I removed my F/R bumbers,carriers,and roof rack to prep them for bedlining today,MY JEEP IS NAKED!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry no pics,it's dark here now.I gained 1 1/2" in the rear and a 1/4" in the front.Guess taking off 600lbs of armor will do that and boy does it have a boat load of power now! I can even lock my brakes up on dry pavement,haven't been able to to that since '04 when it was still stock,left 25ft twin black marks coming into my apartment complex,I better get my stuff back on soon or I'll end up in jail

Sir, this is a family forum. No pictures of nekid KJ's will be tolerated! :shock:

But, on the serious side: WOW! It is amazing how much weight gets added onto these things. Did you ever weight it fully "dressed"?

Just think, you still had your steel wheels, big tires, skids, and super skinks on. Oh, I forgot, you also have another good 150 pounds or more of tools in the back.

I wouldn't say you're completely naked!

38 lbs for a hi-lift?

Mine only weighs 30, which one do you have?

48"-28-30 lbs.

Gravity must be a hell of a lot stronger in CO.

Mine's the all cast one also, but not the extreme, doesn't have a different dohicky on top?

Mine is the HL-485, my manual says 29 lbs.

So when does the final product roll out to everybody?

Did you and Marty see the Gecko pics yet?
