That would be an awfully long drive!
Depending on the time of the year, and how busy I am with my own projects, I do do corrections on other people's vehicles. But with my own fleet being so stupid, 10 vehicles.... I don't have much time to sell to others. In that 10, I include my oldest boy's 2 cars that he left with me while he deployed with the USMC. I keep them cleaned up and waiting with the batteries removed for his safe return. I also have a 16 year old daughter who drives her/my 2004 Grand Prix GT that I try hard to keep up with. And the then there is the wife..... Don't get me started on her and her cars.

I would guestimate that I stock around $2000 in chemicals for car care / detailing. It's a hobby passion. It shows even on my JK, I show up at the trail head looking like I just had a $1200 full correction done. Because I essentially do! I wheel about once a month, the 3 weekends are spent cleaning, buffing, painting, coating, dressing, sealing..... my other passion! I start at the bottom and make the frame, brackets, engine, axles and all look new. Then I go up and get the paint back, then I spend a day or 2 inside. Once you can't tell it's been off road (aside from bent steel under it!).... it's about time to take it back into the rocks and start again!

It was a VERY easy install and the directions were very good. They do say you have to enlarge some of the holes on the frame for the bumper studs to go through but we tried to fit it anyways and it went on straight and easily so we opted not to do that. The only other thing is we had to extend the passenger side fog light wiring so it would reach. Total install time I would say was 45 mins - 1 hour

How much total lift is that: Suspension = ? Body = ? I see you saying 10th Anniversary Rubicon shocks and springs, but then you say after that that there is a 2.5" Rough Country Series II lift. I am asking because I also have a 2 door and I am picking up 37"x13.5 tires this weekend. You also say (and they look like!) you have 37" tires, then you say a bit lower that you have 295/70/17 tires. If you have the 295/70/17, you would have approximately a 33.25" tall by 11.6" wide tire. You have me so confused! Or... am I looking at an out of date signature line and I am confusing it with the upper line sayng what is actually in the photo? I wanted to here what rear bump extension your running and how dramatic the cutting was on the rear most pinch seam. I'm about to travel down that same road. I hope my Willys looks like yours. That's a big and bad look!
