Do the fenders look bad? I just don't really like the look of the tires sticking out past the fenders. Ideas

Honestly I wanted those when I first started on my jeep and after reading up on them if you plan on doing ANY wheeling they will limit flex and crack easily... you can get the RUBICON flares which will give u added coverage instead of the bushcrackers

but again it's YOUR jeep and you should do what YOU want and YOU like lol

Well I took one of your ideas so far and painted the bezels black. I also installed some OEM fogs that I bought from PoopFaceKillah(thanks again)

looks good! You've made some nice progress really quickly. What size wheel spacers did you get? It seems like they made quite a bit of difference.

Sprayed my chrome KC's black, mounted them and installed new aux fuse panel with relays, and installed 4 Daystar switches. Really it was about 3 nights work, But turned out great

Hey man quick question about your daystar switches - did they just fit in the factory blanks perfectly?
