comanche12 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 i didnt like bush wackers at first,but if you have the right color scheme they work out great, seen an unlimited today, didnt even put the bush wackers on right, infact, about 6 inches of fender was infront of the grill o_O hmmm well I'm planning to paint my mj dark blue so should bush wackers look good on dark blue? :dunno: sorry for :hijack:
The BOMB Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 hmmm well I'm planning to paint my mj dark blue so should bush wackers look good on dark blue? :dunno: sorry for :hijack: it is cool about the hijack, i think that with dark blue the black won't contrast enough, i would also be a little concerned about the tire rubbing with 35s or 36s but that is just my .02
JENSSEN Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Looking good!! I really like it 2 Questions what kind of wheels are those and what height of coils are you running?

MancheKid86 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 :hijack: 2 tone it, paint the fenders like a gloss black and have a black strip runnin down the rockers n bed :D make it flow nice
The BOMB Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 they are not rubbing at all yet, unfortunately i haven't had time to go and flex the suspension all the way out. as for the two tone look i like the flat black look personally but that is me... Now a small update on the jeep, i took it to town!; it is the first time it has been on the road since i acquired it last February, i took it to town to get it aligned at a local shop. After making the fifteen minute drive to the shop they pulled it in to do there very AWESOME laser alignment but they couldn't sadly because the jeep needs ball joints and u joints before they will touch it so i have a set of ball joints on order so the jeep sits until they arrive :(

Is that true? sorry to bring it up :dunno: flat/tubes flares are recommend than those pocket flares as I heard.
Shane Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Nice MJ. It is amazing that we say,"Wow where has the year gone?" On the other hand look at what all you accomplished in such a short time. Nice. :cheers:

Is that true? sorry to bring it up :dunno: flat/tubes flares are recommend than those pocket flares as I heard. well the bushwackers are plastic they are very strong they seem to add strength to the entire area where they are mounted they also have the ability to flex if need be i have seen pictures of tires stuffed into them and the tire spinning and instead of destroying the plastic they just pull out of there mounting points

The BOMB Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 um sorry i don't have any other pictures sorry but i basically cut the brackets off the buckets and bench and set them at a height I liked and spot welded them together and then added some braces. since I will have the shafts out of the front axle i couldn't resist buying this even though I ordered this 3 days later it got here first, I am still waiting on ball joints :( So I wait...
