Finally got the CF stickers in place, but I'll have to order some more when I chop the top! I believe this adds 2 horse power, from what I've been told! lol
Also tomorrow I'll be getting the metal for my sliders!!!

Thanks all!
So here's a problem I'm gonna run into. I bought a tow bar to pull my XJ down to moab last year, but I don't think its safe to mount it to the bumper skin after I trim the skin to fit under the backbone! So I'm thinkin about making basically a small set of shackles that will bolt to my D-ring holes & to the tow bar ends.... What do you guys think? Should work right?

boat sides are awesome, but wouldnt want on one i drove around alot just because they dont look that easy to get into. Nice thing about bolt on ones is you can take them off, sell them, fix them if they break, or switch to the weld in. Me starting off with the weld in, kinda leaves me ***** in, cant go back
