Pace is everything.

Put up some pics of the shock towers once they arrive, if you would.

Brandon, they look great from the pics you took. I like the idea of keeping them body color to match as well. They will look super sweet on there and especially after you have a few tree or rock rubs on them. Aaron

Thanks guys, I kind fudged up the driver side with the big ugly ass line of clear but you're right Aaron. After this weekends run they'll match the rest of the Jeep. Looking back I should have done the arched tube on the fender black to match the black flair. Now I am just getting nit picky, I am friggin' glad that part is done until next year when it has to be redone . My beard was getting awfully crusty and blue!

red scotch pad on the clear to knock the line down and then hit it with wet 400 or 500 and then give it another coat

Thanks Jason, I'll see how it looks after this weekend. It'll probably all peel off on the highway anyway!

Got started tonight on removing the fenders and rear flares, and surprise found some rust! luckily no holes, so i cleaned them up, primed them and finished it off with the remainder of the blue I forgot how disgusting the angle on my rear spring was.. can't wait to change that Looks like the 35's on stock height did some fender mods of their own! I fixed it up with a BFH The friggin' hood latches wouldn't come off, which really pissed me off, and I have two bolts left in the driver side fender to remove. Friday night should have some good updates stay tuned!!

Pretty solid update, friggin exhausted. Here's the pics. Front fender finally friggin off, found a surprise! I think the Jeep may have been hit on the front end, the paint doesn't seem to cover the whole grill.. Rear plate and flare is on, holy drilling! I think there's about 16 holes that i had to drill for one flare. I've been waiting to see this for a long time.. one problem though my BDS guards interfere, Apesteguy came up with the ingenius idea to use a hole saw. It came out a lot better than expected. I wanted to get a little more travel out of my +4 shocks on stock springs so (under the wing of Apesteguy) did my first fab session. It's pretty gross looking up close and I am unsure how long they will hold up but I was able to dial in EXACTLY the moment the bumpstops hit and smoosh a little and obtain maximum down travel. Oh here is the shock mount I ordred to outboard the rear. It's pretty friggin beefy. Alright im going to bed, more to come tomorrow.

I think the Jeep may have been hit on the front end, the paint doesn't seem to cover the whole grill.. Not necessarily. You (probably) have no paint under your hood hinges either. It's the way they painted them at the factory. Seeing no paint in that spot in your picture doesn't surprise me one bit. Fenders are looking great so far. ps... what rear axle do you have in that Jeep? I noticed the disk brakes.
