So it begins.
Just made my first true “upgrade” to the Electric Lime LJ. It had huge heavy Smittybilt bumpers front and rear with a swing out tire carrier. With my super shallow garage they made it hard to fit it in there. For now I just removed the swing out assembly and the spare from the rear and got a new bumper for the front.
I ended up with a Rock Hard 4x4 Freedom Series, since I’m setting the LJ up for flat towing and Rock Hard has an option for Blue Ox brackets on their front bumper. The bumper fit up pretty nicely and I added their optional steering box skid plate.
Obviously heavier than the Savvy aluminum job but they’re not currently in stock and don’t have a flat tow option anyway.
I’m sure I’ll have lots of dumb questions as I build it up…
