I installed the Red Rock Attack stubby front bumper. It wasn't a difficult job but extremely time consuming.

Positive: The JL pushpins are much easier to remove than their JK counterpart.

Negative: There are a ton of the pushpins and quite a few are in hidden locations.
Negative: There's no pic.

I was surprised to learn there was actually something you hadn't done. I take credit for passing along what I learned from here!

So I ordered some LoD signature black sliders/steps and read allot online about how great the product was but that is was pretty long wait on these. So you can imagine my delight and pera-grin when they arrvied within a few days from Northridge 4x4! I totally wasn't expecting it but I decided to install them last night, came out great and today I finished and drilled the extra whole through the frame for the passenger side reinforcement. I skipping drilling the back two bolts but figure it should be more than enough with all the other bolts in place, these things are solid!

Frame mounted sliders. NICE!

What wheels are those? My hubby had the Mickey Thompson’, which look like yours, on his JK and they’re still one of my favorite wheels.
Yea, I wasn't sure about these but they really do look good and kinda retro.. Pretty inexpensive as I wasn't looking to buy nice wheels to get rashed..
They are Procomp Series 1069 17"x9" -6mm

A little late now, or perhaps not- but how do you enjoy the TF 2.5"? Do you wish you'd gotten Mopar 2" ?

Currently trying to decide between TF or Mopar 2" and minus cost and not voiding warranty I'm stuck



Which 2.5" lift did you go with? and how much did they charge you to install? (from MA myself)

I did much agonizing research between the two and decided to go with Terra Flex based on what I think is an incomplete Mopar kit and reading several complaints. It also did not help that out of 5 dealerships in my area non of them could answer questions I had and I did not feel like any of them really knew what they were doing.

I went with a local shop specializing in jeeps and lifted vehicles. They were extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I have no regrets on my selection. The Jeep rides great and I have no issues at all. The suspension is stiff and you will feel the bumps more but it also eliminated excessive body roll.

After about 9 months, I finally got up the patience to install the ACE inner fender liners. No gaudy logo... as a matter of fact...no logo...just the way I like it. They were initially a pain in the ass, but ACE finally put up an installation video. The paper instructions weren't very helpful, but in hindsight after seeing the video, only my patience was missing.

Rear shocks done as well to complete the set. My thanks to John A at @OffRoadWarehouse for the assist. Compared to the front pair, I was shocked (tee-hee) at how easy getting the rears on was. Unlike the fronts, I needed a 1/4" washer on the lower bushing since it was slightly thinner than the stock. I didn't want to stress the weld and it fit more snugly.

I listened to you, @Bricazo … 6 feels pretty silky smooth on the stabilizer. Thanks again for the hint. Feeling pretty Foxy. That's all, folks.

Which brand license plate relocation did you go with?
The tag relocator is LOD destroyer
The LED lights are license plate bolt led lights off amazon.
The LOD is pricey but sturdy, youd think for 80 bucks, "lights" but no.
It reuses the OEM brake light though. Overall happy with it.

Ouch that is rough for no lights.

I went with the Arb relocation bracket (it shows a light in the picture but not sure if it truly comes with one). I ordered it from Northridge over a month ago and it still have shown up. Think I may need to choose another option.

Dipped my grill inserts & tow hooks, and rattle-canned the silver accents on the bumper.

I'm very happy with the inserts but the bumper isn't a great job and probably won't last. We'll see.
