Sweet looking LJ. Any plans on upgrading that death wobble? I hear the higher speed DW is the bee's knees .

Did hers come with those Savvy bumpers? If so, that's a score right there.

Does the bumper need some reinforcing? We may trade front bumpers between the Jeeps

The designer, and member here, mrblaine of Black Magic Brakes says they shouldn't be sold without the HD reinforcements. The bumper is welded at that bend and can crack/split if hit hard enough.

Thanks for the info - its apreciated

She wanted to trade bumpers...I'm going to power coat the savvy one for my jeep. Will cleanup OEM aux lights and make them led.

Anyone have a suggestion for what to put in the gap for making it pretty.

I put a winch plate on mine to fill the gap.

 

[dogfoodboy]

Fixed the death wobble.and got her tires mounted. It's driving nice...she has plans for some retro stickers and we need to find Sahara fender extensions. She wants them silver to match the body

New bumper on and it's looking nice

Gave her my Rubi flares and they're out getting painted silver...and found a set for my Rubi locally for $100...miracle

 

[dogfoodboy]

Got the Gr8Top installed, the silver flares, white wheels, small lift, shocks. Before and after pics for fun

The PO cut some huge holes in the rear where the tail lights go...only solution the wife liked was the Savvy lights...they are spendy and take some wiring work to complete. They do cover the holes well and she likes the brightness.
