Are those the factory rear end caps, or a new wrap-around design from RigidCo? I'm guessing they are the factory ones.

Heres my jeep i bought a few weeks ago. Few things have changed since these pics were taken.

Added a flowmaster exhaust and BDS 6.5" long arm kit and MT MTZ 35" tires.



 
Picked up a new XJ, little nicer rig for the family than my 91.

01 Sport
4.0L/AW4/NP231
LPD30/8.25
33" BFG ATs
ARB front/custom rear with tire carrier
Skids all around
Tuffy drawer bolted in back

Plans for it are new leafs to replace the sagged ones, new coils to correct the gangsta lean, swap the ATs for MTs and eventually a front locker.

Here's the latest pic of my new "rig" waiting to run with the GLJT guys at the Badlands. YES, it's stock but at least I yanked off those STEPS in the parking lot over by the snack stand and threw em in the dumpster.

Wife was pissed tho! :nono:
