So what did you get to replace it? Pics?
No pictures sorry. I broke it off at Crozet. I just remembered. I replaced it with rock hard 4x4 skid plates. There has been a few times where it has actually saved me from some real damage.

I'm running 35 inch nitto mud grapplers on a 17x9 rim. I air down to 13 psi. It seems to work out extremly well for what I have been thru. As for sway bar and axle locks it does take a few times to master it. I've been asked to tail gun on the extreme trails so hopefully most in this group already knows this. If needed I will be more than happy to run one or two times with newbies just because I'm still learning and would like to pass along any experience I have wheelin.

Nice, I got there at about 3:00 after fighting my way through traffic and things were just about done. There was not much left, so I went home empty handed. Now I know next year I will be there before they even start so I can get my hands on some goodies before they are all gone.

So what rocker guards did you get and how much? Let us see a photo!

I was just reminded that anyone with a lift on there jeep, I have a 4 inch skyjacker, that my brake lines where not extended at the sametime. We had our jeep meeting and we decided to put our tires up on each other. I almost snapped a brake line doing this. So after this trip I will be putting on new lines. Just a thought to everyone.

You might want to think about doing this before the JK Fest, or you might find yourself doing it on the trail during the event...if you can find or have the parts.

to be honest with you... i dont know what ones they are. there was a hand written tag that said "Rocker Guards 07-09 JK $140"

looks like they were returned. they came with just the rubber strips. no install or mounting hardware. i went to Lowes and got some grade 8 bolts.

i finished up after dark, so no pics today. ill shoot some in the morning and get them up here shortly there after!

is it friday yet?
