Totally!

Ordered these April. Didn’t quite fit the top mounting posts....too small so made the mounting posts smaller 😂. Wasn’t going to send them back. Fox 2.0’s at each corner...finally!

Those shocks are ART!

Test fit my left front Notch Customs fender...I’m obsessed😻. They are already Linex’d Stingray which as mentioned earlier is the color I’ve selected to paint my Comanche. I’m not a body work guy but I’m happy with the result. Anybody else attempting this, just take your time on the first one. The next 3 are not going to be hard.

[SiXJaK]

Stopped by the shop and got the holes drilled on passenger side fender for test fitting. It’s a smidge off from the driver’s side. Easy fix thankfully. Gotta hand it to the guys Notch Customs. These fenders are easier to install than I originally thought they’d be. If anybody else is considering these, they are doable even if you only have marginal mechanical acumen. To my eye the other available fender options just don’t even come close. They look very good in person.

Both test fitted on... tightened up

[SiXJaK]

Took both fenders off today and flattened the pinch seams in the front wheel wells and cut the fender’s wheel openings to make them flush with the fender flares. No pics but my 3 yr old grandson helped me so that was the best.

Began rock sliders install today.

[SiXJaK]

Finished passenger side. Finished drilling the main holes into the frame for driver’s side rock slider. Will post pics tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy this unrelated Christmas Holiday pic I took the other night with my phone.

[SiXJaK]

Meant to post these earlier. It’s the season to be super busy I guess. Took doors off Comanche as well as donor Cherokee. That Cherokee bites.

Thank you, I love how they turned out.

[SiXJaK]

Got a door on.  Just cleaning up the inside so I can dynamat it to ensure it’s quiet-ish. 

[89 MJ]

I LOVE the Dynamat in my truck. At idle, you can hardly hear it running.

Ummm.........I know this is a Jeep site, and I love my MJ to death, but my first love of 4x4 pickups is late @68-72 model year Chevy's. PLEASE post some pics of that stepside I see!
