Any pic's?

I removed the silver front applique and plan to do the rear bumper tomorrow at a buddies shop. The front can be removed with a mini ratchet and a torx. But the back the bumper needs to be removed.

Again very happy with the results.

Also wired up my 12" ported sub and took out the Infinity 8" that was in there. Just wired it up temporarily until I get some funds to have it professionally installed with an amp I had from my old TJ. Sounds a bit better but definitely not pushing enough air through it.

I saw them at Quadretec but I did not like their shipping cost. I ordered the Rough Country version from Lowrider.ca. Not found on their website but when I phoned they had them in stock. In Delta B.C.

Yeah we are getting ripped off on shipping and duty.

I ordered the Spiderweb shade directly from them and still do not have the product. Even though they charged me $25.00 for shipping in what I expect will be a small parcel.

Pardon the punn but it really pays to shop around for pricing and shipping costs.

Made some door hangers from some plans I took off another site.

Works perfect and keeps them out of the way.
