thanks for the links...i knew i had seen someone do something like that with their tjm. 6 bucks is much better than 50 when youre on a budget...meaning, i have no money.

i dont know if that one mount is used for a cb antenna mount, but it works fine for me. i know they sell a little bracket, but right now, the firestik fits in real nice.
and yes you can see the firestik coax in the last pic, i just wanted to get the pic in before i wired it all up. i hope to complete the lattice mod by monday, pics to follow with that.

have you adjusted the brackets all the way up??
You can close that gap more. I also know that Steve S and Roger Brown can modify the brackets for a 2"+ gap
Look sweet

The last TJM I installed was about two months ago. Once the brackets are hung and the bumper is loosely in place, there was enough space in the bolt slots to move it up and down.

The side wing is not level. You can also adjust the bumper up and down to make it look right
And have you installed the rubber gasket in between the bumper and wings?

Looks like he has a bodylift to me, that's a pretty big gap. I was able to make the adjustment slots a little bigger on mine. Here are some pics: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...57661283SOWwBn

i couldnt figure out how to adjust the bumper, so i just left it.
yea i put those rubber gaskets in. they did help even out the wings, and it looked much cleaner after they were in.

well they guy i bought the bumper from sent some hella 500's....but both lens are cracked pretty badly. i could either get covers/new lens and spend the same amount of money as i would getting some lights at walmart....so im going with walmart lights. they actually have some decent ones. 6" round ones for 20 bucks with wiring and everything. theyre apc i think. im actually getting ready to go get them now.
