Looks sick. Do you plan on keeping your quarter panels or folding them?

I have a set of THOR (T&A XJ) quarter guards i'll be installing tonight or tomorrow evening..

I also have a RIGID bumper on order (just like 53guy) that wraps around under the quarter.. so i'll be cutting and folding it soon...

I have yet to see this version of the bumper. Have any pics from somewhere of this? If not I guess I'll just look for yours or Nick's.

 

[ZachMan]

Cruzin Illison or whatever has the same bumper.

 

[glensxj]

Rig looks great! And why is it everyone always seems to sneek in a picture of the wife? well either way both look great err i mean the jeep

 

[DBenz]

I have the rigidco rear bumper too and willbe sending terry my end caps after I talk to him about modifying them like 53guy's because I'll be trimming/folding also.

You know whats sad, I actually know what HDPE means.

 

[MYXJ22]

Looks like your IROKs are about to touch your leaves........:lecture:
So Terry is modifying your bumper end caps so you can fold the quarters huh? He just shipped mine today but I didnt think about asking him to do that, Jeep looks great by the way!

 

[uncc civilengineer]

Actually the Iroks sit about 2" off the leafs... it's an optical illusion I guess.

Yeah he offers it if you ask for it... So, hopefully mine will be here before the SE Crawl but we'll see..

Also, since I'm installing the Thor guards I had him build me (2) back-up lights into the bumper..

Hopefully I'll get those installed this weekend and and get some more pics up.. Planning for a shake/break down run next weekend...

91.. here's Nicks pics of the bumper.. his is a little different b/c he's running one of Terry's original bumpers
