They don't look bent. The rake on your the body is make them look unlevel. Just compare them to your frame. If they are level with the frame, they are good. Looks fine to me.

A lift will level you out and take care of the rake. Sounds like a good enough excuse to me.

Added a couple of washers to my skid plate to get rid of a few vibrations (and not the Marky Mark kind). Changed the oil and hooked up some not so bright hella lights.

This makes no sense. It's not body rake; it's suspension rake. Meaning the front suspension is lower than the rear causing the front of the vehicle to sit lower than the rear, including the frame. If he lifts the front suspension then yes, the front of the body will raise up but the frame will be lifted the same amount. Most likely the reason they sit crooked like that is that they were not installed properly.....

Just received an Olympic spare tire carrier that I ordered. I installed 285/75 16's and the new spare hit my rear bumper (by an inch) so I temporarily modified my stock rack to allow my new spare to fit. I will take picks and post when it's done. New rack has a black crackle finish. Looks beefier than the stocker.

Washed and detailed the outside after wheeling in on Halloween with DDOffroad. Now I just have to detail the engine, and the inside, which is still covered in mud.

Awesome! How'd those STTs do? I heard from Drew that it was complete carnage. I went the 24th and it was a wild time. I'll have my trail report updated in my sig shortly.

Oh.. yeah... pics or it didn't happen haha.

That's one of the reasons I skipped the Halloween run. I knew it would be too much of a mud pit. That, and the money pit (gf)
I need to try to straighten my front bumper tonight. It got customized crawling on to the tires at the Cliff's.

Pulled off the fender flares and painted them black. I knew they were faded, but didn't realize it was that bad until I laid a painted one next to an unpainted one. I will mount them up tomorrow.
