Well this weekend I took off my factory bumpers, dry fitted my new ones, had the new bumpers and rack powder coated, installed them, washed it (for pictures which i'll post on my build tomorrow), went mudding for a first date and just when the mud was looking good on it it decided to rain. oh wow way too much fun

whaddya mean "
", i'm not done w/ the fenders yet, calif. laws say the tire has to be covered, so i "fashioned" my own set of flatfenders by bending the bead out, instead of in, going to finish off w/ some 1" pond tubing to protect tires. i don't have the $$$ for new flares, and am looking into trimming the old ones. i'm also for functionality, & not necessarily on how "pretty" she is. still have to do final measure to see how far i opened the wheel well. remember: i'm running 31/10.5/15 bfg ko's w/ ~25% tread left on stock height w/ tj canyon rims (i forget the backspacing). besides, it'll all look better when i put my lift on........
today i started wiring in the old "K-D" fog lamps instead of finishing fenders, will finish both projects tomorrow.

Thanks! Yeah, they are off of an 86 Wagoneer limited that had'nt been in the yard a day. I lucked out finding them, especially in that condition. Actually, the whole Jeep was in amazing shape, better than mine! I almost felt bad snatching parts off of it.
