I couldn't find any at the local AP store, so I went with some for an XJ. They might be a little long but the 31s were rubbing pretty bad. In the post right before this one that has the RE sway bars you can kind of see the new black rubber bump stop.
HOrnbrod Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 That is an XJ bump stop I pictured. Which front springs did you use?

crumbscomanche Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 Alright, finally got my JCR bumper and D44 diff cover on. Bumper before/after is below - how do I tell if it's a factory bumper? Ignore the cruddy bedliner finish - have to touch that up with the new bumper clearance. Overall very impressed with the quality and fit. Also installed the new speedo gear - big difference between 31 and 42 teeth!
crumbscomanche Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 New sliding glass window is in. This thing is sick! Can't wait to have it open on the trails.
crumbscomanche Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 Got the front JCR bumper on this weekend Also replaced the steering spacer with the steel one JCR included with their bumper kit

desertmike Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Something I never new before........... Mine being a short wheel base, the rear shocks are mounted behind the axle. Yours being a long wheel base, the shocks are mounted in front of the axle. I really like that d44 cover. I looked around and could not find it. Could you give some info on it, where you got it, price, do you like it?

The cover is ODC American Rebel Manufacturing. I saw it on here and knew I had to pick it up. They are discontinued but are selling out the remaining stock - my understanding is they ended their license deal with mopar (who moved production of these diff covers overseas), so I'd act quick if you want one. Awesome made in America quality and it has already taken a couple beatings with no problem. I got the set for D30/D44 for just shy of $400, comparable to what you'd pay elsewhere. https://www.americanrebelmfg.com/jeep
desertmike Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Just got one. Almost got a different shape, they have a few. I'll post a pic tomorrow of the shocks. Thanks a lot.
crumbscomanche Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Here's how she stands now. Next up will be the JCR tire carrier for the bed, mean lemons battery cables (both currently sitting in living room), and hopefully soon Trucklites. Shopping winches, too!
Lthompson741 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Looks good. Very functional and not over done. Do you have any more pics of how you cut and mounted your rear fender flares? Or is their a write up somewhere? My bedsides are a little rotten on both sides and am wondering if I can cut it out and still retain the factory look like yours.

I had planned on trimming the rear fenders but opted not to for the time being. I did use a couple coats of bed-liner on the flares to bring them back to life and match the rocker panels. the front we cut and trimmed and fiberglassed the edges to top water and mud from getting in there. Overall it's help up pretty well but the rocker panels need a a refresher.

Your fronts look very good tho. I figured if you were able to retain the rear factory look I had to ask how.
SatiricalHen Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 New sliding glass window is in. This thing is sick! Can't wait to have it open on the trails. I like that rear slider a lot better than mine. What brand is that? Mine hangs out the back of the jeep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

crumbscomanche Posted February 8, 2018 Author Posted February 8, 2018 most important mod thus far. thanks @Pete M!!
crumbscomanche Posted February 22, 2018 Author Posted February 22, 2018 Have gotten a few little things done - replaced headlight relay, put in the @MeanLemons cables and installed the JCR tire carrier, which has a license plate bracket and a light for the plate. The 31'' looks a little goofy because it's small, looking forward to getting 33s on here now!
crumbscomanche Posted February 26, 2018 Author Posted February 26, 2018 Warn VR series winch installed. Looks great!
crumbscomanche Posted April 16, 2018 Author Posted April 16, 2018 Been wheeling more than working on the truck lately. Thanks @Kyleinreallife for coming up this weekend to help me figure out my headlight issue and install the new Rigid Industries Trucklites. Build quality seems to be top notch, light output doesn't even compare to stock.
