I like how even the ARB is along the fender. Most pics I see its not even at all.

dieselenthusiast wasn't real picky but Marty(RL),Ted(USAFCOP), and myself kept adjusting it to Marty's liking.

USAFCOP and tjkj2002 did all the hard work. I was happy that the bumper was on.............

Actually, it’s kinda scary, Troy can tear apart a KJ and put it back together in his sleep. :shock:

It was really cool when he pulled out his portable butane soldering gun and started soldering my fog light wire extensions.

Next comes the RL rear bumper………………

Gosh that color is amazing!

The color is Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat.......... and I think the paint shop did a good job matching.

this is a trophy kj. dont ask me why. i love it.

Thanks htkrph, and that’s way too kind of you. I’m far from a Trophy KJ, but I’m glad you like it. :wink:

I’ll tell the wife, after all, it’s really her KJ and it’s her idea to color match the front and rear bumpers. Plus, those Lost Rockies guys have high standards. :shock:

Between the custom paint jobs, SFA’s, and Rock Lizard’s custom fabrications, our KJ is just a fish in the pond. :lol:

i happen to agree with you that it is the best color going :lol:

looks GREAT diesel....

although my red looks a little darker than yours.. maybe it's because of my grey flares and no chrome.. strange how our jeeps are the same color but look like polar opposites

I see where Incubusmike is coming from. It does seem to sit rather low.

Absolutely. The other ones didn't look like you had any extra clearance but that pic is obvious. You gonna add one more rear iso to even it out any? I had to and now it is within a 1/4" front to back.

This is what I have in there right now:

Looks like 2 extra just like me. How many miles on the lift? How far apart are the measurements front to back anyway? Maybe it will settle or maybe it is just my bad eyes making the front seem higher.

I was kinda cheating by using that photo, it was actually taken about 10 min. after lifting it................. :lol:

Those HD's are nice and tall at first until they settle in. Now with the ARB/Winch, she's setting a little taller in the rear. KJ 2006 swapped his gasoline HD's for the CRD HD's and regained back his height. The Franky II is 2.5 inches of lift, and I'd say that KJ 2006 has a solid 3" lift with the extra isolator and OME CRD coils. We'll see how his suspension holds up.................

I am running the same lift as you and netted 4" after settle. I don't have that behemoth ARB though, just the smaller steel Fabtech. :wink:
