Safari Straps , Leveling Kit , and Stubbie OH MY!
Just installed some parts today and took it up the mountain for some "flexed-up" shots. I did NOT disconnet the swaybars for these shots so .... yea. I'll review each part seperately.
Safari Straps Warrior Net Extended Cage - I cannot say enough good things about this product. The quality is top notch. All metal rings, clips, and retainers. Reinforced stitching and fits PERFECTLY. Anyone ever think twice about getting this... DON'T. You wont be dissapointed. Had to call on Friday evening for some help on the install because i'm a moron and wasn't reading the directions and they were SUPER helpfull and didn't even laugh at me .. much.
Teraflex Leveling kit - I installed this with a large floor jack and basic hand tools in 1 1/2 hours. Space monkeys could put this think on. I didn't even take the wheels off. Gives the jeep a perfect stance with NO rake (the pictures are on a mountain so they don't show the true level stance). I already had 1.5" spacers installed as well.
Stock Stubbie Front Bumper - Sawzall and two bolts... why doesn't everyone do this? I also added stock tow hooks while I was at it, Also threw on a towhook on the trailer hitch. I used the directions on Project-jk.com.
On to the pictures, If anyone wants specific pics of something just let me know...

These shots aren't as good ( accidentally bumped my settings on the camera), but you can see the net better...

Yeah, Id leave the tire size alone after looking at your before and after pics. Looks awsome. Quick question; that leveling kit, its a actual lift, not a body lift?

Safari Straps look good. I ordered mine last week, should be here on Friday. They are awesome people to work with, helped me save some money by suggesting an alternate set up for what I was wanting to do, how cool is that! Looking forward to getting and installing them. Any tips on the trouble you had so I don't make the same mistake?!
