Cozdude's build of Knuckles

[hinrichs]

havnt had an inspection yet, which is comming up soon, but no issues from cops or anything. Its techincially just a "bumper cover" since it does nothing to protect the jeep when you actually think about it.

very true didnt think of it like that as just being a cover

its one of those technical dumb things, I feel with the drings there and the tire carrier you hardly even notice anything was changed.

especially since you are both running tire carriers.

Well lets see I had a busy week with the jeep.

Took my bumper and old side steps off Monday


Then Tuesday I got my sliders burned on! :rock:


Also painted my rear end since the bumper was off and put my EVO D Ring mounts on

I pulled off my rear bumper about 2 months ago and I have yet to paint that part you just did. I need to get those EVO D-Ring things too. Your rig looks great. Mine started off the same way yours did but I've lucked into awesome deals and free stuff to get her moving along. I need to cut my fenders too. My buddy lent me his dremel cause mine is the cordless one that looses battery super quick. I'm probbaly gonna tackle that next week or next weekend Nice build dude, I'm gonna be following this one since it reminds me of mine haha

Couple pics in case you're interested;

Well nothing major but took my shock boots off today at work. I like the look of the bootlegs rear but I liked the boot up front better than bootless. Oh well all for the better. I'm glad I did take them off since I found dust covering the shock inside both front and rear.



Also ordered the EVO rock stars today. My rear shock mounts are beaten to hell and the extra 1.5" of clearance should help

Did you find any water in the shock boots? I have considered taking mine off too :thinking:

No water but tons of dust on the shaft. Here is the thread I remember reading the benifits about a while back. This made me want to do it and I'm happy I did.

Ithink I'm gonna get under my Jeep Friday afternoon and cut mine off....they actually never fell though, good ol zip ties took care of that for me.

Mine have not fallen off either but there was still crap on the inside when I cut them off.

My set help up fine, but just didnt look right to me on there, plus they all had a lot of crap in them.

I removed the shock boots on Monday while doing the brake lines cause every time I put the jeep the lift they just pop off when at full droop
