If were to do that, I would just use those mounts that HB posted and find a way to put a 1x1 between them. But no, It will be Patriots vs. Panthers

Yeah I probably wouldve added a LSD to rid the torque steer

so trimmed my muffler mount a lil and now it fits, really tight fit but didnt band on anything on the to and back from auto zone.... went to get the rtv gasket make so i can mount my hood vents..... how does the hood release cable come off so i can take my hood off?

That the first pic I seen of that bumper installed. It does look to small.

I'm not sure Trexj.

Why are you gonna take it off, trust me its not something you want to take off, well put back on by yourself. The harderst part of doing the spacers were putting the bolts back in. I had to like use my head to hold it up as I put the bolt in with one hand and held the hood in place with the other.

But yeah, Its really small. Mine will be a 2x6 and Ill make my own tie ins.

so i cant get the 4th bolt on the gas tank skid plate cause the gas hose that goes thru the frame is in the way and i cant fish a nut to the hole i need.... any suggestions

T-Rexj

Go back to the jy and get the nut strips will be the easiest way and no more fighting. I remember when I took off my hitch they had it the bolts fished thru and still was a pain getting them out.

I plan to do it on the jeep. maybe lay down a welding blanket. And im going for metal once I get the taxes. But id be way down for a camping trip

I have seen the holes for hood vents cut with the hood on the jeep.

You can you just gotta be more careful. How the cable come out is the gotta wedge a screwdriver and pop it out and then unhook the ball off, I've always done it like that.

I cut my hood while is was on the Jeep. Taking that cable off is a PITA.
