Good looking rig!! I love the Hi-Lift mount location, I need some details on how you mounted it. Is that how the new Rugged Ridge bumpers look now?
EDIT: I see you have an ARB front now. Whats the rear since I dont think its the Rugged Ridge.

Hey YingYang
The bumper is a Smittybilt XRC with tire carrrier. The Hi-Lift is mounted with just some bolts, washers, and lock nuts. I used some rubber grommets over the nut and bolt. The entire mod took 5 minutes. I just needed to drill 2 holes and that was it. The base of the Hi-Lift stays in the recovery bag and I have a quick release Cotter pin for it. Super strong. Didn't lose any clearance. NO rattle. Solid Solid Solid! Looks like it should be a factory XRC mount location.

I e-mailed Bushwacker and they said they sell the front flares separate. I don't care for the rear ones. Do they match the factory flares? I love the shape of the fronts and want to find someone who sells the front only... any sponsors???

No to the nutserts on the Bushwackers. The subframe is plastic and is held on with bolts thru existing holes in the sheetmetal. The rear subframe uses bolts and the plastic push rivets. The flares then go over all the subframing and use metal screws thru flare and into a metal clip.

They are real close to the texture of the factory flares.
