Dayum! Rich getting after it 2 days back to back. I love it.
The corners/fenders are getting painted I presume?
This does mean I'll have to sort out what to do about the stock air box, but that's not a major issue.
Now I have butt crack!![]()
I'm not following what you'll have to work out with the stock air box. What am I missing?
Coming together nicely.
Nothing an angle grinder and a welder can't fix in a few hours.![]()
My understanding is the GenRight inner fenders don't work with the stock airbox.
Correct - It won't fit.
I did this to get the Jeep driving and to pass inspection.

But you can see there isn't room for the OEM air box.
I went with the popular Ford Windstar upgrade. Here is my latest (still some brackets to be added for stability):

Many have done this Windstar mod. You can see more of my pics in my build. It's a better option than cold air, if you drive in water/mud. Otherwise a CAI is a good/easier option.
I've logged what I did for my GenRight inner fenders & where I put parts in my build. I found a lot of others who posted helpful info to see and consider — Not trying to plug my build thread - just sharing that it's there bc I took so much from so many others before me so trying to pay it forward.![]()
Correction: There is a post here on the forum that you can fit an OEM box but you'll cut about 60% of it apart at the bottom of the box - So just go CAI at that point (from my perspective....).
At some point the butt crack will be fixed!![]()
Very interested in how you take care of your butt crack (the one on your Jeep). I want to get rid of mine as well.

I am running the same springs part numbers front and rear on my LJR.I finally had a chance to catch up on the build and things are going well. My interim plan was to run 35s and build to a 10" travel shock (12" is the desired end state, but that will come later). I'm close to my target and here's what the numbers look like so far:
Springs: Rock Jock
- Front - CE 9133F (3") with a StreetRays 1" aluminum spacer
- Rear - CE 9131RH1P (3")
Shocks: BlackMax
- Front - B8556CS Black Max 9.78 Travel - 5.5" Up and 4.28 Down - This is mated with 2" bump stop, which limits up travel to 5"
- Rear - B8518CS Black Max 9" Travel - Travel is split even at 4.5" up and down - This is possible due to a Teraflex (#1244800) Bar Pin Eliminator adapter. The rear is bump stopped at 1.5".
My understanding is the GenRight inner fenders don't work with the stock airbox.
