trying to decide to go with the 2x4x1/4 i have for the rear bumper or wait till i get some 3/16ths? thinkin the 1/4 inch is way too heavy but by the time i get a winch it will probally need the extra weight in the rear..the triangle swing out tire carrier is 3/16ths and must wiegh 60 lbs or so by itself lol

hey firekite..did your fender get totally trashed or was it fixable?

by the time a 35 inch tire is on it,it will be just under 200 lbs but i guess all the strong ones are as i built it like most people build them..thanks for the flowers guys..

Just put the Steering Stabilizer in.. Made a noticeable difference from the old stock one, and its much beefier and accommodates the 10.5" wide tires much better on the pavement. Can't find anywhere nearby that sells a freakin' open center cap for the LED 3rd Brake light so I pulled off the extra one from the back and will cut and make it work next to put on later once I finish some more RL work.

Extreme Metal Products.. I think I paid the same 50$ that it is listed as now on the site but it was a few years ago.

Extreme Metal Products, LLC

Also bought their steering skid at the same time so it shipped all together. Never had an issue with either product, just wish they made more stuff for our Jeeps!
