yes, I think I'm going to color match (as close as I can) the corners and hinge brackets to the body color/gloss and then match the cage to the rear fascia as its not as glossy. I kinda want to see what the samples look like and I'll make my final decision.

those first few drill holes in that 6 month old body were pretty tough but it didn't take long for me to not care whatsoever!

:cheesy: Trust me, it's still hard even on a Jeep that's got a lot of years on it. :crazyeyes:

I remember those days. Fun times indeed. :crazyeyes:

Why did you need upper control arms to correct your caster?

oh it was fun alright... so I was replacing the upper and lower front teraflex flex arms I had in the that were beat out and when i put the evo lower arms in along with my stock uppers I couldn't get my caster below 9 with my PR44U and the 4" evo springs were bowing. basically I couldn't get the lower arms short enough to set the # so I needed to push the top of the axle fwd.

dropped the corners and tire carrier off to get powder coated today. went with body color match to the corners and hinges as and then a semi gloss texture like the fascia for the carrier and tire mount. have a few other things to work out this week but might be able to start getting my dynomax exhaust installed
