Mr. Kris Hansen. I never got back to you about that sticking e-brake arm. I think I fixed it

I just hammered it back and forth a couple dozen times. I was pissed at that point, so I went nuts with the hammer. It hasn't stuck since and this was several months ago. I also used PB Blaster on the pivot, so that probably worked its way in there good enough.

Default TJ: you should cut those braces on the bumper, it will make a much cleaner look.

That is if you dont want to put the grills/fogs back in. Gotta love how the passenger side of the racetec piping fits like crap dont ya? Mine looks like a bull horn coming out of the bumper.

Default interesting idea. I'm undecided right now about the grilles. One of the braces is already broken

the passenger side was where I had to trim a little off the bumper post in front of the coupler. It was pressed against the coupler and it looked like it could have cut into it after a while.

Default Im speaking more for the braces/brackets for the outside grills, i cut both of mine and..

didnt have a problem i left the center grill in so i would minimize rocks hitting the intercooler.

I may want foglights again. That is if I can find a pair cheap enough. I need HIDs more than fogs
