i like the red one too but the black one have more fins. more fins mean more cooling under the hood. thanks, the rock slider (on the background of the vents) will be weld on friday can't wait to put on cuz i want to see how they will look

looks good, i say keep the tire mount as it is... 100 pounds is nothing to pick up once in a while.

the tire carrier now is for temperary. my bumper fab guy said he's working on a swing out tire carrier kit for me. basicly it's going to be drill and bolt on my existing rear bumper. lowering/raising the tire carrier is like a work out maybe i should cancel my gym membership hehee. im pumped!!

so here's what was done to the jeep today install the rock sliders. add some more stickers. mount license plate and install plate light so i won't get pull over. took off bushwacker fender flares. looks like i won't be able to put the flares back on cuz the sliders are in the way. tomorrow going to do some light trimming of the fenders and spray more bedliners. i kinda like the look without the fender flares.

[quote=STUMPMI;473393]Thats got to suck...each time you open the hatch you have to walk around it. (the tire) Not to mention then you have to try to lift it from the ground everytime to put it back in place... (100lbs of ouch Stumpmi. That why his arms are so BIG. He does 4x4 tire curls all day

LOL. nah i rarely have to open the hatch door. good thing the jeep have 4 doors and the back seats fold down so i can use the cargo area if i have too. otherwise grocery or what ever i have to carry going to be load in the front or back seats. there's one other space i can use, the roof top rack. see you guys are not a good observer heheee.

so i gave my permission to use my jeep for the ad. mine was the first new design he built. i didn't paid as much as the price in the ad. he sold 7 bumpers as soon as he added the jeep pics. he's building a new rock sliders for me cuz the one in the pic^^ won't clear the bushwacker fender flare and i either leave the flares off or trim them, which i wouldn't do cuz those flares are not cheap. might be off roading next month hope he get the sliders finish in couple weeks.
