Trimmed the fenders so the tires would not rub. Trimming in the back

Looks great! How often do you make it to Aetna? You should come ride with me and some of my friends sometime. My current ride is an 02 TJ with approprate mods :mrgreen:

Thanks! Cherokees and GCs are both good daily drivers while still tearing the trails up

Those are a must, i'm on mine all the time. They don't need to be big and obnoxious, mine is like 1.5" square tubing, can't even tell its there till you need it. Just enough to keep the rocker panels straight.

Also just curious, why choose km2's over bfg a/t's if its going to be mostly a dd?

Looks good Ryan, what did all of that run ya if you don't mind me asking? Have you had it out anywhere testing it yet?

I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Total with wheels tires and everything it was about 4500 bucks

Today was a productive day. It started out by hunting stockers:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps232ef83f.jpg
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...psf2b3ba6b.jpg

Then I became very very very sick. I got Paintitis. Symptoms include paint covered hands, and the constant need to paint something. I like black and silver, so I blacked everything out. There is not a single bit of chrome on my Jeep now. Started masking everything:

Painted:

Also did the turn signals in lens tint:

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...psc404e78e.jpg
Also painted the area behind the bumper black so it blends in and the fender wells black:

And here is how it sat at the end of the day:

How you gonna order new wheels then need spacers? Do they not make them in the correct offsets?

I ordered the wrong offset by mistake. They fit perfectly with the spacers though

dang son, you win the lottery? or buying everything on CL for $20?

Re: LR3 Builds a 1:1 - 2003 Grand Cherokee
 
Haha well the plans changed. Locker is waiting. Steering is more important. A locker would do no good if I cant steer the thing
