $320 for the pair


That's the plan anyway.

Looks like Black Widow Gear is identical to Trail Tubes and cheaper...

i like this parts list.

you are lucky that you will go straight to ruffstuff control arms....we all wasted a ton of money on crap. 1.25" heim on one end and polly on the other is the way to go. i would recommend making them adjustable on both ends (with LH and RH threads) for adjustment purposes. 

regular link mounts will be good for the LCA mounts on the axles. get rid of the cam adjuster

I've never seen an adjustable poly end.  I disagree with Spencer on this anyway because you'll have to keep track of two jamb nuts that will loosen and then the tube will turn and mess with any kind of setting you had.  They aren't that hard to drop for adjustment.

sMike, I'm not finding the right kind of control arm mounts. All seem to have slotted adjusting holes and no "skid" type reinforcement. The closest I found are these from Rusty's. http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-suspension/jeep-suspension-control-arms-accessories/jeep-control-arm-accessories/rustys-control-arms-jeepspeed-heavy-duty-lower-axle-mounts-pair.html


Are those right for the job?

Mrs approved front AND rear bumpers as long as rear has receiver to tow utility trailer. I think she's coming around.
