Thumbs up

As always, looks awesome.

A few questions:

Are those factory fog lamps?

It may just be glare, but do the stock fender flares color match the powder-coated bumpers better in person?

Lastly, is that a factory tow receiver?

Thanks

I wanna do dirty naughty things to the white jeep. I like the orange one too... but it is more like what I drive everyday. just more van-like. hehe. The coil overs and evo lever is sick. absolutely sick. It is on a whole different plane. it is naughty. orange jeep has some big shoes to fill.

EDIT- As much as I appreciate your Rubicon build, this one is much more in line with what I envision mine being (eventually).
while you can remove the bumperettes, i don't believe you can attach d-ring mounts in their place. d-ring mounts really need to be secured directly to the frame and the bumper itself wouldn't be strong enough by itself.

naw, too much work. i we were to go that route, we would just pick up a set of black sahara flares like SGT. has.

well, ya never now what the future may bring but for now, our goal is to keep this jk more modest in its build.

BTW... I figured a spacer would cuase more of a bend since the tire is further out... so I did NOT have a spacer... I got a body lift instead... bu the tailgate still bent.
yeah, that's what i figured. guess we'll be looking at our options regarding this soon.

yep, they are factory fogs. regarding the fenders, they look pretty different from the bumpers but, i may consider doing what SGT. did and pick up a set of black sahara flares. that'll get them looking right.

How's about a trip to good 'ole Oklahoma Eddie ??? We'll help you find some mud... Something along these lines maybe?





On a more serious note though, Lil Nemo is turning out fabulous. Love the aggressive, yet stock look. Great job
