HOrnbrod Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Not bad at all. :cheers: Same color too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie66 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes, and straight, except one small ding on the driver's side fender, under the flare. The bumpers are not part of the deal, I'll pull them and return. I have a buddy that builds awesome winch bumpers. He built one for my ZJ and it has been tested and abused on recovery work.

Hippie66 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Passenger side fender has one bolt left, I may have to remove the rock sliders to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Spit Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 That's my plan. I'll look for a donor for the swap. Going to have to start researching. I am staying Renix, truck runs great. May swap to automatic and sell the AX15. I'm in the market for an AX15 for a good price if its ready to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie66 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 It's still in the truck. It's a 2 wheel drive trans. I can't ship, only local pick-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie66 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 If you're looking at the bumper on the XJ, that's an ARB. Photobucket is having issues or I'd post pics of my ZJ bumper he built. He has only does local work, fits them up on the vehicle, then removes to finish weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
