Building Clementine

Got her home today. Initial impressions is that she doesn't drive a whole lot different than stock, except for the expected tire noise. Handles and behaves very well on the highway and secondary roads. I did have to re-learn the 'aim' to stay centered in the highway lane, since she's a bunch taller, I was driving left of center.

The sliders and side armor will be available in a week or so, and Rubicon flares are next on the TODO list. Well, getting the takeoff tires, suspension and driveshafts out of it is actually next.

Nice. If you don't mind, when you get the old ones off, could you take a picture of the new ones next to your stock ones? Thinking about may be doing this on ours instead of lifting it.

What a rig [emoji1362]
 
Talked to my local body shop guy. Bringing the Jeep by next Tuesday, which is when his paint guy shows up with the color match camera equipment. Scheduled for Oct 5 to get the flares painted. They're straight out busy now, but this guy is top-notch, done work for us before, and I dont mind waiting.
 
Welp, with the cost of punk’n paint %#&$ing expensive to lay down, we decided to swap the flares for textured black for now, and look for a set of punk’n takeoff Rubicon flares in the future. Easy Sunday morning project.

Looks good, Rubicon fenders are a much better look in my opinion. While I do prefer the color match, and sucks that didn't work out for you right now, I do think the black offsets with the orange nicely.

Looks great. I really like the contrast.
