I've never owned anything from them, but from what I read here and everywhere else, they make excellent products.

Lots of guys in my Jeep group with JK's run their bumpers.

Where did you get your bored TB?

Guys, I have to trim my rear fenders tomorrow. How high do I make my relief cuts? Just as a point of reference, just below the spot welds, to the middle of the spot welds or to the top of the spot welds? I know I do not cut the spot welds but in between them. Just using them as a measurement reference. Also, when I cut around with my cut off wheel, how high do I do that? The first lip?

and I'm still a little confused about this section. There is a fender mounting bolt in there. Do I just hack it off?

A front hitch is to tow your vehicle behind another vehicle, so get two hooks.

Just above the welds that you see. Where the lip of the fender strt to come out. Make lil slips up and 1" from each other and fold and bang in. Check Dukies write up. Couldn't be easier. I did mine with a jig saw in my works shop
