Nope, I don't think we have. We missed each other several times at the Fall Run. Then you guys went back home on the HP Run a few weeks ago.( I would have, too) We'll have to get together soon.

We did a little more work on my uncle's XJ this afternoon....

Finished bedlining the fenders where we trimmed last week and had a couple of hours this afternoon, so we got the LockRight put in the front, and put on new lug nuts and center caps. Looks good now...

He picked up a new Smittybilt XRC 8K winch at the 4WPs sale and I ordered the bumper from Land Fab. Waiting on the bumper now. Sliders from Rusty's are next on the list. We have them, but haven't got them installed yet.

They said they would mod them free to insure they would with any long arm kit, just wondering how hard the install ends up being.

Mine are Rustys -- they are a PITA to install. 18 bolts on each side.
