You're not cutting anymore? No offense but it looks bad like that. Not sure how it wouldn't hit the tub.

I also took the jeep in for an alignment and received some bad news, turns out my rear axle is slightly bent from the driver side :doh: Ill be looking around for another used D44 for the mean time.

Also all tie rod/ drag link ends were bad. so ended up installing a synergy draglink and waiting on the tie rod ends to arrive.

also decided to give a go at building some corner armor, went with 1/8 in order to adopt EVO's concept of wrapping the ends around, "being that I dont own any fancy bending equipment"

heres the cardboard cut out I started with

Thanks guys! I was really skeptical on building them myself and how they would turn out, but being that my options were limited I went for it. Still need to clean up the lines and I'll be painting them black in the mean time till I can color match.
Here's a better side shot.
