Option 1 would end up being similar to AM's B class TJ- highlined with 3" flares:

Option 2 would be similar to this (but in all aluminum):

Option 3 would look something like the Carolina Truggie JK up front, but with the Campbell highline hood and have those guys at CT bend me some tubes to protect it:

I would just leave it as is, but I rub on the outer tubes (flares) and rear of the wheel wells on the front fenders, so an adjustment needs to be made.

Option 2 or 3, IMO.

However, buy local. Chris Durham hood ftw

You have an X Star. **** you.

im so jealous of that boat. i bet that thing throws an awesome wake! But you could also do a durham hood if you wanted? thats a little closer so you maybe wouldn't have to pay shipping and try to get him to take you on a wheelin trip to hush hole.

also if you get your cage redone i may be interested in picking that up off of you, cause i'm not too far away from you.

We had 6 adults and 1,000lbs of ballast tonight, the wake was scary big.

I actually talked to Chris D about that hood like a year ago. I think he is only an hour and a half from me, I need to swing by there sometime to check it out. I really don't know which way to go. I like option 2 if it were cleaned up some more- IE body match paint and some inner fender work.

Option 2 if it were me, but Im bias towards flareless.

im sure that wake was awesome! i'm real big into it wakeboarding too and i think whatever you do will look great! but i vote a durham hood with a little tube work around it

Those durham hood do look awesome and I would really like to see all the little extra step you would take to make it look great on your jeep. But I think option 1 fits your style of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

**Louie4** · 06-29-2012, 06:42 AM

I like Option 2. Then again, I don't think any of them would look bad so you win either way.

**Imped** · 06-29-2012, 06:46 AM

So uhhhh.....how about a wheeling/wakeboarding trip in NC?

MountainMan864 · 06-29-2012, 07:14 AM

Wow. I am super jealous of the new boat. How much did that set ya back. 35k? Did yall win the lottery or something.

**Danno6102** · 06-29-2012, 07:38 AM

I vote option #2, those look sick!

I'd be down for an NC wheeling trip. Tried to put something together the last week of May, but no takers, so we just went to the beach all week.

Name the weekend, we can break our jeeps during the day and wakeboard into the night. My only rule is that if you wake surf, you have to pound a beer without holding the rope- it's a REDLYNER tradition

. I have spare bedrooms, so in theory, you and a group would only need to pay for gas to get here and maybe some Jack Daniels.

We used to have wheeling parties and BBQs in Colorado all of the time, I'm not sure why that didn't transfer over to North Carolina. Either way, just let me know.

Unfortunately, X-stars and not that cheap. I have been prepping to get this boat for a long time- I sold my Z06 and my Centurion wakeboard boat to buy this one.

Gone:

**Imped** · 06-29-2012, 08:30 AM

Dude, I'm all about ropeless surfing, catching AND opening the brew one-handed, and chugging. That's a staple move out here as well. Centurions are nice boats but Stars are serious. LOL @ $35k, I think you can spend that much on options.

Enough OT. Over and out.

**B2CARPEN** · 06-29-2012, 09:19 AM

I would seriously consider fabbing up the fenders / corners you already have, similar to what James did to his front TNT fenders (which are now on Danno's jeep). Many people are pulling away from the wide fenders these days and running flareless or negative flare fenders, which I think looks so much better having the fenders hug the curve of the hood. I'm sure no matter what you decide, it's going to look fantastic with a redlyner twist.

As for a NC wheeling / wakeboarding trip, count me in. It's been a few years since I've put my CWB board to good use.
