OP
Those 6" are too wide. I'm hoping the 5" do not look bad, as I can't go any narrower than that or I stand the chance of vehicle compliance giving me a ticket for my tires sticking out.

5" will probably look better. Those 6" look like a nice place to sit down and have a meal. LOL!

I just ordered my flares from Chris at CCF...you can email or call them go to ccfabs.com and check them out! Excellent prices and super easy to deal with.
as for the wide flare comment, if you need somewhere to sit a beer down you don't drink fast enough

Got to have a place to set them. Can't hold the whole six pack and turn a wrench at the same time. By the way, did you get the your initials cut into them?I just ordered my flares from Chris at CCF...you can email or call them go to ccfabs.com and check them out!

With exchange and shipping (if they'd even ship to Canada), those would cost me more than double. The ones from BWG will be less than $375CAD ($290USD) to my door. Big items like these unfortunately cost a small fortune to ship to Canada.I just ordered my flares from Chris at CCF...you can email or call them go to ccfabs.com and check them out!

We have very few options for Canadian suppliers, but so far everyone seems happy with their purchases from BWG.

I'm still waiting on renderings/proofs to see what they would look like. I'm still on the fence about it

Ahh I got ya!

That's the plan. I'm going to paint them silver too, and I think they'll blend in better that way.

I ordered new headlights, and got them installed today. I went with Rugged Ridge 12402.80 Round Crystal H2 Headlights . Amazon had them on for $82, so I grabbed them.
New on the left:
Old lights:
Drivers side installed:
I forgot to take a pic of both installed. I'll try them out tonight to see how much brighter they are compared to the old stock sealed beam lights.

Here are the low beams.
The high beams.
I think they need to be aimed down just a tad, but I don't have a good place nearby to properly check them. They are way better than the stock lights though!

I aimed them down some, but it's almost impossible to do right being so close. The good thing is, these are super easy to adjust.
We attempted to go wheeling today, but the snow was just too damn deep. In this pic, I'm on top of about 2' of snow.

I was getting bored with the squared off look of the front bumper, so I decided to give it a trim.
Stock with tape cutting lines.
All cut.
Opens the tires up nicely.

Today I installed a hand throttle. I wanted to install it on the shifter, and did, but I ended up removing it. I couldn't get it setup so that I could go through all the gears, and have it work in neutral. So, I put the shifter on a bar, and it works great now! Sorry about the crappy (and lack of) pics. I do need to shorten the bar too...
