Never liked the way the stock plastic soft top door surrounds were more of a faded grey, instead of black, so hit em with the Plasti-Dip black, and the No Fade Glossifier.

Review please :)
They ride terrific. The real change is cornering and potholes. I left the shock extensions in the rear because I have about 3/4” more bumpstop. I want to see how much flex the rear will get. Hopefully the springs won’t fall out. Will be a good test. The easiest shock install I’ve ever done.
Here’s a couple pics. Install hint, trim the front plastic inner fender a bit to ease bolt removal/install. Also, leave the plastic sleeves on the shocks and don’t cut them until they are bolted in. Bolt the top of the shock, then you can jack up the body to line up the lower bolt.

Did you have to size up the mounting holes with a drill? What did you do for a skid plate? I see you used the JK fogs but do you know if the stock JL fogs fit on the bumper?

Sorry for bombarding you with questions. I’m looking to get one of these. I don’t know how much longer I can wait for a JL rubi bumper.
So the passenger side top hole had to be drilled out slightly, maybe 1/32 of an inch.

Under the cheap plastic skid plate is a metal skid plate that protects the sway bar disconnect, that is still installed. I have noting yet to go from the bump to that but I am hoping to Fab something up soon.

The JL fog lights will not work unless you do some serious modifications. It would cost more to do then would be worth.

The only reason I did this bumper instead of the JL steel or aftermarket is because I picked it up for $200 with the fog lights and a few other parts I hope to flip for about $100. So all in all I will be in it for about $100 and then I can sell my Rubicon bumper and LED's and be ahead :).
