    2012-2018 Rear Side Window Dimensions

    Thanks @JeepJeezy . Looking at the design . Top of support bolts to the roof . Where other models bolts to the gutter above window . The 08-11 doesn’t have gutter above rear side windows . Would def be easier install . Kinda like the cleaner line of the Rebel Offroad as it’s sunken into...

    Exhaust cross member heat shield

    It’s an Auto . The crossover is supposed tuck right up in front of pan . Skid plate bolts on over top to protect crossover & trans . Turns out not all catalytic exhausts for the Jeeps are created equally . Not all of the ones made tuck up properly in front of pan. Some hang down to much so...

    Exhaust cross member heat shield

    When I first read was thinking the same thing . Header Heat wrap . But the wrap absorbing moisture and causing premature rust could be a thing . On the other hand the pipe being hot could dry out moisture pretty quickly. IDK for sure just speculating

    Exhaust cross member heat shield

    The crossover pipe is covered by a skid plate so wouldn’t that suffice for brush fire prevention ?

    Looking for this EAG stubby bumper

    Looks very similar to a Smitty Bilt XRC Gen 1 front stubby . I have the XRC Gen 1 rear bumper and can confirm paint is awesome . No rust after 2 years . Welds are top notch . D brackets are welded front and rear .
