Jeep Driver Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 What sold ya on the ironman vs other uca/lca out there? I searched and compared, JKS would have been at the top of the list...however......cost, and I wanted an angled lower. Others did not appear to be as well made or as heavy.

Jeep Driver Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Image Not Found Image Not Found Now I have a recovery point that I can trust. I also like the idea of something a little more substantial up front connecting the unibody I have the Warrior bumper on order and the Bushwacker flares, air dam is gone by the wayside anyway.

outlaw star Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Got my Warrior Products 560 bumper today. The fit and finish is excellent, IMO. However, I don't see anyway you can mount the bumper and keep the stock flares. As you can see in the third pic the bumper is pushed out as far as it can and still be mounted, the flares won't allow it to go all the way back, can't even get the third bolt in. My Bushwackers are on order, the vendor claims that they are made to order and will take another three weeks.....true or not? don't know. Really looking forward to getting the new flares installed. Still looks good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I've seen quite a few pics with this bumper and stock flares. Or are these stock flares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm missing the point of putting a heavy duty bumper on that doesn't have its own tow points. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Never liked Bushwacker flares. They look too busy with all the mounting holes........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Never liked Bushwacker flares. They look too busy with all the mounting holes........... I don't have a lot of options and I'm tired of worrying about my front tires. I agree with you though......but moreso the price. Understand. But they will help make your expense report look more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Doug at Napier has flares that look similar to the BWs. His are much stronger and he gives a CC discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COFFMAN Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I prefer the look of the Napier flares over Bushwhackers, they don't look as in ya face... Front bumper looks great :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me&my86MJ Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Several weeks back I had ordered a 91-94 intake that I planned on converting to TBI and using. The only plugs/set screws I could find that were beyond 1/2" were 5/8, 3/8" pipe thread tap is the same thread as the 5/8" set screw but you can see here that I ran the drill bit too deep and destroyed the intake- Image Not Found The second one I ordered arrived yesterday, you can see that even though they fit the same years that they are different castings, the one in the rear is more suited for an adapter plate. Plus there were two casting flaws in the first intake anyway, worked out well in the end- Image Not Found I ended up using 9/16x18 set screws, this way I did not have to drill out the injector holes. 9/16x18 are damn near impossible to find and when you do they are expensive. A bottom tap was not available to me so I bought a taper tap and a plug tap, the plug tap I cut down to a bottom tap, worked out perfect- Image Not Found Do you still have these pictures? I looked on photo book and even downloaded the app to try to see and no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
