The two stickers interfered with each other, if you have a spare JF sticker, ill gladly add it back...

Thanks for looking though.

Got some sliders from AlTheKiller for a good price, shot them with some paint and put them on today. He didnt have the hardware from the factory, so I just bought some heavy duty 1/2" hex head bolts from Pep Boys to mount the sliders.





Pretty easy install. This is the first time ive drilled into my tub, it was a little unnerving, because once you start drilling, there is no going back.

Absolutely LOVE them! Aggressive, cheap, and relatively quiet... All for under $100 a piece. I give them 2 thumbs WAY up.

Oh, sorry I deleted that. I'm actually thinking of picking one up to use as a spare because it seems to match the MT/R tread pretty closely.

Where did you buy them?

Another good angle...

I also painted my lug nuts black to match the wheels, but I didnt do a very good job... Oh well...

I found a guy selling a Smittybilt XRC Rear bumper with d-rings for $50... he has it in his garage and just never put it on the Jeep... He had it on craigslist on a post that was selling lots of random stuff, but no one jumped on it, so he got discouraged and lowered the price, I just happened to come across the post and now I win! Im picking it up tomorrow... Its a newer model, thats finished all the way around. Lucky me.

[AustinTJer]

Got ahold of a CB radio, some offroad lights, and a new CD player... Im installing all of them tomorrow hopefully... we will see how it goes.
