Do you have an estimate on how much each tire/wheel combo weighs? |

Each is roughly 60-70 lbs. I can feel a difference in power just driving to the store and back |

I can't really speak for the front of the wheel well since I have a TJ bumper and my wheel well lining is basically gone by the bumper. As for the pinch weld, it was pounded and I have about 3/4 in room when I'm at full turn either way. I may need to try and bash it down a little. |

I want to get a TJ bumper but I wouldnt know how to attach it. |

I have a few pictures, theres 2 ways to do it. First, the way i originally saw on here, not my thread, but how i got the idea: viewtopic.php?p=474853#474853 Second, the way i did it. A jeeps not yours until your drill that first hole. how about cutting a big hole in it?   I used a dremel and expanded the holes that are covered by the tow hook caps to accommodate a 2 in receiver hitch. Then just to the right of that slit in the picture, i drilled a hole and attached a C bracket (not actually a C, more of like a have square) using grade 8 nuts and bolts. I attached my receivers, drilled a hole through them, and attached the second side of the bracket to them. I cut a hole in the TJ bumper for the reciever to fit- and drilled a hole in the bumper and bracket.   The bumper doesn't hang off like in the diagram, its sits flush with the grill. Finished product:  I relocated the washer bottle into the engine bay to get it out of the way. Best of luck to you, post pics if you decide to do it! |

Now I see why you wanted to relocate the water bottle.  Fine job Dalton. |
