oops missed that, ill grab them today then.

One or the other needs to be trimmed :)   


id rather see the flares on, and then trim the bumper to fit the truck as that is removable.

got it..

bumper looks good... wouldn’t want to ruin it :)  sheet metal is repairable...
XJ looked great as it was mounted... I forgot the PO had an ARB bumper on there.. fenders must have been trimmed...

stock XJ/MJ front end have the flares extending bellow the bumper turning into an air damn that runs the length of the bumper.
Don’t need all the crap…

Almost time for you to buy a enclosed trailer to avoid the awesome salt bath on the fresh painted jeeps

That would require me to get a truck that could tow it, and I don't tow enough to warrant..


I'll be driving this truck year round... Salt is enevidable.
