GOT IT BACK TODAY AND DAMMMNNNN
IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!
i already got a couple of honks from the chicks here at college (maybe not from the bumper but hey!) and my fellow KJer, who has never taken her jeep off-road ever (she's freakin hottt too!!) told me the line-x looked great!

will post pics when i get it out in the sun!

all in all it was $235, not bad considering he helped me unistall/reinstall it and he gave me some Line-X stickers too (not sure if they are really worth anything, but i have some more stickers to put on Wendy!)

I also liek it because my other accessories (tail light guards, front hitch, future sliders, and light brackets on the front) are all black!

Got the light bar today! It looks great Except for a few spots right below the lights.... But to make up for it, they put 5 coats of UV protection...since it is going to be in the sun all the time....

The lightbar is not attached, but you get the idea....
Lightbar -200
shipping-20
Wires-hardware-45
Line-X 90
Total-355

I'm ready to Install in 9-10 days Tom :wink:

wow! that is awesome.. i absolutely love you all back KJ.. the only thing i would suggest is a tinted front license plate cover :)... or move to PA so you dont need one at all. haha

i'm also very envious of the RL rear bumper.. looks good with the silver!

you have to read the For Sale section on here! I found it at a place I deal with and posted it up for anyone to grab, Chris was the smart one and got it!
Of course now I have to help install it! :roll: :roll:

Chris,

The only thing you need to add to that beast are some wheel spacers! Would take the look of your Jeep up a notch!

Thanks Jon.
I can't decide whether to get wheel spacers for these rims.. Or just get some crager soft 8's (BLACK of course) with different backspacing, I'll probably decide after these MT/R's need replaced....

a word of advise for the light bar install.... the instructions are very unclear as to how far back to put the light bar from the windshield. measure one that already has it.. or keep to the front a little bit. i went to the back of they're recommended placement and the end holes wouldnt accept the nutzerts because they hit the inner roof structure (side ribs) after a ton of pounding, beating, drilling, and cutting out half crunched nutzerts i finally got them in there.

i didnt know daveysjeeps.com sold KJ parts!!! i thought they only sold wrangler stuff and rebuildable totaled jeeps (there was a nice 07 liberty that sold on there).

does your jeep have lockers? i forget if it does or not

i love your kj the only thing i think it needs is either some moab rims blacked out or some spacers. The jeep seems to have a narrow stance, i think it would like even better with a more aggressive wide stance.
