We stopped for a very DELICIOIUS treat prepared by Sal's amazing wife (warm apple pie with whipped cream!) my God. I told Sal, if the Jeep fell on me and I died. I would have died a happy man.
Phase 2 - Customize (lol)
As previously mentioned, the tires were clearly rubbing the bumper up front. This had to be fixed. Sal and I spent about an hour picking the perfect line that would make the cut both effective and attractive. We came up with an excellent compromise that we were both very pleased with. Pics below. The rears required NO trimming.
In addressing the cuts, we also significantly improved the approach angle. (to be expected). Pictured below IS a 50 degree approach angle.
Garbage we removed. Also not pictured is the rear sway bar which we entirely removed. The front and rear bump stops are out. And the front swaybar is disconnected. I will remove it later this week.
