Looks great! I love those wheels and tires.

David, is it me or does the back of my KJ sit up a little higher than that? That must be the difference between the OME rear springs and the Skyjackers previously used in the kit.

There actualy is a ton a great places to go. Losts of river crossings. There a a few places you can drive up onto glaciers. I am making a big trip the end of Nov with a bunch of other Jeepers. There is only one other lifted KJ going. I will take some pics and post them when I get back. We are going up by some volcanoes and glaciers.

I did the pinch weld behind the front tire. the only other rubbing I get is a little on the black trim under the front bumper when I am in reverse and full lock. I havn't had a chance to stuff them yet to see if I rub then. I am going to take a heat gun to the trim this weekend.

It took me a long time to get the nerve to trim. I was going to do the heat gun but considering it's going to be stuffed pretty good I just went ahead and took a Dremel to it.

I had to make three cuts :wink:

First one was the "Mr. Optimistic" cut. Waaaaay too little.
Next one was "I hope this is enough" cut. Little better, but still rubbing.
Last one was the "This had better be enough or I'm ripping the whole thing out" cut.

At least with the 05 we don't have the fog lights to worry about behind the trim. I am sure I will probably have to do the same thing. :wink:
