OK, what I've accomplished this week...

Fabbed up a mount for the the third brake light out of some scrap diamond plate. I'm legal again!

Sprayed the Front bumper and Sliders with Hamerite paint. The black just made the JK to dark to me, and the color looks close to the Argent on the wheels. I also used some gray nonskid tape to create a step area. Rear bumper may get done this weekend depending on motivation.

Then finally got off my duff about my fenders. Since the high clearance set that I want is still on back order, I decided to take matters into my own hands...

So I started taping and laying out the lines.

Took a deep breath. Started cutting...

Sanded down the cuts, and threw on some of the door edge molding that you can pick up at any auto parts store.

Finished!

35's are tiny!!!

Is there more to this, or is this just "in general". Inside joke maybe?

Did you ever swap in the front 44 on that?

daspes · **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:35 pm

No since they tripled in price I've got my eye out for a used one. Though the new 30's are strong enough for 35's, so it's not a super rush.

Man that sucks that they jumped so much. People are always selling them off their rubi though and that 30 will do for now. What do the 4 doors weigh anyway?

4,100 lbs before all the extra junk≥

You will be amazed at how quickly all that extra junk adds up. When I am loaded up for a 3 day trip in my TJ I tip the scales at just over 5,000#.

BTW, very nice job on the flares! I love the way it looks!

htkrph · **Posted:** Tue Feb 24, 2009 7:39 pm

thats awesome! the flares came out really good.

Thanks all, The CB went in today. Pretty happy with the install. Mounted the Antennae inside the liscense plate mount. Pics to follow some time this week, busy next few days.

Were you getting rub on the fenders with the 35s?

daspes · **Posted:** Tue Mar 03, 2009 12:56 am

No, But I hadn't had the need to disco yet either. Don't think I would have then either, but doesn't hurt to be safe, besides, I like the Hi Clearance look.
