Does anybody have a stock rear bumper laying around for cheap?
We kinda beat up the rear bumper on our JK unlimited when wheeling it.
I'm in East Northport.

Thanks!

I went into RMS once, wasn't a fan. Probably would never get anything done there. He pretty much said he was 'too good' for wheelin around here and that he keeps his buggy out in Irvine and does the Baja.

The best way to have something done right is doing it yourself.

Joe I have gotten estimates at Higbie Collision and they are usually high. If you want I can PM you a few other recommendations in the area. I deal with a handful of places and have had opportunities to see the before and after in person.
As for what Brendan said about painting the door without the truck may work but they usually do a blend to color match as well as they can.

Otherwise since your back in West Islip, I'd like to meet up one night to check out your rig.

Like I said soo many time, go with Evan from my club I'm with, Long Island Off Road. He is actually shutting down Goodyear Tire and Auto in Westbury and opening up a JEEP ONLY shop in Bay Shore. He will be taking calls via cell phone and setting up a one at a time service for whatever you need, JEEP related. One Jeep at a time, only. Custom building, might be getting into roll cage building, axles, welding, lift kits, tubs, ring and pinion installs, etc.etc.etc. He's been ASE certified and teaching at Farmingdale for years and been working and wheeling on Jeeps even longer. He knows his shit and I'll vouch his knowledge over ANYONE'S on Long Island, downright. Trust me. Once his shop opens within the next week or so, I'll post his number.

Brand new soft top with all hardware included. Even tinted windows. Everything still packaged from the factory, $300. Thank you Graig's list.

Yeah, when it came down to keeping Goodyear open or getting a fast move on his own shop, his own shop won. He's had COUNTLESS Jeeps in his shop, so, he got on the wagon and wants to dedicate his time to doing one Jeep at a time. Not exactly sure on location yet, I'll find out by Friday.

How do you like the gussets by the way? Sorry about your JK getting keyed too.
