    It should be heavy. Weight is a sign of reliability. If it doesn't work, you can always hit him with it.

    Couple more pictures of the arms. I need to find somewhere to flex.
    I think I want to ditch the roof rack. It seems like it's to big for the jeep.

    I know the CV shaft needs to be replaced but it hasn't quit on me yet!

    The ride is amazing. I can definitely tell a difference front to rear and how it use to ride up front. I drove 30 minutes on the highway to work after I picked up my jeep and it felt way more stable and easier to control.

    i dare say that you answered yourself... thats what they are! "big gashes"!! its for weight reduction and aerodynamics!

    but yeah you might want to hit those with a quick bead of weld...

    Bryant mentioned that to me, I guess the previous owner did that to it.

    Replaced the track bar.

    Here is the damage to the old one.

    It was wearing in 5 spots, 2 horizontal and 3 vertical.

    Almost 1/3 of the way through.

    Some powder coat was coming off too.

    He offered me $500 for it. I took that offer cause I won't have to deal with shipping. So if he doesn't fall through on it I'll be buying my KOR stealth tire carrier as soon as I have the money from him.

    Lowis went to the salon today and got her hair did lol. At first I didn't like it with no roof rack but it's grew on me. I forgot to get a picture of it on his jeep but I thought it look really good, he has a white 96 with 4" lift and 32's.
    Before:

    After:

    Side shot:

    It's to dark to take anymore and these pictures aren't that great.

    Looks good, liked the look of the rack, but functionally, the KOR bumper/carrier will be an improvement for clearance and center of gravity.
    Have you looked into a set of sliders?
    Did the lights go with the rack?

    Yeah the lights went with the rack.
    After I get front and rear bumpers done I'll be getting sliders.

    I was also thinking about lifting it to 5.5", get some MX6 Shocks and just stick to the 33's for awhile. I don't really need 35's if I have the clearence, long arms, and a locker.
