    Actually, I have access to a mandrel tube bender. Custom bumper! :waytogo:

    That sucks! I have to do some sanding on one of the fenders and the hood. For some reason, all of the glue wouldn't come off and just smeared around. The fender that matched the hood came out fine, but the other fender and the hood didn't. :shrug: I didn't have a bit of trouble with the cab, bed, or tailgate.

    Yeah, on the '84-'88s the 4wd bumpers have plastic end caps

    I actually had two 4wd bumpers in the back yard but I found out so late I didn't have time to do anything else. :cry:

    I realized that the calipers I'm using were designed to mount in front of the wheel instead of behind, so I have to scrap all my measurements and redo it with the calipers switched. Here's a couple of sneak peek shots with the rotor assembled on my drop spindles.

    Side by side with an old rotor.

    One more thing. I tried to get the dust caps at NAPA, Autozone, and Kragen but their suppliers were all out of stock. Autozone carries some generic caps that will work. They say they're for Ford/Mopar with a 1-31/32 hole.

    128,000! Mine had 249,000 when I got her. These Grand Cherokee wheels would look pretty sweet if you're going to lift it. They've got a pretty nice dish to them but I can't find a profile shot of them.

    Try 4crawler for your body lift. Best kit out there hands down!

    Anyone recall what size tire he was running on this setup? Very interested in duplicating it.
