Very nice.

he did an awesome job making that work with the BL. Just need to tuck up the exhaust and spare tire. Are you planning on a set of sliders?
It would be great if he would ship, but looking at the quality of his work here and on other trucks I can see why he has to have the vehicle there to work on it. Money well spent

I got a set of sliders I am gonna put on in my garage. Just waiting to get someone to help me weld them or learn to weld myself. There are still a few details that I need to work out. Like the truck lips that go in the wheel wells, a moving the spare tire mount up a few inches and cutting the exhaust. It looks real low now. But I got other plans too, so we will see what happens first.

Jed is top-notch when it comes to this stuff. That rear bumper design is perfect.

That front bumper looks real nice. I usually hate when people do this, but I'm really curious what something like that runs. PM me if you'd rather not post.

Ah yes BWJ. I wanted your rear back up lights integrated into my bumper, but no can do for mine. Oh well, I am still super satisfied with the final product. Damn sharp work Jed does.

And for price it kinda depends. I'd say to join the crew would cost you well over a grand. Just depends on what exactly you want. Since he does it custom to each specific vehicle it all depends. But just the fabrication was a grand for the front, slightly more for the rear, but well worth it. If you consider the cost of an ARB or TJM, it aint much more after shipping and if you pay to get it mounted. But quality is big. And Jed's workmanship is IMO top notch.

Sat in the cold on Saturday morning doing some minor mods. Ripped the topper and bedliner off for now, trying to figure out how to get my new safari rack mounted. Apparently I am gonna have to fabricate some new mounts. My friend said he could help me later this week with that. So going topless for now.


Took the spare tire off today after all the crap I got. It did look horrible under there though. Also you can see the license plate mount in the 2" receiver hitch.


Then did a little on the exhaust to get that out of the way.


Much better clearance now.

Thanks man. Yeah the body lift does look bad, but a few companies make gap guards/well liners, www.liftlips.com is one. I have seen another that costs slightly more. Both looked good though and I plan to get one of them soon. Just need to save a little money for those, so no I don't like that look. Just broke after the bumpers and other parts I have bought but not installed yet.
