For a second there, I thought you had made it to Needle Eye Tunnel (which has been closed since before you were born)...then I realized it was Red Rocks

Am I seeing things or did you out the tie-rod on the IRO OTK system under the knuckle and flip the drag link to the top?

i was never a fan of the bedliner in previous pictures but with it out in th light i thnk it looks really good. not nearly a depressing looking as it seemed in all those garage and cloudy pictures. very nice jeep, cant wait to see the rear panels.

It has been a while since i have been on here Matt but the ZJ is looking really good man. I am glad to see you are cutting the fenders more. It would look really sweet if you turned that into a flare. you could weld some sheet metal to the fender then weld some stronger stuff to the tube. have them so they overlap and only connect with some fasteners. Of you could always put one of those pieces that allows the tube to separate on the bumper end as well. that would prevent you from having to take the fenders off with the bumper. i can almost see in my head at the angle this pic was taken. i bet the people shaping the metal for your 1/4 panel armor could make that for ya.
