Not drunk but Beasley is cracking me up tonight. :rofl:

I just looked it up and WOW thats some stretching. I'm guessing your doing the comp corners along with it
I'm not saying I'll use it all..... but I plan to still use a track bar in the rear (most likely) so I may need a little more room and DON'T want to be fighting with any tank clearance issues. Oh and I'm strongly against the comp cut for my rig. The max cut like Mike's might work though. I also have never needed even close to 10.5 gallons of fuel on any of my outings so I'm not worried about that. And if I ever think I need to be I'll carry extra fuel.

Had a great independence day. We did the parade again and had a huge turn out with 14 vics.


Got our stack up to 5 jeeps


Went for a trail ride afterwards but since we've been getting a fair amount of rain lately most of it was washed out making it difficult to climb even the easiest obstacle. I got some trail damage as well, it pretty much ruin the rest of the day.


After four years I finally damaged my rocker panel :(. I did it on an obstacle I knew I shouldnt have been on.



Its not terrible just a little upsetting. Time for rocker guards:cheers2:

Ok so after some thinking time I've decided to go with Moab Fab's rear corners with 6" is stretch but I need to figure out a place for my fuel bezel.

Option 1: Adjust the hole slightly from the stock location keeping it on the drivers side.

Or....

Option 2: Perform the YJ fuel bezel mod. Get a YJ fuel bezel and move it to the rear where my license plate is.
