I love the CRES net... its little thinner then i thought BUT it seems very strong.
I think it looks great but the main thing is that my dogs love it! lol
I put the back seat down and they have plenty of room, plus i dont have to take the soft top off to put the net up...
Smittybuilt should pay me for this!!! lol

oh, and looks like you have the 7005 series rims. you like those? cause i plan on stealing those too.
lol i took awhile with the dogs... and they still do all of the above!

The rims i got used for $300 for all 5... i wanted to get the black addicts but once i put these on the jeep i fell in love and would strongly recommand them.

why not just go with a leveling kit?
$135 at northridge. 2" in front. 1" in back.
im only 16 i would do a lift kit but my parents wont let me break the warranty

You'll need to trim your pinch seam and extends your bump stops to run 35's and no lift. I ran without bumpstop extensions and barely cleared the pinch seam, but I got some loud squeaking when flexed out as my tires rubbed my rear inner fender.

Wrong, theyll blame drive shaft, ball joints, and possible t case issues on the lift too.
