[QUOTE="Qaddiction, post: 456922, member: 18430"] This is the weekend I have been waiting for! I take the Jeep in to have the new axles, suspension, steering, and wheels installed. I have waited quite a while for all of the parts to come in and the shop to get me scheduled. However, somehow I still managed to procrastinate enough that I don't have everything done that I would like, or should have done. That stock front bumper is not going to work. The tires will not be able to turn. I have had a VKS Fellon front bumper in my basement for several months. It's just been too cold to paint it outside. Last night I got to work. I removed the stock bumper. That was easy. Then I pulled out the sawz-all. No turning back now! I had done a frame chop bumper on my other JKU so at least I knew what I had to do. I got everything cut off that I needed to and cleaned up the edges. I removed the 4 stock sway bar bolts, put the bumper in place, then re-installed the stock sway bar. With the bumper was in place, I marked the 4 holes I needed to drill out for installation. Finished that up and then called it quits for the night. Unfortunately, it got late and I forgot to snap a picture of the raw bumper installed. Now I need to remove the new bumper and paint it along with the cut frame rails. My daughter has soccer practice tonight, so I don't think I will have any time to work on it. That leaves me with tomorrow night to get this bumper painted and re-installed before it heads to the shop. I at least would like to get some primer on it in case it has to sit outside.
