Hey Snowsport
I was just wondering if you painted your fenders they look a lot darker than mine...may b its just the light but I really want to paint mine black. I think the contrast of the black to the red will just pop then i want a lightbar and a rock lizard gecko roof rack itll look sick.

but anyway let me know bout the fenders... thanx

They're just regular Sport fenders. When I clean it at the spray wash, I use the foam brush to scrub the whole car, then I use spray wax on the whole Jeep, except the windows. Seems to keep the plastic flares and other bits looking new.
I think it was tommudd that recommended Back to Black, so I have some of that to try out this spring when I do a driveway detailing....
Now, close up there's a lot of little scratches and nicks in the flares....which suits a Jeep, IMO.

Does anyone run the black front (steel?) trim packers made by rocky road?? When i ordered from their site i ordered the trim packer..thinking it was the complete OME kit(front & rear yellow rubber) however upon delivery it was one front 3/8" black metal trim spacer made by rocky road...so I ordered another one for the other side :lol:

Anyone run these? (On a side note: I guess OME doesn't make that trim packer kit for KJs?)

That's the same as what I just installed yesterday :lol:

(Thanks to some help :wink:

About 15mm, it was 545mm centre of hub to out side flare and it's now 560mm all around the rig. THis is the tread that I was using for help.

Well, I've got a nice veggie garden I'll let you know when it's time for harvest. I just figured I'd ask. Thought maybe someone would have it on their computer to post somewhere or send without too much effort. Just remember, those store bought tomatoes are never any good!

Edit: The best sandwich in the world is a toasted BLT with a home grown tomato.

dont have it on computer, just have it drawn out on a sheet of paper. Agree with ya on growing your own, i grow my own veggies, tomatoes, peppers etc as well! Wish they were ready NOW!!! First tomato never makes it in the house, eat it on the way!!!

yes anytime you change anything on the suspension raising or lowering it you should do an alignment. You will notice quite a difference in heighth after installing them also or should I know I did

I actually bought some of those when I ordered new strut plates and I've been wondering...when I put the strut back together do I replace the stock upper isolator with the energy suspension one or install both?

Anyone have these?
