Really want to color match, but will probably just do black, cause it's easier to deal with.
What was done to your rig this week?

Over the last 2 weekends, I got the following accomplished:
Replaced all shocks and springs with rubicon take-offs.
Replaced all brake discs and pads
Replaced front swaybar links with JKS quick discos
Installed mirror relocation brackets
Installed a Spiderweb shade
Cut my front bumper to make it a stubby
Removed the rear bumper and installed the EVO D-ring brackets
And finally installed Truck-Lites.

Looks great! I'm becoming a fan of the DIY stubby bumper for those who don't want to drop $500+ on a new bumper/stinger.
Haven't read any reviews but Rough Country makes bumper caps to finish the ends off. I've seen other people use the ends of the parts they cut off as well, looks nice.

Thanks!
I'm just gonna keep it as is until I get a replacement. It's all part of the slo-mo modification plan I'm on.
I'm thinking EVO 1/4 pounder down the line.
Where are you in WI? I grew up in Madison. Last 2 years of high school I was in Brookfield.

Ditto on the EVO 1/4 pounder
I'm out of Green Bay - went to UW-Stout for my degree and then moved back.

Nice! Seen a couple of great games at Lambeau. Was at the 1996 MNF game vs. SF. Jacke for the win in OT from 53 yds! Greatest game I've been to! Saw Pittsburgh's Thigpen drop the ball in the end zone and give the Pack their first division title in my lifetime. Good times!

At first i had no problems with my set of 33s, then they could never balance them. But Discount tire swapped them out and even got me a set of 35s instead of the 33s. So far these have been perfect. A few of my buddys have them and they havent had any problems either. Im overall happy with them

Yeah ive noticed people either love them or hate them. I decided to try them anyways. They work great offroad for me, would like to try the mud grapplers next though.

If I could recommend adjusting the length of your sway bar links so that your sway bar sits slightly above level. This will help prevent your sway bar from flipping over when flexing.
