Anyone do this??? I was ready to drop everything..drive to rusty's shop and kick him square in the danglers!!!! no hardware($30 from lowes)....no instructions....stuff didn't line up....first attempt...the front was 1" lower than the rear, so it sloped and looked like heck. Hole placement on the brackets is terrible............. 2 1/2 hours for one side, and had to cut an extra hole in the "frame" to try and get nuts on bolts.

how to fix it....Welded the stinkers on the unibody....still gotta stitch weld the pinch though

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

i can got on and really curse a man's company...but i'll keep my cool. I'm sure others had better experiences intalling these.

:evil: :evil: :x :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :!:

CD....they look good though, so I'm happy in that sense. :D


Prolly saved about $250 since I bought these off a guy that never installed them for $150, so they are brand new. and didn't have to pay shipping since I picked them up. Gonna return the $30 in hardware to lowes today.
Boulder bars would have been my first choice though.

Attempting to bolt on....man it was hot!

You really do have a sweeta** looking Jeep man.
Just think now you won't have to worry about things break (bolts or nutzerts) and you can go on your marry way. And if those welds break, it looks like you can take care of them easily!!!
They look great man!
