Ya I'm diggin the clean look its got without the trim jeff!!! Have you thought about trimming the lower front bumper plastics, so its even with the line on the rear bumper plastic?

I'll be ordering the detours backbone, tailbone, & XRC8 winch either tomorrow or monday!!!
(don't think they are open sundays)

Just checked the invite for the 28th I posted on the utah4x4 site & looks like we will have a dude named Eric in his '62 willeys cj5 showing out! He just went out & ran the rattle snake section with out trouble, but said the mud made it fun!
I can't wait!!!

that detours backbone is sweet spanky "D" is the owner of detours i have talked to him a lot on xjtalk he knows his stuff about jeeps and how to make them better. just read the instruction really carefull before cutting.

edit: if you are a member of xjtalk then you get 10% off so it might be worth joining and telling them you are a member. just so you know.

Thanks man, I think it looks a lot better. I'm in the process of designing new bumpers right now so I want to leave the stock ones alone in hopes of selling them eventually.
Damn dude! Backbone, tailbone and a winch, you definately made out better on the taxes than I did!

Thank do I need to be a paying member on xjtalk or just a member??? detours is already giving me a $25 off since I'm buying the backbone & tailbone!!!

hey builtnotbought89 that is cool that you are getting the tailbone and backbone. but your name is "builtnotbought" iam just wondering why are you not making them your self? iam not saying this is a bad thing to do i personaly bought a rear bumper and tire carrier from custom4x4fabrication.com on my first xj but after getting it and looking how it was make i will not be buying one again i will make it they are simple. just wondering.

no they don't have paying members it is just like this site. but if you want to donate you can so they can get stuff for the site like stickers and other stuff for the members. so just go to www.xjtalk.com and it is free. then i think their is a link or a coad that you tell spanky "D" and he will give you 10% everything. check it out.
